BAGANBAZAR GRAPHSource-attributed newsTECHNOLOGY deskVGW, the operator behind Chumba Casino, LuckyLand Casino, and Global Poker, has escalated its political spending in Alabama, donating $100,000 to US Sen. Tommy Tuberville’s gubernatorial campaign on top of an earlier $30,000 contribution this year. The combined $130,000 in direct donations, disclosed in September campaign finance filings, makes Alabama one of the clearest examples of VGW’s strategy of funding candidates in states where the legal status of sweepstakes-style gaming remains unsettled. Tuberville has not publicly commented on VGW’s business model, and the company’s payment should not be read as a sign that he intends to back sweepstakes-friendly legislation. VGW’s spending in the state extends past the governor’s race. Disclosures show the company has also funneled money into political action committees and state legislative candidates, generally favoring contenders with strong odds of winning — a pattern consistent with trying to build goodwill with lawmakers ahead of any future gambling debate. Alabama’s Regulatory Vacuum Alabama has never implemented a comprehensive gambling framework, leaving sweepstakes casinos in a legal gray zone that VGW appears eager to influence before lawmakers act. Tuberville has previously said the legislature should decide gambling policy, including the possibility of sending the question to voters as a referendum, but no gambling bill is currently before lawmakers. That absence of active legislation makes the timing of VGW’s contributions notable. The company seems to be positioning itself early, well before any bill materializes, in a state where the rules governing its product could still be written from scratch. Mounting Legal Pressure Elsewhere The Alabama spending comes as VGW contends with rising legal exposure national
BAGANBAZAR GRAPHSource-attributed newsTECHNOLOGY deskThe Ninth Circuit ruled 3-0 in favor of the Blue Lake Rancheria and Chicken Ranch Rancheria of Me-Wuk Indians on Wednesday, reversing a lower court’s denial of a preliminary injunction concerning Kalshi’s sports-event contracts on the tribes’ California lands. The case returns to the district court for further proceedings rather than ending in a final judgment, according to CDC Gaming. The tribes sued Kalshi and Robinhood in 2025, arguing that sports prediction markets infringed their exclusive sovereign right to regulate gaming on their reservations. The Ninth Circuit panel found that Kalshi’s sports-event contracts constitute gaming under the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act and concluded that the tribes were likely to succeed on claims that Kalshi’s products on tribal lands violated IGRA and the tribes’ gaming ordinances. Both tribes operate casinos under tribal-state gaming compacts with California, agreements that grant them exclusive rights to offer gaming within their territory. The appellate panel sent the case back to the district court, which must now weigh the remaining factors required to grant a preliminary injunction. How the Lower Court Got Here The district court had previously denied the tribes’ injunction request, accepting Kalshi’s position that its sports-event contracts function as federally regulated derivatives under the Commodity Exchange Act rather than as gambling products. That court also rejected the tribes’ Lanham Act claim, treating Kalshi’s advertising as a nonactionable opinion about the legality of its own products rather than a false or misleading statement. The Picayune Rancheria of the Chukchansi Indians, originally part of the lawsuit, withdrew from the proceedings last August. That same month, the Ninth Circuit issued a separate ruling
BAGANBAZAR GRAPHSource-attributed newsTECHNOLOGY deskThe U.S. Senate rejected a procedural motion needed to advance the CLARITY Act on Tuesday, blocking legislation that tribal-gaming operators and lawmakers said was a crucial step toward stopping prediction-market companies from offering sports-event contracts outside state and tribal gaming systems. Senators voted 49-50 against cloture, falling well short of the 60 votes required. The failed vote rejected a procedural step that limits debate on whether to take up the legislation at all. The CLARITY Act would establish rules for crypto markets and clarify the respective responsibilities of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission. Even if cloture had passed, the bill would still have needed to return to the House for consideration, and it is now likely dead for 2026, with no realistic path to reconciliation until after the November midterm elections. Cortez Masto Cites Illegal Gambling Concerns Senator Catherine Cortez Masto, D-Nevada, said the bill would allow prediction markets to continue operations she characterized as illegal gaming that ignores state and tribal law. She said the version under consideration marked a step backward from language passed out of the Senate Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs Committee and argued it undermined law enforcement’s ability to investigate crypto crimes, according to a statement following the vote. Senator Jacky Rosen, D-Nevada, joined Cortez Masto in voting no. Supreme Court Petitions Loom Over the Fight Cortez Masto’s objections come as Crypto.com and Robinhood have petitioned the U.S. Supreme Court to consider whether the Commodity Exchange Act preempts states from regulating sports-event contracts through their own gaming laws. That filing follows a Ninth Circuit ruling affirming a

