Sports betting expansion is, in essence, online gambling expansion. So talk of a FanDuel online casino should surprise absolutely no one. After all, the company had been at the forefront when it comes to mobile sports bets, so this would seem to be a natural evolution. In fact, the sportsbook has already selected a creative media agency, Mischief USA, to help them attract a broader audience, gearing up for a FanDuel online casino growth as more and more states legalize and regulate the activity. We may even see an advertising push later this year. In a press release, the company…

Despite the growing interest in making sports bets legal, it is not currently legal to have sports betting in Georgia. Betting on sports has long been a popular pastime in Georgia, but no legislation has yet been approved. At the same time, most of the southern states have legalized sports betting. Even though daily fantasy sports tournaments are not officially permitted in Georgia, no efforts have been taken to restrict them explicitly. Top DFS companies like DraftKings and FanDuel cater to gamers in the Peach State who want to gamble real money while expecting online sports betting to be permitted…

The short answer is no, online gambling in Maryland is not legal, at least not yet.

The law goes into effect today. But Maine sports betting will be held up at least eight months… possibly longer. In fact, the Gambling Control Unit says they may need more than year to get things in order. Potentially pushing any launch date all the way back to January of 2024. In a state as small as Maine this seems a bit odd. After all, there are currently 30 states with live, regulated sports betting in America. Only eight of those states took more than a year to get things up and running. In fact, a twelve-month time frame is…

For all the talk of sports betting in Massachusetts, it now looks like the launch may not happen in time for this years NFL season as hoped. The state Gaming Commission has asked the public to temper their expectations for a fast launch at this point. A representative from the Commission stated that getting adequate regulations in place for a new industry take time. And that even more importantly, to do so correctly will not “happen overnight”, and maybe not within a month or two.  Adding that to get things done properly, the Commission will need to “take our time.”…

Hold your horses there, son! All those who had been hoping for the launch of Kansas sports betting in time for the kickoff of the NFL Season might be disappointed. Then again, maybe not. While the state Racing and Gaming Commission is working on background checks on potential licensees, the Kansas Lottery has stated that a launch before football season is possible, but in no way a certainty.
