Last week, the American Gaming Association (AGA) sent out a letter to the U.S. Attorney General signed by around a dozen congresspeople requesting that he go after offshore sportsbooks for actually having the chutzpah to compete with state regulated sportsbooks. We trust AG Merrick Garland is as tired of seeing sports wagering ads from the so-called "legitimate" companies flooding the airwaves as we are. Not to mention, he has more pressing issues to be concerned with such as an attempted overthrow of the government and radicalization coupled with assault rifle mass shootings almost on a daily basis. Oh yeah, there's a fentanyl epidemic that's killing people left and right.
Notícias Flash: Foram os livros offshore que trabalharam para que a apostas esportivas seja licenciada e regulamentada nos EUA para quem não recebeu o memorando.É verdade que o AGA apoiou o esforço que procurou fazer com que a Suprema Corte derrubasse a Lei de Proteção Esportiva Profissional e Amadora, 28 U.S.C.§ 3702 e segs.(Paspa), na íntegra, que o Supremo Tribunal fez em 2018. O AGA não iniciou o esforço de Nova Jersey para que Paspa seja abolido nos tribunais inferiores.
Ex -senador estadual de Nova Jersey Ray Lesnick, de fato, uma vez criticou o AGA por se opor às contas patrocinadas anteriores que procuram legalizar as apostas esportivas.

"Este é um caso de proprietários de cassinos que colocam o monopólio de apostas esportivas que desfrutam em Las Vegas, à frente do bem-estar econômico e competitividade de Nova Jersey, puro e simples", disse o senador Lesniak, D-Union e presidente do Comitê de Crescimento Econômico do Senado.“Se Atlantic City permanecer economicamente viável e um gerador de receita para a parte sul do nosso estado, ele deve oferecer novos produtos para jogos, incluindo apostas esportivas legalizadas e apostas on -line.O fato de os proprietários de cassinos de Nova Jersey estarem no caminho da recuperação econômica de Atlantic City tem mais a ver com os resultados em Nevada do que com preocupação com o estado do jardim e seus moradores. ”
Notavelmente, as ligas esportivas também embarcaram ....não com Lesniak ou sua conta. Na verdade, eles estavam fazendo tudo ao seu alcance para impedir sua passagem.Meu como as coisas mudaram!
Mas agora atingimos uma nova baixa.
Nos quase 30 anos desde que as casas de apostas offshore estão em operação (o setor realmente explodiu por volta de 1996), em nenhum momento um operador usou a falta de moradia como um meio de tentar chamar a atenção e buscar a aceitação de suas plataformas de negócios.Lembre -se de que esses são livros offshore operando principalmente na Costa Rica e na República Dominicana, onde a pobreza corre galopante.A indústria está entre os mais bem pagos na Costa Rica em particular.
DraftKings puxou o cartão sem -teto.
As tribos da Califórnia que apóiam uma medida de apostas esportivas baseadas no varejo que busca manter a atividade em terras tribais divulgou um novo anúncio de vídeo direcionado ao CEO da DraftKings, Jason Robins.O financiamento para o anúncio veio dessas tribos:
San Manuel Band of Mission Indians
Rincon Band of Luiseño Indians
Pala Casino Spa Resort
E o anúncio chama o DraftKings e Robins.
O script para o anúncio dizia: "Eles chamam sua iniciativa de apostas esportivas da Califórnia" soluções para a falta de moradia ".
"Mas o CEO da DraftKings recentemente foi um pouco fora do roteiro, gabando-se de investidores que a iniciativa tem uma taxa de imposto estabelecida pelo setor.Porque, ele riu: "Você pode realmente escrever toda a legislação na votação, o que é bom".

As três tribos parecem estar seguindo o Playbook of Florida's Seminoles para manter o DraftKings fora do Sunshine State.O Anúncios "vigilantes da Flórida" - que, em um momento, parecia estar no ar depois de todos os outros comerciais - chamados de DraftKings como "pessoas de fora" e alertaram os floridianos a não assinar petições que afirmavam que os recursos móveis do jogo iriam para financiar a educação.
Ambos os lados da Califórnia se comprometeram a gastar pelo menos US $ 100 milhões em suas campanhas individuais para que apostas esportivas legalizadas no Golden State, seja em dispositivos móveis ou estritamente pessoalmente nos cassinos.
Muitas das tribos argumentam que as apostas on -line “quebrariam a promessa” da soberania tribal, pois os lucros iriam para empresas externas enquanto canibalizavam seus próprios cassinos.O PokerStars tentou e não conseguiu fazer o poker on-line legalizado na Califórnia, um esforço de uma década.
As tribos também alertaram que a transformação de telefones celulares em cassinos virtuais levará ao vício em controle, o que por sua vez poderia resultar em falta de moradia.Então, sim, há uma certa ironia na iniciativa e mensagens de DraftKings.
Um estado dos EUA que dificilmente pode ser chamado de "prudish" quando se trata das chamadas indústrias de "pecado", Colorado, já é Considerando maneiras de reduzir anúncios de apostas esportivas.
O dilúvio repetitivo, com slogans banais como "Make It Rain", levará até a pessoa mais zen absolutamente louca, escreveu Conor McCormick-Cavanagh, da Westword, em setembro passado.Ele é escritor de funcionários para escritor de funcionários para Denver Westword.
"Eu pensei que haveria pelo menos algum tipo de desaceleração", disse o presidente democrático da Câmara dos Deputados do Colorado, Alec Garnett, depois que as apostas esportivas foram legalizadas no estado por meio de um referendo de eleitor.
