ROCHESTER, N.Y. (WROC) Put your money where your mouth isor maybe where your phone is.Now that mobile sports betting is live in New York State, locals are prepping their bets for the Bills divisional playoff game this weekend.

Christian Damico said hes putting everything on our hometown team.

Really excited for the Bills game, I think were going to beat the chiefs. I went to Kansas City last year for the AFC Championship game so I know how its going to be there this weekend and its going to be a good game, Damico said.

The Governors 2023 state budget briefing book revealed $150 million was bet on sports during the first weekend that mobile sports betting went live two weekends ago. Just this week it was reported that New York is likely to surpass New Jersey for the top spot in the national mobile sports betting market. This is according to a company that most of the legal sports betting industry uses to verify their customers are where they say they are.

They are constantly asking for the Wi-Fi password. You have to be in a location in New York to be able to place the bets on the app. Some out of towners, their phones wont work because they have to be logged in to a Wi-Fi network to place a bet, said pub owner, Tom OCallaghan.

OCallaghans Pub on Monroe Avenue has adjusted some of the offerings at the bar to meet the needs of those who are betting this weekend.

We have video billboards that will show the odds of all the games, both college and professional that will just stream throughout the bar on two different TVs. Anyone looking for their odds can check the boards right there or go right to their apps, OCallaghan said.

Online sports betting was originally legalized in New York as its expected to bring in big money for the state.Lawmakers said they anticipate the industry can generate around $500 million in tax revenue.DraftKings was one of the first sports betting companies to be legalized in New York. Johnny Avello is the Director of Race & Sports Operations for DraftKings and said mobile sports betting being legalized in New York State is a huge win.

The bets that came in from New York were astounding, just huge numbers. New York was right there at the top of our betting numbers. We knew that New Yorkers like to gamble and they sure showed it over that weekend, Avello said, And when we do get to Sunday, the bills arent the first game either. Thats the last game of the divisional playoffs. For us at DraftKings, a lot of things will be tying into that game and I know that the bills fans are excited and theyre going to be betting their team and all the props we have to offer.

If you plan on stopping by OCallaghans Pub this weekend to watch the game or place some bets, be sure to buy a drink or two.

Were giving away some Josh Allen jerseys, some memorabilia, jackets, and a ton of bills cozies, OCallaghan said, All you have to do is come in and buy a beer, we enter you to win just by spending money here.

The bills game starts at 6:30 pm on Sunday. The only place you can watch it is on WROC-TV.

Mobile sports betting expected to soar ahead of NFL divisional playoffs - RochesterFirst

When Allison Saillard joined Penn Interactive as a senior project manager, she knew she was taking a gamble.

Headquartered in Center City West, Philadelphia, but with a hybrid remote culture of over 350 employees, the interactive gaming company has made its name in the sports betting and online gambling space something Saillard knew very little about.

The industry I was working in before was very female-dominated, Saillard said. At Penn Interactive, its not just the technology, but the industry of sports betting and casino that is dominated by men.

Working in compliance and project management, this growing group of women at Penn Interactive have helped launch its app in 11 states in a little over a year, including seven in the past three months alone.

Because each state has different laws pertaining to gambling, understanding and launching a gambling app across the country comes with its own particular set of challenges. The app is slightly different from one state to another, and without the proper communication between internal and external stakeholders, its a challenge to tailor-make and launch the app across the country. Thats why compliance and project management hires are essential.

Technical Compliance Manager Mary Obusek helps bridge that internal and external communications gap. She communicates externally with state regulatory bodies, taking their feedback and translating it to the internal engineering team.

Oftentimes, Im that conduit or middle person to talk about technical issues to our own internal Penn interactive compliance team and state regulatory bodies who may not understand the technology coming from the engineering side, said Obusek.

Before Technical Project Manager Dara Good joined Penn Interactive, the product, engineering, and compliance teams were disjointed in many ways, attempting to communicate across siloed departments.

Mary Obusek. (Courtesy photo)

I think my role came about here because the company and the engineering team at PI was growing so fast, Good explained. This role came about to facilitate, streamline, and road map work across teams. So I think that this role is pretty pivotal to filling the gaps that no one anticipates happening.

Not only has Penn Interactive launched in many states in the past year, but its also grown its team, creating an opportunity for more voices in the room to help streamline processes and bring a unique perspective to app development.

