IGA executive director confident of California sports betting with tribal help – iGaming Business

Posted: March 29, 2024 at 2:48 am

Jason Giles, executive director of the Indian Gaming Association (IGA), believes there could yet be online sports betting in California, though he also believes the help of tribes is vital to any legalisation.

Another attempt to legalise sports betting in California failed in January after two ballots aiming to grant tribes exclusive rights were scrapped following fierce tribal opposition in the state.

Eagle1 Acquisitions Corp, the group of backers for a proposition to legalise sports betting in California, had made several amendments to its ballot initiative in December in a bid to gain increased tribal support, however the efforts ultimately failed.

In response, the California Nations Indian Gaming Association (CNIGA) stated the failure should serve as a warning against future attempts to legalise sports betting in the state without tribal involvement.

However, Giles believes there could be more success when the next chance to launch a legalisation effort comes around in 2026, pointing to the 2027 Super Bowl in Los Angeles as a key reason to get a sports betting bill over the line before then.

There is most certainly a path to online sports betting in California and it starts with the tribes, Giles told iGB ahead of the Indian Gaming Tradeshow and Convention, set to be hosted at the Anaheim Convention Centre in California between April 8-11. I dont think it is inevitable as some people have said recently, but we are seeing positive signs, such as the decision by FanDuel and DraftKings to engage with us at our tradeshow in Anaheim.

We are not putting a timescale on when tribes will exercise their sovereign authority and look for that path forward with the state, commercial gaming, and the tribal community. It is more important to put measures in place that maintain the sustainability of our communities and the tribal gaming industry.

2023 proved to be a key year in the tribal nations fight for sovereignty in the US as state governments looked to increase their control over Indian country.

Tribes earned a key victory during the summer as a federal appeals court reinstated a compact between the state of Florida and the Seminole Tribe, effectively creating a tribal monopoly in the state for statewide mobile sports betting.

In September, the full US Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia opted against rehearing that case, and the Seminole Tribe relaunched mobile betting in Florida in November with its operator Hard Rock Bet. The Florida Supreme Court then rejected a motion from pari-mutuel betting operator West Flagler Associates to suspend Hard Rock Bet.

Tribes then received another big boost in February 2024 as the Department of the Interior (DOI) announced updated federal regulations, similar to those seen in Florida, that boost the clarity and transparency of Indian gaming compacts.

Giles hailed the impact of the DOIs move, stating: We are pleased that the Biden-Harris administration is demonstrating commitment to Indian country. Were also very hopeful that they will provide a strong platform for business growth.

Indian Country is stronger than ever and will, through our tribal leadership, continue to defend the rights of tribal communities.

The National Indian Gaming Commissions annual report showed revenues in 2022 rose 4.9% to $40.9bn (33.0bn/38.2bn). That $1.9bn year-on-year gain is the highest ever recorded.

Tribal gaming has certainly bounced back from the impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic, setting the sector up for a prosperous future.

Giles is confident tribal gaming will continue to fare well, while outlining it will work with those who respect its values and offer new ideas.

Tribal gaming will remain strong through a robust regulatory framework and by taking a sustainable, long-term approach to the industrys future, Giles added.

Tribal communities are open for business and open to new ideas and innovation. We are looking to work with companies who not only understand Indian Country, but who can bring new ideas and new technologies so that we can continue to offer world-class experiences for customers.

Despite the continued strength of the Indian gaming sector, fears are still lingering over politicians and other commercial gaming interests looking to get in on the tribal success.

For Giles, however, he is steadfast in his confidence that tribal gaming will continue to fend off its competitors, as long as the community works together.

Protection will be at its strongest if tribes remain united against anyone who seeks to undermine tribal sovereignty, Giles continued. The tribal gaming industry is very successful and has built a highly sustainable industry.

That isnt to say that we are not interested in speaking to these companies and their representatives. I firmly believe that a co-operative approach borne out of a respect for our tribal governments and institutions will be beneficial to everyone.

