What we’re watching
Week of September 24-30
All attention this week will be focused on Capitol Hill. That’s where a House Judiciary subcommittee will hold the first Congressional hearing on sports betting following the May repeal of PASPA. The witness list for the hearing is interesting, to say the least. We’ll have full live coverage at LSR.
As the final week of September approaches, we prepare for the first full month of NFL and college football betting from the four states new to sports wagering in 2018. We confirmed last week (to the surprise of no one) that Mississippi likes its football in the first revenue report from the Magnolia State. Five weekends of SEC football should lead to a big sports betting month in the South.
As always, keep an eye on the Legal Sports Report Twitter feed for the latest.

LSR: Focus Areas
LegalSportsReport covers a variety of topics that intersect with online sports betting. But we focus on a few primary areas of coverage, areas that make up the bulk of the content on LSR.
Daily Fantasy Sports
LegalSportsReport began as a site aimed at analyzing the daily fantasy sports industry in the United States, and that's where much of our focus remains today. We are especially interested in the legal and legislative conversations surrounding DFS, and also in the underlying economics of the daily fantasy sports industry. Additionally, we cover general industry developments, including product innovations, marketing trends, and related topics.
Regulated / Legal U.S. Sports Betting
Closely connected to the issue of daily fantasy sports is the issue of regulated sports betting in the United States. On May 14, 2018, the US Supreme Court struck down the 1992 law (PASPA) that made sports betting illegal everywhere except Nevada. This means that sports betting is now in the hands of states to regulate and/or prohibit. The topic of legal sports betting is arising in more and more states, developments that we'll be watching closely as they unfold over the coming months.
The Global Sports Betting Market
In many ways, the global sports online betting market, led by operators like bet365, provides a template for the market that is likely to eventually evolve for sports betting in the United States. And many of the companies that dominate the international sports betting market - such as William Hill - are poised to become key players in the US sports betting market should the market become legal and regulated.
