The Seminole Tribe of Florida scored another victory in its legal fight over offering sports betting in the Sunshine State. On Monday, a federal appeals court denied a request from pari-mutuel owners for a rehearing after a ruling that upheld a multibillion-dollar deal giving the tribe control over sports wagering throughout the state, which could clear the path for Hard Rock Bet to launch in Florida soon.
As per the appellate court rules, this decision becomes effective eight days after being handed down, making September 19 the earliest launch date for Hard Rock Bet's sports betting platform.
The tribe has been eagerly awaiting the opportunity to relaunch in its home state since it went live briefly in 2021. Hard Rock's sports betting platform was live for just over a month before being forced to shut it down due to a court order. (.....)

Good morning, I hope you have had a good vacation, the OTC is on its way to a 3-year decline, nothing is perpetual, I hope we will soon have a new change in trend, any green shoots?
I wonder why WNRS in the last few months has only increased some millions (about 5 aprox) in Restricted shares...
And there is no more information about the RS, will it be a tactic to keep the price low?

I cannot understand the reason for the R/S, WNRS is a company that is not diluting in any way, it only has 120 million FLOAT, it capitalizes only €200,000
Do you want to go public on the NASDAQ or a higher market?
WNRS is in a very good position within the sports betting sector, the directors and CEOs are great businessmen, I don't think they want to commit a scam to screw over the few remaining shareholders

Five Years After The Sports Betting Ban Is Lifted, Americans Have Come Around to The Idea
Five years ago, in May of 2018, The Supreme Court lifted the federal ban on sports betting by repealing PASPA — also known as the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act.
Since doing so, 33 states and Washington D.C. have legalized sports betting along with four others having legalized but not yet launching. As sports betting legislation continues to proliferate, a large majority of US citizens say they are in favor of its expansion.
85% Say ‘Yes’ To PAPSA-Repeal
The American Gaming Association (AGA) conducted research to commemorate the five-year mark of legal sports betting, and their findings showed huge industry growth compared to their one-year report. They interviewed 1,066 American adults (21+) and 1,005 people who have placed a sports bet in the last 12 months.
According to their research, 85% of American adults agree with the decision to overturn PAPSA in 2018. This is up over 20% from 2019’s report which showed only 63% agreed. 77% of respondents support legalization in their state, specifically.
Others, namely those who aren’t sports and/or gambling fans, are unsure of the legal status of sports betting in their state – 29% of American adults, to be exact. In 2019, 74% of American adults were unsure of the legality of sports betting in their state, reflecting a 45% decrease (or increase in awareness), according to AGA.
As a result, Americans have legally wagered $220 billion since PAPSA was overturned in May 2018. This has generated $3 billion in state and local taxes which fund various programs from education, healthcare, responsible gambling, and more.
The 12-figure number is especially impressive when you consider that the three biggest states (by population number) – California, Texas, and Florida – don’t have legal sports betting markets, despite being home to almost 50 professional sports teams, combined. Were any of them to legalize, there’s no telling how big this number could get.
Regulated Markets: The Rise And Fall
Because of the massive growth of the industry over the last five years, it’s not surprising that the number of people using unregulated, offshore sportsbooks have decreased dramatically. Since 2019, the number of online sports bets placed through regulated operators has increased by 33%. The share of bettors who wager through regulated operators has increased to 78% as well.
While this trends in the right direction in terms of responsible gambling practices, there is still consumer confusion. According to the study, 70% of the bettors who placed bets with illegal operators thought they were betting with a legal operator at least half the time.
According to AGA’s survey which asked consumers what makes them think an illegal sportsbook is regulated, the following were the top reasons:
The online sportsbook is affiliated with a casino in the U.S.
The operator provides a statement that says sports bets placed at their online sportsbook are legal.
The site or its betting lines are mentioned in the media.
Responsible Gambling Awareness Growing Alongside The Industry
Considering the above confusion, the AGA and its partners are putting consumer protection at the forefront of their efforts.
“Five years post-PASPA, the AGA and our members continue to support responsibly expanding the legal market while cracking down on predatory illegal operators,” said AGA President and CEO Bill Miller. “The regulated industry and our partners across the entire ecosystem—policymakers, law enforcement, regulators, leagues, media, technology providers and more—have made significant strides in our collaborative consumer education efforts since 2018, and we will continue to find new ways to enhance consumer protections as the market matures.”
This coincides with a larger industry-wide initiative that includes efforts from several states to thwart misleading advertising in the business. Ohio’s launch in January created a larger conversation when lawmakers prohibited operators from using terms such as “free” and
“risk-free” in their marketing materials. The Ohio Casino Control Commission dished out hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of fines to those who didn’t comply. Massachusetts followed suit when they launched shortly after, enforcing similar restrictions. Now, several operators are banning the term themselves, across all states which they operate in.
And just a few weeks ago, the NFL suspended five different players for sports betting violations – a moment of condemnation despite professional sports leagues’ growing support for the sports betting industry.
