About Legal Sports Report
Who we are
Launched in 2014, Legal Sports Report is the leading authority for news in the legal, regulated US sports betting and daily fantasy sports industries. Often cited by top news publications, LSR began reporting on the industry four years before the US Supreme Court lifted a near-national ban on sports betting. LSR also provides coverage of other sectors of regulated gambling, including the emerging online casino sector.
LSR is an affiliate site, which means we may earn a commission when readers click affiliate links within the website. Our newsroom and revenue teams, however, maintain a strict firewall and the reporting of Legal Sports Report stands fully independent of any business interests of Catena Media.
Our mission
Our commitment to readers is to provide accurate and insightful reporting focused on news and trends as these industries develop in the United States.
Legal Sports Report tracks all aspects of the US sports betting and DFS industries, as well as relevant international developments from Canada, Mexico, UK, Europe, and Latin America.
