Portnoy Reveals Barstool Sports, DraftKings Partnership
Just minutes after the Kansas City Chiefs vanquished the San Francisco 49ers in Super Bowl LVIII on Sunday night, Barstool Sports founder David Portnoy announced a widely speculated upon partnership between his company and DraftKings (NASDAQ: DKNG).
Rumors regarding such a relationship surfaced about three weeks ago, but the two sides were prevented from making it official until after the big game due to Barstool’s noncompete agreement with Penn Entertainment (NASDAQ: PENN). That contract was struck last August when the regional casino operator sold the sports media blog back to Portnoy for a mere $1 after the gaming company reached a sports betting accord with ESPN.
I’m proud to announce that Barstool has signed a multi year monster deal with @DraftKings We’re back to our roots. DK is once again the exclusive sports betting partner of Barstool Sports. The more things change the more they stay the same,” said Portnoy in a social media post with the hashtag “#dkpartner.”
Financial terms of the Barstool/DraftKings agreement weren’t revealed, but it’s believed the arrangement could be worth upwards of $10 million over multiple years to Portnoy’s company.
Barstool, DraftKings Reunited and it Feels So Good
Barstool and DraftKings, both of which are Boston-born companies, worked together a decade ago with the media company serving as a platform for articles and discussion on daily fantasy sports (DFS), which was then DraftKings’ bread and butter.
That was four years before the Supreme Court ruling on the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act (PASPA). That decision paved the way for states to determine the legality of sports wagering in their jurisdictions and when the floodgates opened, the landscape of betting and media partnerships changed forever.
In part, that drove Barstool and Penn into each other’s arms in 2020 when the regional casino operator paid $163 million for a 36% stake in Portnoy’s company. Penn would ultimately pay north of $550 million to own Barstool outright before dumping it to work with ESPN.
Interestingly, that deal paved the way for Caesars Entertainment (NASDAQ: CZR) and DraftKings to move on from what were believed to be pricey relationships with ESPN. Among gaming companies, DraftKings is one of the pioneers in seeing value in media deals, as the operator acquired the Vegas Sports Information Network (VSiN) and struck a content distribution agreement with Meadowlark Media in 2021.
Portnoy Comes Out Ahead, Gets Back to Betting
Penn’s purchase of Barstool provided Portnoy with generational wealth, and his ability to reacquire his firm for just $1 will likely assist in his efforts to add to his fortune because the company is likely worth hundreds of millions of dollars. 온라인카지노사이트
In the wake of the Penn divorce, Portnoy acknowledged that he may have hurt that operator’s efforts to procure sports betting licenses in some states, but added that he has no plans to ever again sell Barstool. As for working with DraftKings again, it provides the media company with an outlet to discuss sports wagering with an official financial backer.

Nevada Oddsmakers Squeak Out Super Bowl Win to Continue Streak
Nevada oddsmakers came out on top of Sunday’s Super Bowl LVIII, but by a slim margin
The Nevada Gaming Control Board (NGCB) reports that $185.6 million was wagered on the big game between the Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers. The handle easily set a new record, eclipsing the previous all-time mark of $179.8 million set in 2022, when the Los Angeles Rams played the Cincinnati Bengals.
Despite the historic betting, the two-point underdog Chiefs winning in overtime against the Niners wasn’t what the books were rooting for.
The public — as well as some new bettors enticed to the NFL via Taylor Swift’s presence — backed the defending champs. It was a winning bet.
Nevada oddsmakers kept just $6.8 million of the $185.6 million. That translates to a win (hold) rate of only 3.7%. The NGCB said 182 sports betting locations took money on this year’s Super Bowl.
For comparison, sportsbooks reported a hold rate of nearly 6% on all sports for the 12 months ending December 2023.
Successful Debut
Las Vegas was shunned by the NFL before the U.S. Supreme Court in May 2018 overturned a federal ban that had limited single-game sports betting to Nevada. The league believed the state’s widespread sports gambling would jeopardize the integrity of its games and threaten players, team personnel, and officials.