Georgia Sports Betting Legislation Fails Once Again – Winners and Whiners

Posted: at 2:48 am

Its official: Georgia sports betting will have to wait at least one more year.

Once again, the Georgia legislature considered bills that would legalize sports betting in the Peach State. However, the 2024 legislative session ended Thursday without any of those bills making enough progress.

Companion pieces of legislation were approved by the Georgia Senate earlier this year. SB 386 and SR 579 would have authorized a vote on Election Day to authorize changes to the states constitution and bring Georgia sports betting to life.

This two-part initiative was similar in nature to one of several Georgia sports betting ideas bandied about during the 2023 legislative session. At that time, the consideration of multiple bills at once almost certainly stymied the prospects of any of them becoming laws.

However, even with just one idea on the table this time around, the issue was once again tabled. SB 386 and SR 579 were approved by the Georgia House Committee on Higher Education, but did not make it past the House Rules Committee.

That committee had several chances to discuss the bills during its last day of meetings. However, other items took precedent, and legislation to bring the best online sportsbooks to Georgia was left on the cutting room floor.

The next Georgia legislative session convenes in early-2025, after a new batch of elections this November. Its safe to assume Georgia sports betting will once again be a hot topic.

If its outright legalized by the House and Senate in 2025, a launch in late-2025 or early-2026 is likely. However, a scenario involving an Election Day vote seems far more likely. If such a vote is scheduled for November of 2025, legalization wont come until at least mid-2026.

For now, those in Georgia dont have many options. Georgians in the southern part of the state can hop over the border to Florida, which relaunched its sports betting industries in late-2023. However, thats a several-hour drive for residents of major cities such as Atlanta, Macon, and Savannah. Those in Atlanta, in fact, are much closer to Georgias border with Tennessee, another legal sports betting state.

South Carolina, Georgias neighbor to the northeast, is also without legal sports betting. The same can be said for Alabama, to the west. Alabama sports betting legislation was briefly considered as part of a wide-ranging gambling bill, but language pertaining to sportsbooks was removed from the bill early in the process.

Sports gambling has gotten out of control – The Philadelphia Inquirer

First and final thoughts

Maybe Im the wrong guy to write about this topic. I dont bet on sports. Never really have. Ive led a fantasy-football-free life, and I havent played fantasy baseball since high school, back when it was called rotisserie baseball, which for me was a more appropriate term. I was too sentimental in building my rosters, loading up on my favorite players without regard for any analytics, my friends and competitors roasting me as if I were rotating above a hot grill. I stopped filling out March Madness brackets in college, back when I couldnt appreciate the wonderful randomness of the NCAA Tournament. As someone who fancied himself a college hoops quasi-expert, I was just tired of losing pools to people who based their picks on each teams mascot. The Minnesota Golden Gophers vs. the Montana State Bobcats? Im going with MSU, of course. Dont bobcats eat gophers?

READ MORE: Kyle Neptune has to make some changes to resurrect Villanova. The boosters will have to get used to them.

Now that we have that hefty disclaimer out of the way, can we acknowledge that the warm embrace in which professional and college sports now hold gambling is getting more than a little yucky? There have been plenty of concerning anecdotes and stories lately, and those anecdotes and stories are developing into a trend, and that trend doesnt look good because its revealing the potential for and possibility of corruption.

There is Dodgers superstar Shohei Ohtani, who may or may not have wired millions of dollars to a bookmaker to pay off debts that may or may not belong to Ohtanis interpreter. There is the Temple mens basketball team, which was flagged by a gambling watchdog group based on some strange movement on the betting lines of some of the Owls games. There is Cleveland Cavaliers coach J.B. Bickerstaff, who said last week that he has been threatened by gamblers and that he routinely hears fans shouting at him to make in-game decisions that will influence point spreads. There is ESPNs Rece Davis, who capped a gambling segment on College GameDay by saying that one bet was a risk-free investment a line that Davis said later was a joke.

