(New York).- After months of canceled sports events, one of America's favorite past times is slowly coming back. With sports, online betting is also reemerging as a topic of discussion. As it is still a relatively new industry and the legal infrastructure for it is still often unclear, some states are acting to change the situation

Outlook on Sports Betting Begins to Shift as Regulations Ease

. For example, just this week, the Massachusetts House passed a USD 459 Million economic development bill, which includes funding for non-profits affected by the pandemic, local projects and language legalizing sports betting. In particular, the new bill describes three license categories for betting, one for online and in-person betting at casinos, a second for in-person betting at race tracks and the third for sports betting on mobile or other digital-only platforms. FansUnite Entertainment Inc. (OTC: FUNFF) (CSE: FANS), Penn National Gaming, Inc., Caesars Entertainment, Boyd Gaming Corporation, International Game Technology PLC.


Many other developments in the sports betting market are being introduced, now at a faster pace than ever before. Just recently, DraftKings announced that it enhanced its sports sponsorship portfolio as leagues continue to resume operations, previously canceled due to the pandemic, securing a deal with the PGA Tour. According to a report by CNBC, Norb Gambuzza, PGA Tour Senior Vice President of Media and Gaming explained in a statement that "the PGA Tour couldn't be more pleased with growing our collaboration with DraftKings… The expansion of the relationship to now include sports betting is a natural evolution and one which fully supports and promotes the PGA TOUR's objectives of reaching and engaging new segments of fans while introducing them to our players, tournaments and media platforms."


FansUnite Entertainment Inc. (OTC: FUNFF) (CSE: FANS) yesterday announced breaking news that it, "is preparing to welcome back Scottish football for the first time in five months. The 2020/21 Scottish Premiership season is set to start on Saturday, August 1, 2020.


The new season kicks off this weekend with six games played over Saturday, Sunday, and Monday. Fans will be able to watch this weekend's best matches, and more fixtures than ever before through Sky Sports exclusive deal to televise 48 Premiership games this season.


'We are excited to welcome back Scottish football, as it represents the largest betting volume per single sport on our platform,' said Paul Petrie, McBookie founder and Director. 'During the 2019 season, McBookie saw the Scottish Premiership produce $567k CAD of betting volume, representing approximately 13% of the total $4.42M CAD in betting that was placed in the football category of the platform.'


With the Scottish football season being cut short in 2019 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, McBookie customers were still able to enjoy betting on alternative sports such as the English Premier League.


'It has been a long five months without football in this country and we're excited for the first ball to be kicked," continued Paul Petrie. "Our customers have enjoyed betting on the English Premier League, but nothing really beats betting on football from your own country. After a strong month with the completion of the English Premier League, the new Scottish Premiership season gives McBookie the opportunity to start the journey on their home turf and watch the business achieve new heights.'


'As a versatile betting platform, McBookie has once again showcased they are able to provide a diverse set of betting solutions to a growing customer base in any market environment," commented Darius Eghdami, CEO and Chairman of FansUnite Entertainment. "When we purchased McBookie earlier this year, our goal was to provide the team with the resources needed to drive customer registration numbers. With one of their most popular sports returning to market, we are excited to see how the company can scale in 2020 and future years.'


McBookie is also launching a revamped loyalty program in conjunction with the start of the 2020 Scottish Premiership season, and has introduced the Tartan Club to reward regular customers with free bets, enhanced odds, and enhanced prices.


The platform will also continue its sponsorship of the Daily Record's Mr Fixit column and Jim Delahunt's column in the Scottish Sun, the most impactful gambling coverage in the country's two biggest national newspapers."
