Rhode Island approves mobile sports betting, but ...

There's an interesting twist on the bill headed to the governor's desk to sign.

Yes, you'll be able to bet online in Rhode Island, through Rhode Island's two casinos, if the bill passes, but . . .

You're going to have to register for the mobile betting in person at one of the casinos.

Good thing Rhode Island is a relatively small state.

Not sure what this provision does except make it impossible for tourists to place mobile bets if they're just passing through -- "I know you want to see the Vanderbilt mansions in Newport, honey, but I really need to stop at a casino to sign up for their app" -- and the bill could change before enacted, but it seems weird -- like personally having to shake Jeff Bezos' hand before you can order on Amazon.

Hmmm.... The governors - John Hickenlooper and Jay Inslee - don't even make the list and Michelle Obama isn't even running.
