A judge has prevented the federal government from rescinding its reservation designation for a Native American tribe’s land in Massachusetts, protecting the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe's desire to build the First Light Resort & Casino in Taunton, Southern Massachusetts.
Te fate of the tribe's land in trust could also have a significant impact on the state's commercial casino industry. Te Massachusetts Gaming Commission is looking at issuing a license for a commercial casino in Region C — the commission's name for Bristol, Plymouth, Barnstable, Dukes and Nantucket counties — but some worry that commercial casino operators might not be willing to invest the minimum $500m in a project that would have to compete with a nearby tribal casino.

Betfred USA Sports, the US subsidiary of UK-based Betfred Group, is preparing to launch its second US sportsbook at Saratoga Casino in Black Hawk, Colorado.
Te company also announced the signing of a multi-year sponsorship agreement to become an official partner of the Denver Broncos. Te agreement includes plans for a sports betting lounge outside Empower Field at Mile High where fans can visit pre-game to receive assistance on placing bets with the Betfred digital app and view live odds in addition to other marketing opportunities in digital, print, radio, TV.

Te bill would prevent the federal government from being able to revoke “the status of land held in trust” or a reservation proclamation, as well prevent the government from being able to “rescind a record of decision on which a trust status or reservation proclamation” is established.
Te United States District Court for the District of Columbia rendered a decision in favour of the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe in the case of Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe v. Bernhardt. In its opinion, Judge Paul L. Friedman ruled: “Te Court will grant the Mashpee Tribe’s motion for summary judgment and deny the federal defendants’ and defendant-intervenors’ motions for summary judgment. Furthermore, because the Secretary of the Interior’s September 7, 2018 Record of Decision is arbitrary, capricious, an abuse of discretion, and contrary to law, the Court remands the matter to the Secretary of the Interior for a thorough re- evaluation of the evidence.”
Hawk. We knew we needed to be aggressive upon entering the Colorado market with a Vegas- quality sportsbook and a sponsorship agreement with the Denver Broncos, one of the premier franchises in US sports.

"Betfred's combination of a physical sportsbook at Saratoga Casino, extensive retail offerings in Europe and an upcoming online offering make them an organisation we think Broncos fans will enjoy engaging with," Broncos Chief Commercial Officer Mac Freeman said. "Tey are relatively new to Colorado and are enthusiastic to be a part of gameday at Empower Field at Mile High. Trough a tailgate activation featuring a gaming lounge adjacent to Sports Legends Mall, we will be able to provide our fans with a new and exciting onsite experience at our stadium."