Netflix has revealed the official trailer for a new biopic documentary series titled simply Tyson, a look at the life and fame (and everything else) of boxing superstar Mike Tyson. Yet another one of these streaming docs that also kind of acts as marketing for the person it's about. Netflix is also about to release a filmed version of his one-man-show at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, FL. If anyone wants to watch it. This four-part docu series traces Mike Tyson's rise from Brooklyn to becoming the youngest heavyweight champion, and the fame, controversy, and the personal reckoning that followed. Tyson is a "raw" 4-part documentary that peels back the curtain on Mike Tyson’s explosive life, from a brutal childhood and a meteoric rise to heavyweight glory to the addiction, jail time, public breakdowns, and the infamous ear bite that almost ended it all. Told unfiltered in Tyson’s own words, with never-before-seen material and rare access to his family, friends, foes, it's an intimate portrait of greatness, collapse, and a man still confronting the cost of his legacy.

BAGANBAZAR GRAPHSource-attributed newsTECHNOLOGY deskThe California Nations Indian Gaming Association urged Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-South Dakota, and Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-New York, not to bring up the CLARITY Act on Tuesday unless the bill closes what the group calls a prediction-market loophole and preserves federal, state, and tribal gaming law. The request, made in a letter from CNIGA Chairman James Siva, lands days ahead of a scheduled Senate cloture vote, as tribal leaders nationally warn Congress that prediction markets are gambling by another name. Siva’s letter argues that prediction-market operators are trying to use federal commodities law to offer nationwide gambling, sidestepping the framework Congress built through the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act and decades of tribal-state compacts. CNIGA wants any digital-asset market-structure bill to explicitly bar designated commodity markets from listing event contracts tied to sports wagering, athletic competitions, player performance, or casino-style gaming – anything already regulated under federal, state, or tribal gaming law. The coalition is also asking lawmakers to preserve IGRA and existing compacts outright, and to shut off any route by which digital-asset or decentralized-finance provisions could function as a backdoor for nationwide mobile gambling, a concern that echoes broader friction between federal prediction-market activity and state gaming authority. “Congress built a carefully negotiated federal, state, and tribal framework for gaming,” Siva said. “Prediction market companies want none of that. But just because you’re well-funded doesn’t mean the rules don’t apply.” A 630-Page Bill and a Tight Vote Count The Senate has scheduled a cloture vote on the 630-page CLARITY Act for Tuesday, a procedural step that requires 60 votes t
BAGANBAZAR GRAPHSource-attributed newsWORLD deskMacau was to start its first national security trial behind closed doors on Wednesday, in a case against a former pro-democracy lawmaker charged with subversion. Former Macau lawmaker Au Kam San. File photo: Au Kam San, via Facebook. The Chinese casino hub expanded the scope of national security laws in May 2023, and a new bill passed this year allows judges to hear national security cases behind closed doors. Au Kam San, a former Macau lawmaker who was detained in July 2025, was the first person to be arrested under the island’s new laws and is the first to face a closed trial. The 69-year-old has been charged with “subversion of state power”, as well as building ties with foreign groups and media outlets that endanger China. Since Au’s arrest, details about the case have remained scarce. Michael Polak, a London-based barrister representing Au, said holding the hearings in private would “be a sham process”. Prosecutors’ allegations appear to arise from Au’s “peaceful political activity, belief in democracy, and his regular meetings with the Office of the European Union to Hong Kong and Macau”, Polak’s group said earlier this year.

