Wagr, a mobile-first platform, focuses on removing the intricacies of traditional sports betting and making it easy and accessible for groups of friends. Users can still bet on games but can do so in a more casual context, similar to how they might slap a twenty-dollar bill on the table during a game.

According to the Massachusetts Gaming Commission (MGC), verified online sportsbooks reported a betting handle in excess of $548 million in March. Notably, online sports betting only launched on March 10, meaning that just over 32% of the month’s days didn’t count towards the first-month online handle.

The Coalition for Responsible Sports Betting Advertising consists of the NFL, MLB, MLS, NASCAR, NBA, WNBA, NHL, NBCUniversal and FOX. It was formed to help keep sports betting marketing on a path of integrity as the industry continues to grow exponentially.

PointsBet had been in talks with Australian company Betr (not to be confused with micro-betting platform Betr, co-founded by Jake Paul) in late-2022 but was unable to reach a sale. It now hits the open market as the seventh-largest legal sports betting outfit in the states.

Gulluni revealed that the aggressor was a 48-year-old male named William Tisdol from Hartford, Connecticut, less than a half-hour away from MGM Springfield. The deadly confrontation occurred on February 25 and came to a halt roughly one block away from the casino.

The company is said to have spoken with global investment bank Moelis & Co. to discuss how it would go about removing its presence in the USA and Canada. The company has blossomed in Australia, where it was founded, but has struggled to make a breakthrough in the highly-competitive NA region.

New York, Maryland, and Washington D.C. revealed massive betting handles for the month of March that exceeded their previous record highs. New York, the nation’s leader in online sports betting, produced $230 million in revenue from casinos and legal and online sports betting sites.

The woman not only visited the casino after her diagnosis but used a public bus to travel to it. She remains in involuntary detention, testing and treatment at the Pierce County Jail after Judge Philip Sorenson authorized her arrest.

The Massachusetts Gaming Commission (MGC) refused to grant access for DraftKings to add the 26.2-mile race’s odds under the “special events” category. Betting on the famous test of endurance has never been an option in its host state in the past.

Betr, co-owned by industry veteran Joey Levy and internet superstar-turned-boxer Jake Paul, originally launched as a substitute for regular online sportsbooks. Instead of betting on which team would win a game or the final score, players could guess small outcomes such as the result of the next shot, pitch, or play.
