South Dakota now requires anyone operating an online wagering pool for horse and dog races to obtain a state license as a multi-jurisdictional totalizator hub. The bill clarifies how taxes are split when betting pools combine multiple states' wagers, reducing South Dakota's tax share from 3% to 0.25% when using a hub system, with those funds directed to horse and dog racing programs.