Au was also one of the organisers of annual vigils in Macau — a former Portuguese territory which reverted to China in 1999 — to remember the victims of the 1989 Tiananmen Square crackdown. Macau and Hong Kong were once the only places in China where such public commemorations could take place.

BAGANBAZAR GRAPHSource-attributed newsWORLD deskRep. Chuck Edwards (R-N.C.) filed a complaint against the top Republican and Democrat on the House Ethics Committee on Tuesday, accusing the lawmakers who investigated him of breaking their own rules.Why it matters: Edwards is escalating his fight against the committee just two weeks after the House voted 413-2 to censure him over its findings that he violated House rules related to sexual harassment and a hostile workplace.Edwards' complaint asks the Office of Congressional Conduct to investigate Ethics Chair Michael Guest (R-Miss.) and ranking member Mark DeSaulnier (D-Calif.) over their handling of his case.The Ethics Committee has previously disputed Edwards' account of the process. When it released its report last month, Guest and DeSaulnier said Edwards had agreed to waive certain procedural steps after reviewing a draft of the report several days earlier.The committee's findings follow Axios' reporting that Edwards singled out two young female staffers in their 20s for special attention that multiple sources described as inappropriate.Driving the news: "There was nothing ethical about this process," Edwards said in announcing the complaint.He alleges the committee circumvented its own rules by adopting its final report and recommending his censure before receiving his formal response.Edwards has maintained that his conduct did not violate House rules, though he did apologize to his wife, family, and the two women he allegedly harassed.The committee declined to comment.Catch up quick: The Ethics report's findings corroborated several anecdotes previously reported by Axios, including handwritten correspondence, personal gifts, drinking outings, and casino trips, and cited them as supporting evidence for its findings.He told one staffer that she had "written a compl

BAGANBAZAR GRAPHSource-attributed newsBUSINESS deskDIGIPLUS INTERACTIVE Corp. has room to take on additional debt to fund its expansion while maintaining relatively low leverage, Moody’s Ratings said as it assigned the gaming company a first-time B1 corporate family rating with a stable outlook. Moody’s said DigiPlus’ target of keeping net debt to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) below three times indicates the company has the capacity and willingness to take on additional debt for growth. The rating agency expects DigiPlus’ leverage to remain below 0.5 times over the next 12 to 18 months, provided the company does not undertake significant acquisitions or investments. “DigiPlus’ B1 rating reflects its leadership in the Philippines’ online gaming market and strong financial profile, underpinned by low leverage, robust cash generation and a net cash position,” Moody’s Ratings Assistant Vice-President Yu Sheng Tay said in a statement e-mailed to journalists on Thursday. Moody’s said DigiPlus had P10.5 billion in cash and cash equivalents as of June 30 and was in a net cash position. The company’s cash balance, together with projected operating cash flow of P19.5 billion, should be sufficient to cover P7.6 billion in capital spending, P1.3 billion in scheduled debt maturities, and P4.2 billion in shareholder returns through December 2027, according to the rating agency. DigiPlus is expanding into land-based casinos and overseas gaming markets, including Brazil and South Africa, while also planning to apply for an online gaming license in New Zealand. Combined capital spending for its Brazil and South Africa expansion is expected at about P650 million over the next two years, Moody’s said.

