Is it Legal in the US?
The state of Delaware is looking to take on the US sports industry this month
with the announcement that the state has every intention of entering the US
online casino sports betting industry. Currently, Delaware is not one of the US
states that has permission to offer land or internet sports betting but the
state has announced plans to expand gambling throughout the state as a way to
boost the amount of money coming into the state budget. The National Football
League though is not too keen on the idea and has launched strong efforts to
stop Delaware from launching a US sports betting industry. The National Football
League has announced that it will launch a lawsuit against the state if it
proceeds with attempts to launch an online casino sports betting market within
the state.
The whole situation is heating up though as more US states are considering the
profitability of an online casino sports betting market. Massachusetts has
announced that it is also considering launching an in-state sports betting
market despite the discouragement and threats from the NFL. The US is in a
crisis situation right now with the state of the economy and the individual
state governments are looking for an option that involved crisis resolution
without the federal government.
Right now, the main solution on the table seems to be the online casino sports
betting sites despite threats from the NFL. The NFL has a big problem with the
new sports betting plans allegedly because of integrity in sports issues. Really
though control is more likely the motivating factor. The NFL will lose some of
the control over the betting market once several states begin to offer land and
online sports betting opportunities. |
