WYNN Legislative Bodies Adapt a New Approach to Online Betting Regulation

NEW YORK, March 16, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Last year was crucial for the development of the legal infrastructure for sports betting, and 2021 is shaping up to be no less impactful. Nineteen states will decide whether to legalize sports betting services this year, either through voter referendums or state legislature statutes. According to a report by CNBC, if all nineteen states vote yes, that will more than double the number of states where sports betting is already legal. "This is a big year," said DraftKings CEO Jason Robins in an interview. "We've got about 20 states set to vote on legalization. What percentage of those decide yes - that'll swing things either in a positive or negative direction for us." A major variable that states are expected to take into consideration is the potential tax revenue which will be generated if the legalizations prevail. FansUnite Entertainment Inc.

Last year, three states had measures on the ballot to legalize sports betting: Maryland, Louisiana and South Dakota. All voted yes. And before the election, Tennessee sports betting became effective. However, the law stipulates that 80% of the tax revenue raised from sports betting in Tennessee will go to help fund education; 15% will be allotted for local government infrastructure projects, and 5% will go towards improving mental health in the state, according to a report by the Martinsville Bulletin.

FansUnite Entertainment Inc. FUNFF FANS announced earlier this month breaking news that, "its subsidiaries, Askott Entertainment (Malta) Limited and E.G.G. Ltd., have filed applications for both Business-to-Business ("B2B") and Business-to-Consumer ("B2C") gambling licenses, respectively with the U.K. Gambling Commission ("Gambling Commission").

The U.K. Gambling Commission was set up under the Gambling Act 2005 to regulate commercial gambling in Great Britain in partnership with licensing authorities.

As part of FansUnite's expansion strategy, the Company has applied for a remote gambling software license, which will unlock its suite of betting products to operators in the U.K. online gambling market. In addition, EGG Ltd. has applied for a remote betting license which will permit it to deploy its B2C wagering platforms in the United Kingdom.

These applications represent a critical step for FansUnite to expand its operations to the U.K., a jurisdiction that is considered to be one of the largest gambling markets in the world.

'The U.K. gambling licenses are widely regarded as the gold standard for lawful gaming operations and we are pleased to have formally submitted our application with the commission,' said Scott Burton, Chief Executive Officer of FansUnite. 'The first step to our expansion in the U.K. is to obtain the relevant licenses from the country's Gambling Commission, which will allow us to license our betting solutions as well as operate our B2C betting platforms in the United Kingdom. By doing so, we will be in a position to advance our operations to capture market share in one of the most lucrative online betting markets in the world.'"

Churchill Downs Incorporated CHDN announced on January 5th, it will move to a single brand strategy for its online wagering segment by rebranding the Company's sportsbook and iGaming platform as TwinSpires.  "Our TwinSpires brand has consistently delivered over 13 years and is associated with more than a century of wagering experience.

"We remain focused on building a profitable sports betting and iGaming business that provides our customers with an integrated experience alongside our horse racing wagering platform.
