(New York).- The number of states which are launching online betting businesses continues to grow. A rapidly improving legal infrastructure and public opinion have helped pave the way for more welcoming regulations.
For example, the sports betting industry quietly began in Florida on Monday with the launch of Hard Rock Sportsbook, an app run by the Seminole Tribe. The Seminole Tribe has the exclusive rights to every bet made on every game, everywhere in Florida after an agreement with Governor Ron DeSantis that was approved by the state legislature and the federal government. "We can spend it to improve education. We can spend it to improve roads, fix healthcare. We can spend it to cut taxes. This is USD 500 Million, largely for the activity that was going on in these Seminole reservations that we can use to improve Florida," said State Rep. Randy Fine, a Republican from Brevard County who championed the compact. "I think to get USD 500 Million, most of which will be paid on activities that were already taking place, I think is a pretty good deal for the state." FansUnite Entertainment Inc., Boyd Gaming Corporation, Caesars Entertainment, Churchill Downs Incorporated, Bally's Corporation.
The shift to a more favorable attitude towards online gambling services is visible across the board. According to data published AGC, nearly 7 in 10 (69%) Americans say that gaming provides a positive benefit to the U.S. economy and 63% agree that the industry provides high-quality jobs. Moving forward, as the legal infrastructure continues to become friendlier towards online gambling and sports betting in particular, the trend of partnerships with various leagues and teams across the country is expected to accelerate. "When legislatures return in earnest, we firmly believe the number of states ready to consider accelerating mobile sports betting and online gaming legislation to drive tax revenue will expand substantially," said Matt King, CEO of FanDuel, according to ESPN.
