How Sports Leagues Are Going to Try to Get Paid on Legal Sports Betting
Dan Etna was quoted in SB Nation, discussing how sports leagues are attempting to profit from legal sports betting through integrity fees. The leagues argue that the legalization of sports betting will require them to spend more money on monitoring to ensure the integrity of their games. Etna said, “I understand that there is a need for some heightened integrity. But on the other hand, let’s not kid ourselves. This is just a new, fertile revenue source for them to tap into. You can’t convince me otherwise.”