Obusek may be an admitted sports fanatic, but Good and Saillards backgrounds are far from it. Its that diversity of thought that helps strengthen Penn Interactives growth and process as it expands.

I think we can bring a unique look, whether its from a design perspective, product perspective, or even an engineering perspective on how to fix things and what we do, Obusek said. Online sports betting may skew male, but more women are joining these apps every year (and early research suggests women may even be better at betting). Bringing in different voices in the development phase could also inform the engagement from the end-user.

Penn Interactive encourages a culture of asking questions and learning on the job.

Culture here at Penn is very open and communicative, Good said. People from all different levels throughout the company are constantly asking questions and encouraging collaboration to the point where no one should feel intimidated to ask questions.

Whats more, Penn Interactives growing team of women in compliance and technical project management are expanding what it means to be a woman in a technical role. Women in tech doesnt just mean a woman programmer. Tech-adjacent roles are equally essential in the process.

Im not a super technical person, but I love technology and I love being around it facilitating it, Saillard said. I want other women to understand that there is a role for them in whatever aspect it is in technology, there is space for us.

Theres the oft-cited statistic that women only apply for jobs when they meet 100% of the qualifications, whereas men apply when they meet just 60%. Just because someone isnt cranking out lines of code doesnt mean there isnt a space for them in a technology role. In fact, Saillard said, her experience has been more about her willingness to learn on the job and ask questions than the skill sets she brought in.

As long as you are willing to learn and willing to understand ways to improve the experience, then you are a great person to have on the team, Good said. Thats something thats been super attractive to me, not only as a female but also as someone who didnt have experience in this industry.

More and more states have legalized online sports betting, with the most recent being New York, which launched FanDuel Sportsbook, among mobile apps for wagering.

Other states have set the wheels in motion to legalize online sports betting in the near future.

And in one particular state, many have been wondering:

When will online sports betting be legal in Ohio?

Per the Ohio Casino Control Commission, sports betting in Ohio has a launch date set for January, 1, 2023, after Gov. Mike DeWine signed House Bill 29, which legalized sports betting throughout the state whether it be online or at a brick and mortar casino. The bill was signed on December 22, 2021.

The Ohio Senate passed HB 29 in June 2021, but like most of the sportsbooks that have been legalized in various states around the country, Ohios delay in passing of the bill centered around issues with the online betting aspect.

That now, of course, has been resolved.

So what are the next steps to getting a live launch for Ohio sports betting?

With the signing of the House Bill 29, sports betting is technically legal in the state of Ohio.

However, online sports betting is not as no app operators have been approved just yet.

Also, while there are 11 operating casinos in Ohio, none of them have sportsbooks. That is likely to change, however, as its expected most of these casinos will apply for sportsbook licenses.

The state will be allowed to start issuing sports betting licenses on April 1.

While January 1, 2023, is the target date, some Ohio lawmakers are hoping to launch sports betting earlier.

We want to get this up and running as soon as possible, but were building a whole new industry, Sen. Kirk Schuring said at the time of the HB 29 signing to The Cincinnati Enquirer. Were hoping it can be done sooner (than January 1, 2023).

There is some work to be done first. Paperwork, choosing which operators will get sportsbooks, and server testing, to name just a few.

The HB 29 calls for as many as 25 online sportsbooks initially. Casinos, sports teams, stadiums, bars, and restaurants can all apply for licenses. And, of course, online apps can apply to be online betting operators, too.

Casinos and sports teams that have initial licenses can apply for a second if they can prove to the Ohio Casino Control Commission (OCCC) that it will benefit the state economically.

It is unknown at this time what sportsbooks will be coming to Ohio, although the FanDuel Sportsbook, an affiliate partner of Heavy, has been operating Daily Fantasy Sports (DFS) in the state for sometime.

It is assumed FanDuel, among other online apps, will make a strong push for an online sports betting license in Ohio as soon as they possibly can.

Create a FanDuel Sportsbook account

While it isnt yet legal to bet sports online in Ohio, the FanDuel Sportsbook is live and legal four of the five states that border it.

Pennsylvania, Michigan, Indiana, and West Virginia all border Ohio and each have already launched the FanDuel Sportsbook.

If youre an Ohio resident and want to place online wagers, you can. You just need to travel to a state that has legalized online sports betting and most of your neighbors have. Simply take a trip over the border to be physically present in one of these four states and youre ready to go.