BAGANBAZAR GRAPHSource-attributed newsWORLD deskMacau will hold its first national security trial behind closed doors next week, a court said on Friday, in a case against a former pro-democracy lawmaker charged with “subversion”. Former Macau lawmaker Au Kam San. File photo: Au Kam San, via Facebook. The Chinese casino hub expanded the scope of national security laws in May 2023, and a new bill passed earlier this year allows judges to hear national security cases behind closed doors. Lawyers and rights groups have warned that the rule could undermine the functioning of government departments and apply to “any judicial case”. Former Macau lawmaker Au Kam San in July 2025 became the first person to be arrested under the expanded law, with authorities alleging he had ties to foreign groups endangering China. The judge decided to “hold the trial behind closed doors in order to ensure that national security interests are not compromised”, a statement released by Macau’s final appeals court said. After Au’s arrest, details about the case remained scarce until this July, when judicial authorities in Macau confirmed that he would stand trial as a “principal offender” of subversion and other crimes. The court said the trial decision had been confirmed by Macau’s national security committee, following a request from the city’s public prosecutions office. The proceedings are set to begin September 16. Au, 69, is a primary school teacher who became one of Macau’s longest-serving pro-democracy legislators before deciding not to seek re-election in 2021. Authorities said that a court-appointed lawyer previously accepted by Au will continue to represent him. Macau flag. Photo: gavindeas, via Flickr.

BAGANBAZAR GRAPHSource-attributed newsTECHNOLOGY deskIf you have a driver's license in the U.S or Canada, there's a pretty good chance that your data was recently for sale on the dark web. A massive hack at ID verification company IDScan.net compromised records for more than 150 million drivers, resulting in scans of licenses being made available to bad actors. IDScan.net is a Louisiana-based company that provides identity and age verification services for industries ranging from casinos and cannabis dispensaries to hotels and car rentals. What happened with the IDScan.net breach?According to an incident notice on IDScan's website, the company received information "on or around" Sept. 1 that an unauthorized third party was able to gain access to stored customer data, including full names along with driver's license and government-issued ID numbers. This was around the time that a major breach was reported by cybersecurity journalist Brian Krebs, who received a tip that driver's license information—including digital scans—was available for sale on the dark web via an identity theft service dubbed Nexus. The platform advertised access to more than 153 million driver's licenses, and Krebs and security researcher Zach Edwards verified the data and identified IDScan as the likely source. As TechCrunch reports, the FBI is investigating the breach, and the database has since been taken offline. What to do if your drivers license has been compromisedA lost or stolen driver's license creates a high risk of identity theft and fraud, as hackers can use it to open financial accounts and take out loans in your name, commit mail fraud, create a fake ID, and even develop a synthetic identity (which combines both real and fake personal data) that could be used to commit a crime. If thieves have access to your physical license or a scan,

(PAGCOR), made Philippine gaming history with the ceremonial handover of a P122,409,603.00 jackpot — the biggest verified jackpot in Philippine online slot machine history. The landmark cheque presentation was held at LaVie Resort and Casino, Manila, on Sept. 9, in the presence of PAGCOR, Casino Plus CEO Evan Spytma, and the verified winner, who attended with their identity protected for personal safety and security.

The company wants judges to stop both states from applying their gambling and sports betting laws to event contracts offered through its federally regulated market. Over the weekend, @Underdog announced it will give up its daily fantasy sports licenses in seven states. @JerLevine reported the states told the company it cannot offer both its prediction markets and DFS competitions in their jurisdictions.https://t.co/uma0Rgm3kx— RLinnehanSR (@RLinnehanSR) September 8, 2026 The cases, filed in federal courts in Ohio, Massachusetts, and Wisconsin, add Underdog to a widening legal fight over who gets to regulate prediction markets. Platforms argue these products fall under federal commodities law, while states increasingly view sports contracts as ordinary wagers that require local gambling licenses. In Ohio, Underdog sued officials including Attorney General Andy Wilson and Ohio Casino Control Commission Interim Executive Director Andromeda Morrison. It says its status as a designated contract market and futures commission merchant places the contracts within the Commodity Futures Trading Commission’s authority under the Commodity Exchange Act. Ohio has already taken an aggressive approach toward rival Kalshi. In April, the Casino Control Commission proposed a $5 million penalty for allegedly conducting unlicensed sports gaming. Kalshi has fought the state in federal court, although an Ohio judge previously declined to block enforcement while that litigation continued. Underdog says that leaves it facing the same regulatory threat: “The threat of Defendants’ enforceme

