The new legislative session for Oklahoma begins on Monday, February 6th (02-06-23) and there's already been a bill introduced that would legalize sports betting in the state. It was introduced by Rep. Ken Luttrell (R-Ponca City) who introduced similar legislation in the last legislative session, but it failed to pass.

While nothing is guaranteed it's looking pretty good and the bill has a much better chance of passing this time around, especially with the Governor's support. Right now Oklahomans are going out of state to bet on sports or are using other outlets and sites. None of which benefit the state in any significant or real way.