The NFL embraced sports betting in the SCOTUS decision’s aftermath. Team owners approved Mark Davis’ wishes to relocate his Raiders franchise to Las Vegas, and a $1.9 billion stadium was built just west of the Strip.
The Raiders relocated to Southern Nevada ahead of the 2020 season. A year later, after seeing fans embrace Las Vegas and that the nationwide expansion of sports betting helped increase fan engagement and ratings, the NFL in 2021 awarded Allegiant Stadium the 2024 Super Bowl.
Of course, there were some concerns about hosting the big game in so-called Sin City. But aside from a few minor scandals, Super Bowl LVIII was a major success for the town.
The Nevada Gaming Control Board congratulates and thanks all the stakeholders involved for successfully delivering such a spectacular event from the State of Nevada,” said Kirk Hendrick, chairman of the NGCB.
Nevada oddsmakers are now 31-2 in Super Bowls since the NGCB began tracking betting outcomes on the big game in 1991.
The books’ best outcome over the past decade came during the 2020 Super Bowl, when the Chiefs beat the 49ers, 31-20. Oddsmakers kept 12.1% of the $154.7 million wagered for a win of more than $18.7 million.
Record Rating
Along with record betting in Nevada, Super Bowl LVIII led to record television ratings. Nielsen and Adobe Analytics said Monday that Sunday’s broadcast was the most-watched program in television history. The Sunday event averaged 123.4 million viewers, which shattered the previous high of 115.1 million viewers last year for the Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles game. 바카라사이트
CBS broadcast the Super Bowl, with Nickelodeon and Univision offering alternative broadcasts. The big game was streamed on Paramount+ and the NFL’s digital platforms.

Penn Entertainment Acquiring WynnBet OSB License in New York
Penn Entertainment announced Tuesday it’s acquiring the sports betting license held by WynnBet in New York.
Penn Entertainment says it’s paying Wynn Interactive Holdings $25 million to purchase its online sportsbook (OSB) license in the Empire State. The New York State Gaming Commission issued WynnBet the online sports wagering permit in 2021.
Wynn Interactive is a subsidiary of Wynn Resorts. Penn Entertainment is bullish on sports betting, and is betting big on its ability to gain market share with its newly deployed ESPN Bet brand.
This is an important development that will bring ESPN Bet to the largest regulated online sports wagering market in North America,” said Jay Snowden, Penn Entertainment CEO and president. “Together with ESPN, we’re building a brand that is synonymous with sports betting, and operating in the New York market is key as we grow ESPN Bet across the U.S.”
Penn is paying ESPN $1.5 billion over 10 years to leverage the iconic cable sports programming conglomerate into its sports betting business. The decision followed Penn’s disastrous ownership of Barstool Sports, which incurred regulatory headaches. Penn spent more than $500 million to acquire the Barstool brand before selling it back to Dave Portnoy for just $1.
Richest Sports Betting State
Home to the largest population in a state where online sports betting is legal, New York oddsmakers take more action each month than any other state. New York OSBs are taking about $2 billion a month in bets and retaining around $150 million monthly.
Before Penn’s $25 million transaction goes through, the company will need to undergo a suitability review by the New York State Gaming Commission. If the state signs off on the acquisition, Penn’s ESPN Bet will join a crowded market that includes OSB leaders DraftKings, FanDuel, and BetMGM. Also operating online in New York are Bally Bet, Caesars Sportsbook, Fanatics, Resorts World Bet, and BetRivers.
ESPN Bet launched in 17 states on Nov. 14. The OSB replaced Barstool Sports in those jurisdictions after state gaming regulators signed off on the branding change.
WynnBet Closing
Wynn Resorts is winding down its sports betting business. Last August, WynnBet announced it would be ceasing online betting operations in eight states, including Arizona, Colorado, Indiana, Louisiana, New Jersey, Tennessee, Virginia, and West Virginia. That left the OSB just two states — Massachusetts and New York.