Local reporting says the operation has brought roughly 100 new jobs to the area. For tribal leaders, Leggett also signals a new period of economic development after years spent fighting in court over gaming. In 2022, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that Texas could not apply its gaming laws to stop electronic bingo on tribal land when state law did not prohibit the activity outright. Texas later abandoned its longstanding lawsuit against the Tribe. Naskila Casino Leggett opening signals wider tribal gaming and economic expansion Construction is already underway nearby on the permanent Naskila Casino Resort, which broke ground in June. Plans cover roughly 685,000 square feet, with about 3,400 electronic bingo machines and a 366-room hotel. Guests are also expected to find restaurants, bars and lounges, a resort-style pool complex and around 35,000 square feet for conferences and events. A grand ballroom is designed for crowds of up to 1,000 people. The opening of the first phase is targeted for late 2028.

BAGANBAZAR GRAPHSource-attributed newsENTERTAINMENT deskIn the court documents, obtained by Variety, Salkin alleges that she pitched her own sprawling Western drama, “Sovereign Nation,” to Sheridan’s management company, Elevate Entertainment, in 2016, only to be told: “Taylor thanks you very much for your interest. Unfortunately, he’s unavailable for TV projects.” The suit then claims that “Yellowstone” was greenlit at Paramount “within months” of her rejection. “Sheridan, however, was not ‘unavailable for TV projects,’” the suit reads, “Instead, he and others used Salkin’s copyrighted works to develop Yellowstone. On June 20, 2018, Paramount Network aired its first episode.” The lawsuit lists several “specific expressive choices” that “Yellowstone” allegedly lifted from Salkin’s “Sovereign Nation.” Those elements, the suit states, include “a tribal casino functioning as the institutional center of political and development power; a signature confrontation staged in the tribal chairman’s casino office over expansion beyond reservation boundaries; the use of trust land, the absence of zoning restrictions, and a 99-year lease structure as the concrete mechanism for that expansion; and recurring master-plan imagery deployed to dramatize the struggle for territorial control.” Salkin’s lawyers also claim that she “proposed” Danny Huston and Gil Birmingham for “Sovereign Nation” in her pitch deck. Both were later cast in “Yellowstone” and played “materially parallel structural roles: Birmingham as the tribal political leader whose authority and development strategy run through the casino, and Huston as the outside development power broker who supplies the political or commercial path for that expansion.” The suit later states, “When the works are objectively compared, the same coordinated design repeatedly appears: casino-centered