All you have to do is get a FanDuel Sportsbook account, which takes just a few minutes with a couple of quick steps:

1) Download the app for iOS or Android. You can find those in the App Store (iPhones) or Google Play Store (Androids).

2) Create a FanDuel Sportsbook account.

3) Make your initial deposit of at least $10.

4) Choose the sporting events of your choice and place your bets (there is a $5 minimum bet).

You must be at least 21 years old to make online bets.

Bet with FanDuel Sportsbook

The FanDuel Sportsbook has no shortage of sports to wager on. Theyre currently taking bets on the following sports:

And these are just the sports that are in season. Other sports are available in season. As for the types of bets, again, too many to list.

There are the basic bets, like point spread, moneyline, and total (over/under). Then there are the parlays, teasers, team and player props, in-game bets, and more. The wagers tend to vary from sport to sport.

If you are a resident of Ohio and happen to be in Pennsylvania, Michigan, Indiana, or West Virginia and want to place a bet on an NFL Playoff game, FanDuel Sportsbook has a new user promotion for first-time bettors on the app.

You can bet $5 to win $150 on any of the four divisional games this weekend. Thats 30/1 odds on any of the games.

If your team wins, you get $150 cash, not site credit. This is promo is for new users only.

This weekends games are (Point Spreads provided by FanDuel):

It sure is. Pennsylvania legalized online sports betting in May 2019.

FanDuel, which has a sportsbook at Valley Forge Casino in King of Prussia, entered the PA online betting scene in July of 2019.

Once youre physically in the state, you can place online sports bets with FanDuel Sportsbook.

Michigan launched in-person betting on March 11, 2020, just days before the casinos were shut down due to the pandemic.

They were quick to roll out online sports betting in January 2021, just in time to take Super Bowl wagers.

FanDuel Sportsbook went live in Michigan on January 22, 2021, so if youre present in the state, you can place sports bets online.

Indiana legalized sports betting in September 2019, with online apps coming into the fray about a month later.

The FanDuel Sportsbook launched in October 26, 2019. So if youre in the Hoosier State and want to place some online sports bets, as long as youre at least 21 years of age, you can legally wager.

Bet online with FanDuel Sportsbook

West Virginia sportsbooks have been accepting in-person wagers since August 2018, with online apps going live a year later.

The FanDuel Sportsbook online app was one of the first to launch, going live in August 2019.

Just as the other states who have legalized online sports betting, in order to do so, you must be physically present in the state and be at least 21 years old.

In addition to Ohios neighbors mentioned earlier Pennsylvania, Michigan, Indiana, and West Virginia there are nine other states who have legalized online sports betting and feature FanDuel as an operator.

Those states include Arizona, Colorado, Connecticut, Illinois, Iowa, New Jersey, New York, Tennessee, and Virginia.

If youre in one of the those states, you can create a FanDuel Sportsbook account and begin placing online bets, just as long as youre 21 years of age or older.

Ohio is one of the most populated states at roughly 11.7 million, 7th-most in the U.S., according to 2021 numbers.

The state also has professional sports teams in the NFL (Cincinnati Bengals, Cleveland Browns), NBA (Cleveland Cavaliers), MLB (Cincinnati Reds, Cleveland Guardians), NHL (Columbus Blue Jackets), and MLS (Columbus Crew, FC Cincinnati). There are also over a dozen major colleges and universities with Division I athletics.

The Ohio Legislative Service Commission estimates sports betting can eventually produce upwards of $3.35 billion in revenue in the state.

For comparison sake, two bordering states with similar populations Pennsylvania (12.8 million) and Illinois (12.6 million) are seeing record-setting numbers.

According to Legal Sports Report, Pennsylvania posted a record $84.9 million in revenue in November 2021, while Illinois set a revenue record of $78.2 million over the same month.

According to an article on SI.com from December 22, 2021:

A 10 percent tax on net revenue will be implemented, with roughly 98 percent of that going toward funding public and private K-12 education and the remaining 2 percent will go toward problem gambling assistance.

As for some geographical tax rate comparisons, Pennsylvania taxes 36 percent for online sports betting, West Virginia, like Ohio will be, is 10 percent, Michigan is 9.65 percent, and Indiana 9.5%.

Newly legalized New York has a 51.5 percent tax rate.