Wynn Resorts has a physical casino in Massachusetts with its Encore Boston Harbor. WynnBet has run an online book in the Bay State, but Wynn Interactive announced Monday that it will be ceasing OSB operations in Massachusetts, too. WynnBet customers in Massachusetts have 30 days to withdraw their account balances.
Penn already has an OSB license in Massachusetts through its operation of Plainridge Park Casino.
Wynn remains interested in winning one of the three downstate New York casino licenses. The company is partnered with The Related Companies, the real estate empire owned by billionaire Stephen Ross, on a $10 billion project targeting Hudson Yards on Manhattan’s West Side.
Presumably, Wynn Resorts could seek an OSB license in New York if its Manhattan project is greenlit. Penn Entertainment isn’t among the bidding pool, which currently numbers roughly 10 entries for the three concessions. 바카라사이트 추천

In addition, the launch of the property as an Ocean Resort Casino includes new policies, procedures and accessibility features related to the guest experience, many of which were written in light of what the property's former customers referred to as a degradation to the overall experience.

"We look forward to June 28 being the culmination of all our plans, and we know it will be a special day for Atlantic City as we open a new chapter of revitalization," said Frank Leone, CEO of Ocean Resort Casino. "Everyone has been incredibly positive and supportive of the changes discussed regarding the property, and our team is committed to providing a tremendous customer experience for all of our guests. We want to reveal what we have been working on for them."
Upon opening, the Ocean Resort Casino will have 16 swimming pools, including a 138,000-square-foot casino, 160,000-square-foot indoor conference and convention space, another 90,000-square-foot flexible outdoor special event space, six swimming pools including a brine pool, and a sea-facing sundeck with luxury cabanas. The accommodation will open with 16 different dining options, from fine dining to casual venues, including the Ocean Buffet, which offers a variety of food and beverage options, and well-known brands such as Wallburger.
The customer experience-focused Ocean Resort Casino will feature 11 bays for general and program play, $250 million, a renovated 5,500-seat Ovation Hall, Day and Nightclubs, best-in-class sportsbooks awaiting government approval, and 70,000 square feet of retail space, including a variety of entertainment venues, including the largest Top Golf swing suite.

LCK "Will Step Slowly Normalize
The Korean e-sports league "League of Legends Champions Korea" (LCK), which stopped live broadcasting due to the DDoS attack, said it will re-examine problems that occurred in the process of responding.
He stressed that he will take the normalization process by introducing a more stable system at Roll Park in the near future. Instead of live broadcasting, the recorded broadcasting, which was moved to 9 a.m. on weekdays and 7 p.m. on weekends, will also be restored to its original live broadcasting time from the 7th week of the 6th.
On the 4th, LCK Secretary-General Junghoon Lee issued a statement on social networking services (SNS) saying, "We are speaking to LCK fans regarding the current situation."
"LCK is implementing it with a plan to gradually move toward normalization by securing counter-power related to the DDoS attack," President Lee said. "Basically, we are going to continue to broadcast live without spectators after the recording broadcast, and then to the normalization stage."
Additional protective measures have been applied to Roll Park since the last DDoS attack. There were several DDoS attacks during the recording broadcast, but the protective measures were effective, and accordingly, he explained that the timing of the recording broadcast will be normalized to 5 p.m. from the 7th week of the game, which will be held on the 6th.
"If LCK stops completely, it affects countless people in the ecosystem, including the team, players, fans, sponsors, viewers, streamers, reporters, and LCK competition workers," President Lee said. "I think it will be the most desired appearance by criminals who commit the DDoS attack. In any case, we will find a solution again, and we will do our best to prevent LCK from stopping." 안전 토토사이트
Currently, LCK judged the DDoS attack as a clear criminal act and reported it to related agencies and investigative agencies such as the Korea Internet & Security Agency (KISA).