Source linkedAmericans are gambling less often than they did a decade ago, according to Gallup , with some of the biggest declines showing up in lotteries, casinos and workplace pools. Across Gallup telephone polls conducted in June and July, 45% of U.S. adults said they had participated in at least one type of gambling during the previous year. A decade earlier, that figure was 64%, roughly matching results from 2003 and 2007. More than 2,200 adults took part in the latest telephone surveys. The percentage of U.S. adults who report doing any kind of gambling during the past year is 45%, down from 64% a decade ago. pic.twitter.com/yAT4ZOUv6G — Gallup (@Gallup) August 17, 2026 Lottery tickets still lead Gallup’s list of gambling activities, though fewer people are buying them. From 1989 through 1999, a majority of Americans reported purchasing state lottery tickets. Participation later slipped into the upper-40% range and has now dropped to 31%. Casino gambling has moved in the same direction. While 20% of adults reported visiting casinos to gamble in 1989, the share climbed to 30% in 2003 before falling to 14% today. Internet gambling stands apart from that broader retreat. Gallup found 4% currently gamble for money online, the only measured category that has avoided a decline over time. Workplace pools have fallen from 15% in the early 2000s to 7%, while video poker participation has tumbled from a 20% high in 1999 to 5%. Sports betting has changed relatively little since 2003, although today’s participation remains below levels Gallup measured during the late 1980s and 1990s. Survey shows overall gambling falls for Americans while online sports betting gains ground Separate research points to strong growth in digital sports wagering. An online Siena Research Institute and St. Bonaventure University survey released in April found 27% of Americans had an active sportsbook account , up from 22% in 2025 and 19% in 2024. Among men ages 18 to 49, 52% reported having an account. The survey, covering 3,084 U.S. residents, found 22% of Americans currently wager on sports. It also identified growing concerns: 60% of bettors reported chasing losses, while 63% said they had wagered at least $100 in a single day. A separate 2025 TaxAct survey of 750 adults ages 18 to 64 found widespread interest in sports betting but limited understanding of taxes. Only 18% knew all gambling winnings must be reported to the IRS. Gallup, meanwhile, found declines across every major demographic group compared with 2016. Participation reached 54% among households earning at least $100,000, versus 45% for those earning $50,000 to $99,999 and 40% below $50,000. Men reported gambling more frequently than women, 49% to 40%. Adults 50 and older registered a 50% rate, compared with 41% among younger adults. Survey method also mattered. Gallup’s parallel online poll measured overall participation at 53%, while telephone polling found 45%. For sports gambling, those figures were 21% online and 15% by telephone. On potential harms, 3% of all adults and 7% of gamblers told Gallup they “sometimes gamble more than [they] think [they] should.” Another 9% said gambling had created family problems. Attitudes are shifting too. Gallup found 57% of Americans now consider gambling morally acceptable, down from 67% in 2016.

Source linkedBally’s is slowing parts of construction on its $1.7 billion permanent Chicago casino as it pushes back against the possible expansion of video gambling terminals (VGTs) in the city. The company told the Chicago Community Builders Collective that it is “resetting the pace” of some work. For now, the corporation says that adjustment will not delay the casino’s planned early 2027 opening. “Bally’s issued a notification to the Chicago Community Builders Collective (CCBC) that it is resetting the pace of construction of elements of Bally’s Chicago permanent casino,” the company said. Bally’s poor decision making and reckless brinksmanship should not impact a city-controlled CDOT project. Bally’s sure needs bridges and roadways reopened if their alleged future casino operation wants to see any visitors… pic.twitter.com/N2sye4L7A5 — Brendan Reilly (@AldReilly) August 9, 2026 The company says the “potential for an uncontrolled proliferation” of video gambling terminals would run against commitments Chicago made when the casino agreement was reached. “The potential for an uncontrolled proliferation of video gambling terminals (VGTs) is in breach of the City’s commitment not to expand gaming in the Host Community Agreement (HCA) and creates uncertainty that could be harmful for Bally’s Chicago prospects,” the company said. “Initial opening of the permanent Casino remains unchanged for early 2027 and Bally’s Chicago intends to fully honor its commitments under the Host Community Agreement,” it added. Bally’s says VGTs threatens casino investment in Chicago but not opening date The slowdown could affect workers on one of Chicago’s biggest developments. Bally’s says up to 1,500 union tradespeople could potentially feel the impact. “We do not take this lightly because of the potential impact on many of the 1,500 union trades people who have been working hard to build Bally’s Chicago,” the company said. Bally’s says it is reviewing its options while hoping for “more productive discussions with the Mayor’s Office and City Council.” The dispute follows a major July milestone, when the casino reached its full structural height at 560 W. Grand Ave., according to our previous reporting. Crews installed the final steel beam at the former Chicago Tribune Freedom Center site. “This is a significant milestone for Bally’s Chicago and reflects the incredible effort of the union trades and partners who have made this moment possible,” Kim said at the time. “We’re proud of the progress to date and excited to move into the next phase as we deliver a one-of-a-kind destination for the people of Chicago.” Plans for the 30-acre River West property include 3,400 slots, 173 table games, 10 food and beverage venues, a 500-room hotel, a 3,000-seat entertainment venue, parking and riverfront amenities. About 3,000 permanent jobs are expected. Construction has faced earlier setbacks involving debris entering the Chicago River, an unauthorized waste hauler and engineering changes that forced foundation revisions and relocation of the hotel tower. “We had some fits and starts,” Kim said during the July topping-off event. “We’re going to be done early next year. We’re excited to finish it all up.” The Illinois Gaming Board has extended operations at Bally’s temporary Medinah Temple casino through September 9, 2027. Bally’s had already moved in June to defend its investment, saying it assembled an “excellent and knowledgeable team” and hired RKF Global PLLC, where former Mayor Lori Lightfoot is a partner. “As we ramp up efforts to protect our investment in the city, we have also brought on the strategic counsel of RKF Global PLLC,” Bally’s said. Chicago officials have projected the permanent casino could eventually produce more than $100 million annually for police and fire pensions and other city priorities.