Mobile sports betting has been off to a hot start in New York two weeks after it launched.

New York sportsbooks took in $150 million in bets during the first weekend alone of legalized mobile sports betting, according to the state Gaming Commission.

Ricky Saldana is a lifelong sports bettor and wasted no time placing bets the day New York legalized mobile sports gaming.

"I'm just happy that I can be in my living room and just doing it from my phone," says Saldana.

He's one of the nearly 900,000 New Yorkers to place a bet in the first two weeks since it was legalized, according to the state.

"I love sports but the regular season is kind of boring, so this brings excitement to the regular season," says Saldana.

Michigan online sports betting launched on January 22, 2021. Now that weve gone once around the sun since it became legal to bet on sports online in Michigan, lets take a look at what its meant for the state and what the future holds.

By all measures, Michigan has been a success for an industry thats rapidly expanding and also finding its legs. When it launched, Michigan was the third-most populous state to offer mobile sports betting (based on citizens 21 years or older).

After a year that saw more than three billion in sports betting handle, Michigan moves into year two with a full steam of momentum. An even better 2022 is likely, but there are ways to improve online sports betting for Michigan citizens.

As state Representative in Michigan from 2015 to 2020, Brandt Iden worked on sports betting legislation that eventually became the bill signed by Gov. Gretchen Whitmer in December of 2019. Hes proud of the efforts to launch online sports betting in Michigan, and he sees legalization primarily as a consumer safety issue.

The biggest reason we wanted an online sports betting bill to be passed in Michigan was to safeguard citizens, Iden told Gaming Today in an interview. The revenue is nice, but most importantly, with unregulated offshore betting options out there, we wanted to protect consumers in Michigan.

This is a low-margin industry, Iden says, so primarily for Michigan our concerns were with regulation.

Thanks to the careful manner in which Michigan legislators and state officials handled their rollout of sports betting, Michigan has become a template for others.

Other states have adopted what has become known as The Michigan Model for their sports betting, Iden says. Both Arizona and Connecticutadopted many of the facets of sports betting law that Michigan pioneered, especially in regards to working with tribal governments.

The Michigan Model can be classified as careful legislation, consumer protection, and a fair tax rate and low license fee (just $150,000 for commercial operators). The approach allows sportsbooks to make a profit, while still guaranteeing a healthy market and tax revenue for the state and cities (Detroit taxes its three casinos involved in sports betting). Michigan also laid out the welcome mat to online casinos and online poker operators, an olive branch to those niche industries that have been popular with Michiganders. The state also allows betting on in-state collegiate athletics, something not every jurisdiction has been willing to do.

In his current position as Head of Government Affairs for Sportradar (a licensed supplier of sports betting data that operates in several states across the country), Iden sees Michigan as a success story, but theres still room for improvement.

Theres more that the state could do for problem gambling, Iden explained. Id like to see Michigan implement a Gambling Addiction Court, similar to what we see in Nevada.

Michigan has drug courts, so why not a court to assist people who have an addiction to gambling or encounter financial problems due to a gambling problem?

Michigans decision to keep the tax rate on online sports betting relatively modest has led to smaller tax revenue than some states that have taken an axe to sportsbook operators. Operators in Michigan pay a 9.65% tax rate on adjusted gross sports betting receipts.

The Michigan Gaming Control Board was authorized to license 15 operators for online sports betting. As of January 2022, there are 14 active, including industry leaders BetMGM, Caesars, DraftKings, FanDuel, BetRivers, and PointsBet.

Heres a month-by-month look at sports betting handle, hold (the amount the sportsbooks won), and tax revenue generated by the industry.

While more than $3.6 billion in sports bets were placed in the state in 2021, only $7.2 million was paid to the State Treasury in taxes from online sports betting last year. Thats a small amount compared to taxes brought in from other activities.

In contrast to online sports betting, online casino games like poker and slots paid $201.7 million in taxes to the State of Michigan Treasury last year, and an additional $55.4 million to the City of Detroit.

Also, more than $40 million in taxes were generated from hunting licenses in Michigan.

The bulk of tax revenue from online sports betting in Michigan is earmarked for K-12 education programs and problem gambling resources. As the states sports betting market matures and sportsbooks temper bonuses designed to lure new customers, that revenue should swell.

