Ep 416: Sports betting under the federal spotlight in contentious hearing
In this episode of iGaming Daily, supported by Optimove, Jessica Welman, Editor of SBC Americas, is joined by SBC’s Media Manager, Charlie Horner, to recap a contentious hearing about sports betting held by the Senate Judiciary Committee.
The duo dissect the purpose of the hearing, the lack of representation from the industry at the conference and how it broke down into a heated interaction between NCAA President Charlie Baker and lawmakers about the participation of trans athletes in college sports.
They also discuss the pressing issue of athlete harassment by sports bettors, the legal challenges of banning college player prop bets and consider if the hearing’s outcomes will lead to any immediate legislative action.
