Eighteen years ago, a former Microsoft engineer was tuned in to the changing landscape of sports broadcasting rights and the opportunity to guide sports fans through the expanding maze. That bit of prescience prompted Mark Phillip to create Are You Watching This?! which today provides real-time data for professional and U.S. college sports around the world. In 2019, after the overturning of the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act (PASPA) to legalize expanded sports betting in the U.S. of A., Phillip founded MetaBet to deliver sports wagering technology to media companies. On a new episode of the Gaming News Canada Show presented by GBG Plc, Phillip spoke with host Steve McAllister about the growth of both companies – and also his I Can't Find The Game! brand – and both the challenges and opportunities in an ever-expanding media rights world that this season added NHL games on Prime Video in Canada, and speculation on what the NHL broadcasting landscape will look like in our home and native land when the Rogers deal expires in 2026.

The demand for sports betting has existed for decades in the United States, but it has traditionally been confined to the black market and Nevada, the only state where sports betting is legal. That all changed on May 14, 2018, when the U.S. Supreme Court overturned the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act (PASPA), effectively legalizing sports betting in the United States – as long as a state government allows for it. The removal of regulations have opened up a new market (and created a huge opportunity) for online gaming companies like DraftKings. Jason Robins, CEO of DraftKings, joins the podcast to talk about the evolution of his company and why a deep understanding of customers is the key to leading in the new era of legalized sports betting. Listen to this podcast episode to learn: • How DraftKings is managing its transformation from a daily fantasy sports provider to a sports betting and online gaming company • How the culture, regulations, and attitudes around sports betting have changed in the United States • Why the most impactful insights emerge from a combination of listening to customers and data analysis • How legalizing a market that was once in the shadows helps create more transparency and responsible practices • The business value of “not being fully prepared,” and why entrepreneurs should expect to waste their first marketing dollars • What lies ahead for DraftKings and the industry
Football season just got a lot more interesting. . . Aaron Freiwald, Managing Partner of Freiwald Law and host of the weekly podcast, Good Law | Bad Law, is joined by Chris Soriano, a gaming law attorney for Duane Morris in New Jersey, to discuss the recent Supreme Court decision that in effect legalized sports betting across the country and the implications this decision may have for the future of gambling, as well as professional sports. In today’s episode, Chris and Aaron sit down to discuss the Supreme Court’s recent overturning of the 1992 Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act (PASPA), which led to a near-total outlawing of sports betting. Chris outlines the history of the gaming industry through the late 1980s and early 1990s and explains the atmosphere that led up to the 1992 PASPA law. He explains that the feelings surrounding the 1992 act are still prevalent today and that those feelings may influence the future of professional sports and gambling. Aaron and Chris talk about the history of gambling (and the 15 billion dollar black market economy in betting), the various arguments surrounding the legalization of gambling (in betting there are always winners and losers), and look down the road to discuss just how far reaching this decision could be. Chris says that his interest in the area of gaming started relatively early as he grew up in New Jersey by the racetracks. As a new attorney, he found himself working on a big gaming law project at the start of his career that introduced him to this specialized area of the law. Chris has been with Duane Morris in the New Jersey office for the last nine years. What is the significance of this decision? And what does it mean for the future of gambling? Aaron and Chris delve into all of this and much more. Listen in now!

The U.S. Supreme Court ruling in favor of New Jersey effectively killed the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act (PASPA), the federal law that essentially limited sports betting to one state for the last 25 years. PASPA was declared unconstitutional in the 6-3 decision, meaning it will be up to states to decide whether to allow its residents to bet on sports. We discuss what this means for the general population and the potential impact it may have on amateurism in sports.
Today's episode takes a deep dive into two important Supreme Court opinions decided last week: McCoy v. Louisiana, which prohibits attorneys from conceding their client's guilt over that client's objections in a capital murder trial, and Murphy v. NCAA, which struck down the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act (PASPA), 28 U.S. Code § 3701 et seq. In both cases, we hope to show that these cases have two legitimate sides. We begin, of course, with sportsball. What is PASPA, why did the Court strike it down, does it make sense, and most importantly: when can you bet against the San Jose Sharks? In the main segment, we break down the difficult questions surrounding the representation of capital murder defendants. After that, we head back overseas with a really insightful listener comment that takes us deeper into the law of treaties. Finally, we end with the answer to Thomas Takes the Bar Exam Question #76 about present recollection refreshed.

Nixon, 543 U.S. 175 (2004). We discussed treaty obligations in Episode 173.

In a Special Edition of the Matchbook Betting Podcast, Matchbook’s Jesse May, EGR’s Brad Allen, and Todd Fuhrman - US sports betting expert and former odds compiler at Caesars Palace, Las Vegas - join host Emmet Kennedy to discuss Monday’s ruling from the Supreme Court of the United States to repeal the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act (PASPA).
Monday was a historic day in the sports betting community as the United States Supreme Court ruled 6-3 in favor of striking down the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act (PASPA) of 1992. That means the states are now free to offer legal sports betting. For the full rundown regarding both the fallout and what to expect next, @JoeFortenbaugh turns to ESPN's David Purdum for the scoop. [0:00-1:28]: The Rundown [1:29-11:43]: History is made with David Purdum [11:44-goodbye]: Final notes Guest: @DavidPurdum
The Court’s decision in New York v. United States, 505 U.S. 144 (1992), held that the Constitution’s fundamental federal structure does not permit Congress to “directly . . . compel the States to require or prohibit [certain] acts.” In September 2013, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit upheld the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act (“PASPA”), 28 U.S.C. § 3701 et seq., against a constitutional challenge under New York by construing PASPA’s proscription against States “authoriz[ing]” sports wagering “by law” narrowly to prohibit only the “affirmative ‘authorization by law’ of gambling schemes,” and not repeals by States of exist- ing sports wagering prohibitions. After New Jersey then proceeded to repeal certain of its prohibitions on sports wagering in specified venues in the State, the en banc court reversed course and interpreted PASPA as making it “unlawful” for New Jersey to repeal its prohibitions and affirmed an injunction that requires the State to reinstate the repealed state-law prohibitions. The court then held that it was constitutional for federal law to dictate the extent to which States must maintain their prohibitions on sports wagering. The question presented is: Does a federal statute that prohibits modification or repeal of state-law prohibitions on private conduct impermissibly commandeer the regulatory power of States in contravention of New York v. United States, 505 U.S. 144 (1992)?