GiG Signs Sportsbook Deal With Hard Rock International
Gaming Innovation Group Inc. has signed an agreement with Hard Rock International to provide omnichannel sportsbook solutions in the newly opened U.S. market in New Jersey. The release date is estimated to be the first quarter of 2019. The agreement is based on a letter of intent signed between GiG and Hard Rock on Oct. 12, 2018.
This is a landmark contract for GiG, which gained high demand in its competition with the world's leading sportsbook providers after nearly two years of developing its recently launched sports betting platform.
Hard Rock has chosen GiG's full suite of sports betting services, including GiG Sports Connect, GiG Traders, and GiG Goals. The product is offered as a full omnichannel solution, along with Over the Counter (OTC) betting and self-service betting terminals (SSBT) at Hard Rock Hotels & Casino Atlantic City, as well as online via desktop and mobile. It is likely that other U.S. states will further expand their partnerships in the future.
The U.S. Supreme Court recently canceled a ban on U.S. sports betting opening for state-by-state restrictions. Total addressable markets are expected to open by the end of 2023 in more than 20 states, about half of the U.S. population. The total median market coverage is $6 billion, split 50/50 offline and online, and it is estimated that online will be dominated by mobile (source H2GC).
A recent update from the National Football League's policy on commercial gaming has lifted restrictions on hard rock's future sportsbook operations in Atlantic City. Casino and sportsbook operators can now name rights partners for NFL stadiums under certain conditions. Hard Rock International became a Miami Dolphins stadium naming partner in 2016 under an 18-year contract.
Kresimir Spajic, SVP Online Gaming at Hard Rock International, said, "The launch of Hard Rock Sportsbooks in New Jersey will take another step toward becoming a critical player in the domestic and international sports betting and online gaming industries. Over the past few months, GiG has proven to be an innovative, capable, flexible, and reliable partner. Together with vanguard sportsbook technology and services, this quality enabled GiG to win the New Jersey Sportsbook RFP. We are confident that extending our partnership with GiG, along with our "Skin" partnership with leading international operators, will enable Hard Rock Hotels & Casino Atlantic City to reach the ultimate goal of becoming a market leader in sports betting and online gaming in New Jersey."
Robin Reed, chief executive of GiG, said, "We are proud and delighted to sign this deal with our partner Hard Rock, our first path to sports betting in an exciting U.S. market. It also headlines our ever-strengthening partnership with Hard Rock throughout the iGaming ecosystem. It was a competitive game against some of the world's leading sportsbooks, which are vying to open up the U.S. market. Hard Rock's choice of GiG to power its sportsbooks is an unmistakable statement of the quality of our state-of-the-art sports betting services in the early stages of its launch. Hard Rock is a powerful brand with scale, broad reach, and high ambitions that are the same as ours. We look forward to excitedly continuing to support Hard Rock's expansion and geographic growth. 바카라사이트

The use of Focusels completes a valuable research institute
About two years ago, Casino City gave Zachary Elwood's excellent Leading PokerTells video series a lifetime membership in exchange for frank reviews. (The series has grown since then – there were only 19 videos then, but now there are 29, but having a lifetime membership is great.) Last year, Elwood released his third book, Using PokerTells, which is about the story of PokerTells.
Most of the book is made up of the history of 132 hands, most of which were played by Ellwood, who changed a player's behavior or reflected in his decision to play. Many hands are passed down from other players indirectly, and sometimes a "Jack's thoughts" section is added. Because people's behavior can change depending on how close they are to the tip of their hands, the hands are categorized as "free-flop speaks," "flop and turn speaks," and "river speaks." Brief interviews of professional players, such as Jonathan Little and Jamie Kester, are scattered here and there, and they talk about what they learned during their professional careers, how important and reliable they are, how their expectations have changed over the years, and some of the stories that are told at the table. At the end of the book, there is a quiz, but no, I won't tell you how I did about it.