Its not new, of course, to note that gambling has always been a part of sports. Whats new and disconcerting, though, is the speed with which the public stances of these institutions the leagues and the NCAA have gone from Gambling is terrible and immoral to Gambling is awesome and makes us money, but hey youd better watch it. (The same goes for plenty of media that broadcast and cover sports, too.)

Sports betting is legal in more than half the country though not in California, which is part of the alleged problem for Ohtani and Id like to think I have a healthy libertarian streak. But its worth remembering that theres a difference between something being legal and something being good or even reputable. Create an environment where sports betting is not just accepted but encouraged and promoted, and youre going to get what weve seen recently. And its not going to stop. And it will get worse. Sometimes guardrails exist not to stop a particular activity from happening but to temper it, to keep it under some control and maintain moderation, to make sure a useful and appropriate stigma is attached to its abuse. Seems like sports ought to think about rebuilding a few of those guardrails.

The Florida Panthers entered Monday tied for first place in the NHLs Atlantic Division, and they had allowed just 173 goals this season, which is tied for the fewest in the league. Their goaltenders ought to be familiar to hockey fans around here: Sergei Bobrovsky and Anthony Stolarz.

The Flyers signed Bobrovsky as an undrafted free agent in 2010 and picked Stolarz in the second round of the 2012 draft. Now the two of them have combined for a .919 save percentage for a team that reached the Stanley Cup Final last season and might win the Cup this season. When someone cites a general lack of patience as a reason that the Flyers have gone nearly 49 years without a championship, Bobrovsky and Stolarz are just one example of it.

John Tortorella benched his captain and initially sent one of his assistant coaches to explain why. Kim Mulkey, LSUs womens basketball coach, threatened to sue a Washington Post reporter over a story that hasnt been published yet. After the 76ers beat the Clippers on Sunday, James Harden ducked out of Crypto.com Arena before anyone could ask him a question.

Who knew us irrelevant media members could have such tough-talking coaches and athletes quaking in their boots?

Survey finds majority of Canadians want immediate nationwide sports betting ad ban – EGR Global

Posted: at 2:48 am

A new survey has found that 59% of Canadians support an immediate nationwide ban on sports betting advertising.

The survey, conducted by market research firm Maru Public Opinion, found this viewpoint was most likely to be held by those aged over 55, with 64% of the older demographic calling for this immediate ban, compared to 56% of the younger cohort.

This answer was also broken down by region, with those living in Atlantic Canada leading the way at 62%, followed by Quebec/Alberta at 60%, Manitoba/Saskatchewan at 59%, Ontario at 58%, and British Colombia at 56%.

The poll also found that seven in 10 Canadians want current athletes and celebrities banned from gambling advertising, and two-thirds of those surveyed believe ads should not be allowed during live sports broadcasts.

According to Maru, this opinion is likely to be held by males (67%), those aged over 55 (72%), with a university education (69%), and an income above C$100,000 (68%). When compared to other provinces in Canada, those in Atlantic Canada (78%) are most likely to share this viewpoint.

Elsewhere in the survey results, three-quarters of respondents say children and young people should be protected from sports betting adverts, and 72% fear young adults will amass large amounts of debt with the current availability of sports betting in Canada.

Just under two-thirds (62%) of people believe operators are not acting responsibly with their advertising at the moment, and just over half (53%) think there should be more government oversight and regulation of the ads.

One in six people surveyed say they have wagered online on a professional sporting event, with a third being young Canadians compared to 17% of those aged between 35 and 54. In terms of the gender split, 27% of men say they have bet online compared to 7% of women.

Of those who bet, 24% said that betting on sports makes them want to watch more sports.

The findings come from a survey of 1,534 Canadian adults who are Maru Voice Canada online panelists between February 7 and 8.

The legalized market went live in Ontario in April 2022. The latest handle figures released by iGaming Ontario, a subsidiary of the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario, reveal that sports betting accounted for C$3.1bn of Ontarios C$17.2bn handle in Q3 2023.