Garnett was an early backer of the industry and supported the intiative. It just narrowly passed, an indication that nearly half the state's population will agree with his current position regarding how annoying these ads really are.
"I have seen a big uptick in the number of complaints from the public that we’ve been having about the amount of sportsbook advertising," Garnett remarked.
By February, Garnett was already contemplating measures to curb said advertising.
“I thought that the industry or the market itself would start to regulate itself,” he said.
An industry using the guise of helping to fund homelessness and education is not going to self-regulate itself. If you believe that, we have a bridge to sell you.
“Every legislator should be able to say that sometimes there are unintended consequences and you have to take responsibility for them and clean them up and that’s what I’m doing.”
“We’ve done it with marijuana, we’ve done it with tobacco, we’ve done it to certain degrees with alcohol. So, we need to be smart about going about this.”
In March, the NCAA did the responsible thing and refused to allow sports gambling companies to advertise during March Madness.
Californians will now be getting a taste of what sports betting ads flooding the airwaves looks like long before the activity is ever legalized, assuming it gets to that point. And there's a good chance voters will be so sick of the campaign ads, they'll vote against both ballot initiatives.
That's because billions will be pumped into these commercials. When all is said and done, residents of the state might be asking "Gavin Who?". Gavin Newsom is running for re-election as Governor and we here at Gambling911.com have the Over on the sports betting ballot initiatives ads running more than the "Newsom for Governor" spots.
Make no mistake about it, California is the prize. The state by itself represents the largest sub-national economy in the world.
"Really, this is more than the ‘Thrilla in Manila,’ if you think what this is going to be like," said Sonoma State political science professor David McCuan. "These two ballot measures will probably set records."
Proposition 26 is also called the "Tribal Sports Wagering Act" and is backed by a coalition of dozens of Native American tribes. It would legalize in-person sports betting at tribal casinos and four horse racetracks including Golden Gate Fields for people 21 and older.
This group says that a portion of monies taken in will go towards fighting gambling addiction, a widely acceptable industry standard.
The state’s independent Legislative Analyst’s Office estimates this measure could generate tens of millions of dollars each year for the state.
"It will bring money to the state of California; it also will help tribes continue the self-sufficiency and stewardship they’ve maintained for 20 years," said Kathy Fairbanks, a spokesperson for the Tribal Act.
"California Solutions to Homelessness and Mental Health Act" is the other initiative, a la DraftKings and a few other outside gambling interests. The name alone is a bit condescending and pegs California voters as idiots, something they are not. Seriously, the first thing most of us think of when it comes to compulsive gamblers is an individual who is going to lose their home courtesy of their gambling addiction. Most won't, thankfully, but nobody except the people running DraftKings will see a ballot referendum entitled "California Solutions to Homelessness and Mental Health Act" and think to themselves "oh, wow, legalizing sports wagering is going to help our homeless problem".
Gaming companies must partner with a tribe, and pay a $100 million licensing fee and a $10 million renewal fee every five years. 85% of the tax dollars would go towards homelessness services, while 15% goes towards tribes not involved in online sports betting, presumably those who are pushing for that other ballot initiative.
85% is actually somewhere in the neiborhood of 7%. DraftKings and the gang get around 90%. That's because the California tax where these resources are coming from is only 10% of the revenues taken in. Compare that with a state like New York or Pennsylvania where it's 35% to 50% and maybe more.
Labor leader Dolores Huerta recently put her backing behind the in-person measure. She called the online initiative "misguided and dangerous."
"It doesn’t offer enough protections to ensure with a 100% certainty that kids under 21 aren’t gambling," contended Fairbanks.
Nathan Click, spokesperson for the online gaming initiative, fired back.
"Those are simply false attacks. Look at the experience of 23 other states that have legalized online sports betting, they’re proving you can do so, safely and responsibly."
Yes, look at what early backers in Colorado are now saying.
The tribes overwhelmingly support the in-person initiative, for now at least. That number is around 60, but the Middletown Rancheria of Pomo Indians and the Big Valley Rancheria Band of Pomo Indians have joined forces with DraftKings and the gang.
In case you are keeping score, these are the tribes that previously supported an outside gambling company, PokerStars, efforts to legalize online poker in California: Morongo Band of Mission Indians and San Manuel Band of Mission Indians, and to some extent later on, Pala Band of Mission Indians, The United Auburn Indian Community and Rincon Band of Luiseno Indians.
Those opposed to PokerStars entry, and presumably would take a similar stance against the likes of a DraftKings or FanDuel, were Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians, Barona Band of Mission Indians, Habematolel Pomo of Upper Lake, Lytton Band of Pomo Indians, Pechanga Band of Luiseno Indians, Sycuan Band of the Kumeyaay Nation, Table Mountain Rancheria, Viejas Band of Kumeyaay Indians and the Yocha Dehe Wintun Nation.
Ultimately voters will decide and could even opt to approve or, as previously noted, reject both measures.
A statewide ballot measure can be approved by a majority vote of the people.
Approval of both would likely result in extended legal action as the two measures contradict one another.
Should both pass and the tribal measure passes by a higher margin, legal action would be likely as the tribes could contend the two measures are in conflict. The DraftKings backed measure is claiming explicitly not to be in conflict while the "Tribal Sports Wagering Act" makes no mention of a conflict.
If a conflict can be shown, the measure passed with the higher margin of ‘yes’ votes goes into effect and the other does not, per California’s constitution.