But the economic benefits are more than just tax revenue. Jobs have been created, and while its difficult to nail down how many new jobs are in Michigan since January of 2021 from sports betting, those new payroll taxes must be added to taxes on sports betting winnings to get closer to the industrys economic impact on the state.

The process phase in Michigan, in which state regulators debated and implemented the rules for governing online sports betting, coincided with the unwelcome arrival of COVID-19. As a result, many tribal casinos in Michigan that partnered with sportsbooks faced a challenging economic period in 2020 and into 2021.

While the state determined the best way to launch and monitor sports betting, casinos closed for months across Michigan due to the rapid spread of COVID-19. Online sports betting (and the allowance for online registration) provided a path to revenue that didnt require folks to leave their homes.

As sovereign nations, licensed tribes are free to allow on-reservation retail and mobile/online sports betting. But in a wrinkle, Michigan tribes are permitted to provide statewide mobile sports betting beyond tribal lands. That type of betting, typically done in conjunction with a commercial sportsbook partner, is regulated under Michigan law.

Michigan Online Sports Betting Hits One-Year Anniversary: $3.6 Billion Wagered - GamingTodaySlotsToday

Sports betting media group Better Collective has entered into a commercial partnership with the New York Post to deliver technology and commercial content for online sports wagering through its proprietary sports betting platform Action Network, the business announced on Friday.

Through this newly-signed deal, Better Collective is set to bring the best in commercial sports betting content to the publications readership of more than 92 million unique users, out of which more than 11 come from New York state, which has begun regulating online betting as of earlier this month.

The agreement is for the delivery of content, data, and statistics for the betting section of the New York Post, explains Better Collective in a press statement. It includes the sports betting group delivering its technology and content for wagering to educate and empower the US audience of online bettors and help them navigate in a market that is growing fast.

We believe that educating bettors and iGamers by providing them with relevant information, data and statistics will enhance their betting experience, said Marc Pedersen, CEO Better Collective US. The partnership with the New York Post is the biggest media partnership agreement to date for Better Collective. It will allow us to reach a very large number of potential users and we are excited to partner with the New York Post to provide betting and iGaming information to a growing audience.

Better Collective describes the US market as a key one for its operations, especially given its ongoing growth, with more and more federal states now open for regulated online betting and iGaming. The company has a set of established sports betting brands in the country, including the most recent acquisition of US sports media platform Action Network, in 2021.

Plans of expansion have led the Denmark-based company to expand to the recently opened New York state, where Better Collective is off to a great start with the current five operators that have already launched their offerings there, and the expected entry of an additional four operators as soon as they meet regulatory requirements.

Having entered the market -expected to become one of the US biggest, if not the largest- and signed deals with its operators is seen as a landmark achievement by the company. It underlines Better Collectives strong position in the US mobile sports betting market, which is now further strengthened by the newly-announced media partnership.

"The New York mobile launch was the biggest weekend in Action Network history, Patrick Keane, CEO of Action Network. We look forward to providing our unique sports betting insights, data and content to the New York Post readers as they decide on placing wagers with sportsbooks."

According to provider of regulatory intelligence for the gaming industry Vixio, the US sports betting market is expected to grow from a Gross Gaming Revenue of about $2.5 billion in 2021 to nearly $5.8 billion by 2023, while by 2030 it is expected to exceed $40 billion GGR.

This expected exponential growth presents an opportunity for Better Collective. By 2022, the company expects that its revenue from the US will exceed $100 million. With the continued regulation of states and the addition of new operators, it expects growth to continue for years to come.

The commercial relationship with the New York Post is set to provide Better Collective and Action Network with an additional marketing channel to operate, market and manage customer contacts to the betting operators within the country.

The company entered its first media partnerships in 2019, and has since refined the concept to reach breakthroughs in performance, as well as the addition of three new partnerships last year. In the case of this new one, the details of the financial terms are to remain undisclosed, states the company, and Better Collective will be responsible for the monetization of the joint business and will hold and own accounts with the betting operators.

We are looking forward to bringing better sports betting content and utility to the best sports fans to continue our commitment to deliver unrivaled sports coverage, said Brad Elders, COO of the New York Post. Better Collectives innovative tools and informative content will provide our fans with the best resources to navigate sports betting with ease.

The partnership agreement is expected to be operational from January 21, 2022. The financial impact will be included in the financial targets for 2022 that will be published in connection with the companys Full Year Report for 2021, according to a press statement.