This 48-year-old dad retired early to move to Panama with his family: ‘This has been the greatest thing’ – Fortune

Posted: at 2:47 am

Before his daughter, Faith, was born in 2010, Jim White was mostly content with his job as an engineering manager at an IT firm in Ohio. He made decent money, owned a home and a rental property with his wife, Lisa, and even enjoyed the work he was doing.

But the week off of work he spent with his newborn daughter crystallized something for White that had been nagging at him for while: He realized as his brief paternity leave ended that he didnt want to miss the time with her that the standard American corporate job all too often encroaches on. The traditional 9-to-5 made him feel trapped, as if his life was just passing him by. He didnt want to spend his best days behind a desk.

It was also around this time he first discovered the FIREfinancial independence, retire earlycommunity online, which helped him realize that his dream of leaving the corporate world decades sooner than the norm wasnt so far-fetched. After extensive conversations with his wife about the possibility of a different kind of life, the Whites soon began saving 60% of their income and planning for an early departure from the workforce.

It took eight years, but White, then 43, was able to pull the plug on his corporate career at the end of 2018. The family sold most of their belongings, their home, and their car, and moved to Panama in 2019. They had fallen in love with the country after a previous vacation there, and spent their days hiking, exploring, and simply spending time together. White had never been happier.

It was beautiful. We were able to spend every day outside, we didnt have a car, it was all those little things, White, now 48, tells Fortune. I got to feel like that was home.

Living costs were lowerthough the family scaled up housing costs to live in a resort community on a golf course for $2,100 a monthand the quality of life was unparalleled, White says. He found a welcoming expat community, walked most places, and enjoyed the crazy cheap local produce. The Whites homeschooled Faith, and spent almost three years just enjoying the quality time together that had first inspired Whites FIRE journey.

Eventually, though, the Whites decided they wanted to be closer to family again, and moved back to Ohio in 2022, taking over an apartment lease for some expat friends they met in Panama. Soon restless again, the trio decided to embark on a nine-month RV trip around the country, with different legs taking them first to Texas, then the Southeast, and finally the West.

This is the second time weve gotten rid of everything, says White. Though not every day is a vacationthe family has come to realize they are not long-term RV people, given the space constraintshe has no regrets. This has been the greatest thing.

Whites life may sound idyllic, but, of course, very few people are able to retire early. Many members of the FIRE community are in high-paying fields like tech, medicine, finance, or lawsome of the wealthiest workers in the U.S. White had the added bonus of living in Ohio, which has a relatively low cost of living, and both he and his spouse were committed to living frugally.

White began his career working part-time at an IT firm in the 1990s for $25,000 per year. He stayed at that company his entire career, working his way up to engineering manager. The salary wasnt bad for the time, he says, especially considering he was still wrapping up college when he landed the job. It also helped him with a different financial undertaking: Paying off the $30,000 in credit card debt he had accrued in school. I regret the debt, he says. But at the same time, it was a lesson and I learned from it.

White also benefitted from some smart real estate plays. He bought an investment property in the early 2000s, which he rented rented out for a few years and then sold in 2018 (that said, White has also catalogued the downsides of owning rental propertiesits not all profit). They also sold their primary residence before their move to Panama.

Still, the family made plenty of sacrifices and relied on fairly standard strategies to accrue wealth (most of his investments, for example, are in low-cost index funds). He and his wife have always been frugal, he says. That helped when they had to shed most of their belongings during their first move to Panama.

Theres only so much you can cut back on. And you get to a point where youre as optimized as you can be, for the most part, he says. We spent our time putting 60% of our money away and waiting to reach our number. Its kind of frustrating, because you know your end goal but there isnt a feasible way to get there earlier. Its not an easy thing to do, but the end can be so rewarding.

White has tracked his FIRE journey on his blog, Route to Retire, since 2015. There, he displays his net worthcurrently over $1.6 millionbudget, and the ups and downs of early retiree life for all to see.

He has no plans to go back to the traditional corporate world. If he ever needs a jobmostly to have something to do, not just to earn moneyhe said he could go part-time at Costco or Walmartsomewhere fun.

