It’s information overload everywhere, and there’s not time enough to sleep and eat and stay fully apprised of what’s happening on this crazy blue dot of ours (two out of three ain’t bad). Here’s the weekend Sports Handle item, “Get a Grip,” recapping the week’s top U.S. sports betting stories, highlighting some fresh news, and rounding up key stories.

Top stories around our network this week 2rf50

It’s PASPA decision made the activity possible in states other than Nevada.

Not everyone has the same sense of urgency or efficiency in acting on such things. In Massachusetts, regulators have around the time of the 2023 Super Bowl — if even then — before the first digital wager is possible.

Of course, new state launches aren’t the only thing our staff cares about, though those are certainly a top priority. Here’s a range of other topics covered on our sites in recent days.

DOI defends approval of Seminole compact 6i184x

The U.S. Department of the Interior filed an appellate court brief Wednesday affirming that it still believes it was correct in approving a compact between the state of Florida and the Seminole Tribe. The compact, approved by Florida lawmakers in May 2021, would give the Seminoles a monopoly on digital and retail sports betting in the state.

A pair of Florida parimutuels sued the DOI last year, claiming that the compact was illegal, and a U.S. District Court judge agreed. The case was appealed and is now moving forward in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit

In the brief, DOI lawyers wrote that DOI Secretary Deb Haaland has no responsibility or authority to “disapprove a compact that validly authorizes gaming on Indian lands simply because the compact also contemplates that the state will enact legislation permitting persons outside Indian lands to participate in that gaming.” The DOI previously wrote that the district court had “erred” in calling the compact illegal, and the Seminole Tribe filed its own brief this week contending it should be allowed to participate in the lawsuit despite a district court judge’s previous denial.

Maine bettors have to wait until 2023 3j2p4l

Maine’s new sports betting law, which will give the state’s four tribes exclusivity over digital gaming, went into effect on Aug. 2, but don’t expect live wagering until sometime in 2023.

Milt Champion, head of the Maine Gambling Control Unit, has said since the law was ed in May that it would take his group at least a year to get things up and running. Maine legalized before Massachusetts and Kansas in 2022, but it will likely take longer to begin offering live wagering than the other two states.

Champion said he expects proposed rules in Maine to be complete and ready for public comment in January. The process to finalize them could then take several months. From there, operators will need to apply for licenses, and that application process takes an average of 90 days in most states.

The latest skirmishing from California … 2p5y64

Backers of California’s Proposition 27, the statewide mobile wagering ballot initiative, released their latest ad Wednesday — this one comparing Prop 27 to Proposition 26, the tribal-backed, retail-only initiative also on the November ballot. Here’s a look:

Also this week, opponents of Proposition 26 announced they had been ed by animal rights groups, two more cities, the San Joaquin County Democratic Central Committee, and the San Juan Capistrano Chamber of Commerce. Opponents say Proposition 26 would allow tribal casinos to “weaponize the Private Attorneys General Act (PAGA) so it can be used against tribal casino operators’ legally-operating competition.”

Pokagon Band expands South Bend casino 235a4x

The Pokagon Band of Potawatomi Indians had a ribbon-cutting ceremony to unveil the expanded gaming floor of the tribe’s Four Winds Casino in South Bend, Indiana. The gaming space now spans nearly 100,000 square feet and contains more than 1,900 slots, 27 table games, a retail sportsbook, and new amenities including a high-limit area and additional cashier cage.

Construction continues on a 23-story hotel tower that will have 83 suites among its 317 rooms, along with a spa, convention area, ballroom, and outdoor swimming pool. The hotel expansion is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2023. The Pokagon Band reached an agreement with the state of Indiana in April 2021 to expand its compact to include Class III Gaming, which includes table games and retail sports wagering.

Entain hit with record penalty in UK 3zm46

U.K.-based gaming conglomerate Entain agreed to a record £17 million settlement with British gaming authorities Wednesday to resolve longstanding money laundering and social responsibility allegations. The charges could result in the loss of Entain’s gaming license in the U.K., The Guardian reported.

The most serious allegations stem from a series of regulatory failures surrounding inadequate risk assessments of the company’s online business for money laundering and terrorist financing, according to the U.K. Gambling Commission. The commission also cited numerous Source of Funds inadequacies with Entain’s customer checks over a 12-month period through October 2020. Moreover, the company failed to conduct enhanced customer due diligence checks in a timely fashion on several occasions, the commission found.

In a statement released Wednesday, Entain said the settlement was reached to bring the matter to a close and to avoid BetMGM, a t online gaming venture with MGM Resorts.

Sands mulling NYC casino options 3w2v3h

At this week’s Racing and Gaming Conference at Saratoga, former New York Gov. David Paterson told Sports Handle that discussions between Las Vegas Sands and New York Mets owner Steve Cohen about a downstate casino licensing bid at Citi Field have not advanced past the initial stages.

Paterson, now a senior vice president and senior advisor at Sands, described the Willets Point area as an attractive site because of the flow of traffic in and out of Mets games. He noted the site has pushback, however, from several “radical legislators” in the district. In a conference discussion, New York real estate state developer Jeff Gural pointed to Citi Field as a favorite to land one of three casino licenses.

“Jeff said it’s the most attractive location. I’m not sure that’s the case,” Paterson said. He added that Sands has also met with potential developers in the Bronx and Coney Island.

Asked at Tues' @rgcsaratoga conference on the odds that Sands will land one of 3 coveted downstate NY casino licenses, former @NYGovPaterson55 responded: "I can't bet on that because I'm trying to make it happen." Paterson serves as a senior advisor for @LasVegasSands pic.twitter.com/9cjA49ilTt

Virginia, Massachusetts report casino revenue 27163m

The Hard Rock, which opened its temporary venue on July 8, generated $11.7 million in adjusted gross revenue from slots and table games last month, from which $2.1 million in taxes were paid to the Gaming Proceeds Fund.

In Massachusetts, the gaming commission reported that Plainridge Park Casino, MGM Springfield, and Encore Boston Harbor generated $99 million in gross gaming revenue in July. The state collected $27.7 million in tax revenue from casinos during the month, and Massachusetts has collected approximately $1.2 billion in taxes from the three casinos since they opened. This delay has frustrated many following legal sports betting in Massachusetts, who had hoped for quicker implementation.
