 In
2004, the Washington Legislature authorized advance
deposit wagering and placed regulatory responsibility
under the Washington Horse Racing Commission (WHRC).
The bill, ESSB 6481, was signed by Governor Gary
Locke on April 1, 2004, and became law immediately
(RCW 67.16.260). The WHRC adopted new administrative
rules, Chapter 260-49 WAC on May 13, 2004. On
May 19, 2004, the WHRC received the first application
to conduct advance deposit wagering from TVG.
On June 10, 2004, the WHRC granted a license to
TVG to conduct advance deposit wagering. On November
18, 2004, the WHRC also granted a license to XpressBet,
Inc. to conduct advance deposit wagering.
Listed below are the only advance deposit wagering firms