In the meantime, he plans to keep trying different thingsthe best gift early retirement has given him.

I decided randomly to climb an active volcano in Panama. That was so out of my realm, but I got it done, he says. I used to think people who ran marathons was crazy, but theres such a sense of accomplishment, its wonderful. You have to try it. Youre not going to love everything, but its the only way to enjoy life and find what you do love.

More than just housewives: Ministry encourages women to embrace leadership, financial independence – Sinar Daily

Posted: at 2:47 am

SHAH ALAM Women, Family and Community Development Minister Datuk Seri Nancy Shukri encourages women to create their own opportunities, achieve financial independence, and take on leadership roles.

She said it was important to nurture a culture where women feel empowered to express themselves, undergo leadership training and acknowledge their remarkable abilities across all domains.

Citing the gender disparity in the job market, she said that men comprised 81 per cent compared to women which stood at 56.2 per cent.

She stressed that women were not seeking competition with men but strived to close the gender gap.

"I always emphasise this point (closing the gender gap) because women typically prioritise their families, often choosing not to work. There is a need for training to empower them.

How do we address this gap in terms of fostering leadership among women and within families and communities? My goal is to provide them with the necessary training and support to become confident leaders.

I encourage them to voice their opinions and take on leadership roles, she said.

Despite initial apprehension from the women, Nancy said she witnessed the women were willing to step up to speak even if they were nervous, which was commendable.

"I believe in acknowledging and applauding their courage when they overcome their fears to speak up.

This is an essential aspect of leadership that requires nurturing and encouragement." She said when met recently.

Nancy also highlighted the significant number of women in rural areas who considered it their duty to care for their families but only deemed themselves as mere housewives.

Disputing this notion, Nancy emphasised the vital role of housewives, noting that their responsibilities started from the moment they woke up until they slept, without compensation.

She pointed out that many were either underpaid or unpaid, despite the essential nature of their work.

She said her organisation's goal of empowering women to earn their livelihoods and stressed her longstanding commitment to this and this was one of the reasons why she had been fought for it ever since she was in a non-governmental organisation (NGO).

While volunteering for the NGO, she faced financial constraints and had to seek assistance from agencies to identify target groups.

When determining whom to train, the focus was on women and she readily offered the organisation's female members for such programmes.

She stressed by taking on leadership roles, women could inspire admiration within their families, motivating younger relatives to aspire to similar achievements in the future.

"I aim to instil a spirit of empowerment among women, urging them to embrace roles beyond just being women, including those of mothers and wives.

"Some men may belittle their wives due to their dependency and it is something we strive to change," she added.

Nancy urged husbands to show respect towards their wives and at the same time encouraged women to be financially independent, asserting that this independence commands respect from both spouses and sets an example for their children.

Additionally, Nancy highlighted the importance of addressing economic and security issues alongside leadership development programmes for women.

She said their efforts in organising economic initiatives, aimed to stress the significance of women's participation in the workforce, which doesn't necessarily entail leaving their homes.

Under the ministry, various programmes such as Wanita Bangkit, Two-Year Exit Program, Mama Care, and NGO initiatives like Skuad Waja are implemented to support women's development.

Supreme Court must rely on the First Amendment, not its own precedent, when deciding government censorship case – Washington Examiner

Posted: at 2:47 am

The justices of the Supreme Court never focused on the First Amendments words when hearing arguments in Murthy v. Missouri last week.

The case challenges the federal governments orchestration of social media censorship, so one might have expected the justices to pay some attention to the First Amendment itself. Instead, the court relied on its own weak doctrines that invited the censorship in the first place.

The First Amendment makes a crucial distinction between abridging and prohibiting. But theres a danger the court, in this case, will ignore this and instead reinforce its erroneous coercion standard. If thats what the court does, it will give the executive branch the green light to persist in the most far-reaching censorship in the nations history.