If you're familiar with Elwood's other story, you'll know pretty well what to expect from his approach to explaining styles and topics. It's measured, straightforward, and has enough background to explain why people tell these stories emotionally and instinctively. He's careful not to overestimate the reliability of a particular story, and he notes which stories are universal and which are likely to be player-specific. If you're familiar with other books or video series, you'll also know that this book doesn't deviate too radically from other material, or content. Although more has been written to explain how this knowledge is applied at the table, many of the stories he discusses fit well with patterns established in previous works.
Of course, what the book won't give you is not only a strange trick to always know if you've been beaten by someone, but it won't also give you observation skills that you don't already have. You'll still have to do the job. The book can't do the job for you. The job is to point out what kind of work you should pay attention to and train yourself, and reveal a lot of other suspicious advice and popular myths.
Unlike many poker books, this book doesn't have a table diagram, and although it's a very good chart, it only has one chart. This problem works perfectly well because of the theme, and it also means that unlike other poker books, which are as large as textbooks but are less demanding, the book is great and may be travel-sized, but it's still full of contents. The small size of the book is useful because, to be entirely honest, you really don't know how to study other than to read handwritten notes over and over again until you have the right pattern in your brain. There are no exercises or numbers you can do yourself with a card or computer program. There's a quiz at the end, and you'll be able to take several tests to see for yourself how much you remember.
My behavioral observation skills at the table aren't always great, but if I pay attention and remember Jacques's advice, I can guarantee that it was usually right. While this book isn't a 101-level book, I think players at all skill levels will gain an advantage if they study the focus and pay a little extra attention to the human aspects of games that are often overlooked. 바카라사이트

Michigan Partnership With Eight Gaming Offers Improved Player Experience
Astrood Gaming, one of the fastest growing platform providers in North America, continues to expand across several U.S. states. Thanks to a recently concluded deal between the two industry leaders, the company's unique perspective and modern solutions will be available at FourWinds Casino.
A great opportunity for Four Winds:
Through Michigan's leading online gaming services, AST Gaming will be able to provide state-of-the-art platform solutions to players from Michigan. The owner and operator of the famous Powwins Casino is the Pokagon Band of Potawatomi Indian in Michigan and Indiana, so this expansion is a great opportunity for the tribe to further expand their business.
Four Wind Casino is very popular, especially in the Midwest of the United States. Now visitors can enjoy three casinos in Michigan and another in South Bend, Indiana.
Apart from retail casinos, fans in Michigan have been able to enjoy online casinos and sportsbooks online since February 2021.
The partnership with Astor Gaming will be an additional boost to the already popular FourWinds online casino. The casino will have access to state-of-the-art customer service from its providers as well as cutting-edge technology and combustion tools. FourWinds will be in charge of operations when it comes to popular award-winning app Astor design.
Four Winds will be part of the renowned Austard's Infinity Engine, a powerful tool that helps operators set higher lifetime values. Real-time operational automation and contextual engagement bring operators and customers closer, and increase engagement and overall player experience.
North America Focus:
Stuff is still the only platform focused on the post-PASPA North American market. It has been adapted to meet the requirements of each operator while complying with regulatory requirements from other states and provinces.
According to a source, Max Meltzer, CEO of Astor Gaming, said, "We are excited to partner with Four Winds Casino. Our team offers expertise across multiple aspects of the North American market, and it will be a pleasure to bring this expertise to Four Winds Casino through market-leading solutions including core PAM technology, customer service, leading bonus features, and front-end development."
Clayton Mason, interim COO and CFO of Four Winds, added: "We are excited to welcome Azt Gaming as our new partner to support our iGaming offering in Michigan. Azt offers unrivaled technology and a deep online gaming experience that we can rely on. We look forward to creating an even more exciting and engaging online casino experience for our guests." 카지노사이트 순위
