Indiana
Indiana's sportsbooks lost out on nearly $160m in bets in May even as they produced a modest improvement over April, according to PlayIndiana estimates. And while the sports world moves closer to reopening, the shutdown could have more long-ranging effects on Indiana as neighbouring states rush to open up sports betting to shore their budgets. "In the short-term, the path to recovery is relatively straightforward," said Dustin Gouker, lead analyst for
PlayIndiana.com. "Sports must return. Te good news is that the PGA Tour expected to start this weekend and the NBA and other major sports are closer to a return. Te bottom line is that there is now a light at the end of this tunnel." Online sportsbooks produced all of Indiana's $37.3m in bets in May, according to official reporting released Wednesday. Tat was up 41.9 per cent from the record-low $26.3m in April.
CANADA – In a joint statement sent to several key members of the Canadian government, Adam Silver from the National Basketball Association (NBA), Gary Bettman from the National Hockey League (NHL), Rob Manfred from Major League Baseball (MLB), Don Garber from Major League Soccer (MLS), and Randy Ambrosie from the Canadian Football League (CFL) called on the country’s federal laws to be updated to authorise provinces to offer betting on single sporting events.
It stated: "The National Basketball Association, the National Hockey League, Major League Baseball, Major League Soccer, and the Canadian Football League support an amendment to Canada’s federal laws that would authorise provinces to offer betting on single sporting events.
“Sports betting gives fans another exciting way to engage with the sports they love. Because a legal and regulated sports betting market in Canada would be beneficial to sports and their fans, we urge prompt action to make this a reality. Sports betting already happens illegally in Canada; creating a legal framework would shift consumers from illicit, unregulated markets to a legal and safe marketplace. Regulating single-game betting would allow for strong consumer protections as well as safeguards to further protect the integrity of sports."
theScore Founder and CEO John Levy has previously voiced support for proposals by the Ontario provincial government to legalise online gambling in the province, as well as calls to legalise single event sports wagering at the federal level. The Company has also been an active participant in the province’s stakeholder consultation process.
“We strongly support the league commissioners’ calls to promptly amend Canada’s outdated federal laws to provide a safe, regulated, and competitive sports betting environment for fans in this country,” said Levy. “Sports betting is a major part of the fan experience and already takes place in Canada through the unlicensed grey market with offshore operators. For the past two years, the United States has demonstrated the kind of tangible consumer and tax benefits related to regulated sports betting that could be similarly impactful in Canada.”
In September 2019 theScore made history by becoming the first sports media company in North America to create and launch a mobile sportsbook. Currently taking wagers in New Jersey and set to expand into both Indiana and Colorado in the coming months, subject to receiving all licenses and approvals, theScore Bet has been uniquely integrated with theScore’s sports news and scores app to deliver a holistic media and gaming experience.