The coercion doctrine, established in Blum v. Yaretksy, suggests that when the government uses private entities to censor Americans, a complaining party must show that the government coercively converted the private censorship into government censorship. This doctrine has invited the government to think it may use social media platforms to suppress the public, as long as it isnt too obviously coercive against the platforms. Government coercion thus gets elevated as the archetypical measure of censorship (its not), and less than coercive privatized censorship gets legitimized (it shouldnt).

Nonetheless, the court seemed to take the Blum framework for granted. The justices spent much time asking when the government could persuade newspapers to drop their news stories, even though this case had nothing to do with that. The government never asked the suppressed scientists and doctors whether they would be willing to forbear from publishing. Instead, the government used the social media platforms to shut down the speech of the individuals, who were never consulted. Still, most of the justices seemed to assume, in line with Blum, that as long as the government didnt coerce the platforms, no censorship occurred.

The First Amendment, however, rejects the coercion test. It bars the government from abridging, or reducing, the freedom of speech. That standard stands in sharp contrast to the amendments bar against prohibiting the free exercise of religion. The amendment thus clearly rejects a coercing or prohibiting measure of government censorship in favor of a more sensitive inquiry as to whether the government abridged that is, diminished the freedom of speech.

This point about abridging was part of the plaintiffs argument. The brief of Missouri, Louisiana, and the individual plaintiffs urged the court to revisit Blum and other such cases, on the ground that their artificially narrow conception of state action . weakens the freedom of speech. In contrast, the First Amendment capaciously protects the freedom of speech from any abridging (i.e., diminishing) of that freedom.

This, the Constitutions measure of freedom of speech, clearly bars the government from working with social media to set parameters on public debate. Yet under the Blum coercion standard, thats exactly what the government has been doing orchestrating social media to bar evidence and opinion that dissents from the official narrative and questions official policy.

Even cursory attention to the First Amendment would have offered a profound corrective to this coercion doctrine the doctrine that invites the censorship. The justices, however, appeared to leave the First Amendment aside.

This failure even to quote the First Amendment is especially troublesome because of the judicial barriers that tend to leave the public without an effective remedy for censorship. The courts qualified immunity doctrine leaves people with little chance of getting damages for past censorship, and its standards for obtaining an injunction leave them with difficulty securing a remedy against future censorship, as the government can simply declare that theres little reason to think the censorship against the plaintiffs will recur.

So, the government can censor one American after another, seriatim, without consequence.

FIRST AMENDMENT VIOLATION?: Man removed from Cape council meeting files lawsuit – FOX 4 News Fort Myers WFTX

Posted: at 2:47 am

CAPE CORAL, Fla. A man removed from a Cape Coral City Council meeting has filed a lawsuit against the City of Cape Coral and its city council members.

Last October, the Cape Coral Police Department removed Scott Kempe from a Committee of the Whole meeting following a heated argument over the new design of Jaycee Park.

Kempe refused to sit down during the discussion of the design - and kept his back to the council.

After being asked by Cape Coral Mayor John Gunter to turn around, the mayor asked police to take him out of the room.

The lawsuit going on to say that though Lee County prosecutors properly dismissed Kempe's arrest, the council continued to assert that they could ban him from attending future council meetings and amended council rules to ban others from meetings in future meeting - a violation of the First Amendment, Kempe's team argues.

As part of our previous reporting, the city provided a statement to FOX 4 as a spokesperson said it was within their legal right to remove Scott Kempe from the workshop.

Below is the full statement:

Therefore, an individuals refusal to comply with the City Council Rules will give rise to that person being escorted from the City Council Meeting Chambers by the Cape Coral Police Department.

Kempe has filed preliminary injunction to stop the City of Cape Coral and Cape Coral City Council from continuing to enforce rules banning members of the public from future open meetings based upon past conduct.

He is also seeking the following:

a. Compensatory damages; b. Appropriate injunctive relief c. Declaratory judgment d. Invalidation of official acts taken in violation of Florida law e. Interest f. Nominal damages g. Attorney fees h. Costs and expenses; and i. All other relief this Court deems proper.