Source linkedFanDuel will pay Iowa regulators $95,000 after acknowledging that its sportsbook offered wagers the state had not approved. The Iowa Racing and Gaming Commission approved the stipulated agreement with Betfair Interactive US LLC, FanDuel Sportsbook’s operator. The case covers two compliance violations . During the period involved, Betfair held licenses for retail sports betting at Diamond Jo Dubuque and Diamond Jo Worth while also running FanDuel’s licensed online sportsbook in Iowa. FanDuel faces mounting scrutiny over Iowa betting compliance The larger penalty arose from wagers on the Philippines-based Maharlika Pilipinas Basketball League. FanDuel told regulators on May 7, 2025, that it had offered MPBL betting from June 4, 2024, through April 2, 2025. Iowa permits wagering on international professional basketball leagues only when they are their country’s top tier and are sanctioned or recognized by FIBA. The MPBL did not qualify. Customers made 21,638 straight, parlay and round-robin bets containing MPBL selections, producing $1,189,640.93 in handle and an initial FanDuel profit of $60,692.19. FanDuel later reviewed its basketball offerings and strengthened its process for checking international leagues. The company refunded affected Iowa customers’ net losses while leaving winning payouts intact. On July 9, 2025, FanDuel returned $154,898.99 to 1,665 customers and adjusted its July revenue filing by negative $60,110.03. A separate commission review on July 8, 2025, found FanDuel’s Iowa retail sportsbooks had taken wagers involving yellow and red cards in international soccer. Iowa prohibits proposition bets tied to officiating decisions, including soccer cards. FanDuel pulled those markets and began changing its filtering process. They had not appeared on its Iowa mobile sportsbook. Regulators identified one affected $134.58 parlay. Because FanDuel could not identify the bettor, it surrendered $44.86 through Iowa’s unclaimed-property process. FanDuel stopped operating Iowa retail sportsbooks on April 15, 2026. The latest action follows a separate $125,000 Iowa penalty reported in July 2025 covering five counts involving unauthorized wagers and responsible-gambling requirements. Commission official Daryle Olsen said at that hearing: “Five counts within a very short period of time is just too much, you know, and so I know they’re dealing with a big volume. I believe FanDuel is our number two operator in the state. But we just expect more. “I think in fairness, the Commission has to look at how we treat our out-of-state operators versus our brick-and-mortar casinos, because we need to be consistent, and that’s all we’re trying to do. We expect more. “I think our job is to tell them what we expect, lay out the concerns, and then hopefully they go back and fix it, and we don’t have to deal with this again.” FanDuel spokesperson Ben Roth said then: “We take responsibility for the matters represented in the settlement before the Commission today and understand that we did not meet the high standard that we hold for ourselves. “In response to the issues before you today, FanDuel has worked to remediate the various root causes through a combination of manual remediation efforts. “That includes increased training, more detailed checklists and runbooks for the deployment of content, and of course, automation wherever possible to avoid the potential for manual error. “FanDuel has addressed each issue by ensuring that no impacted customer has been adversely affected by these issues, and FanDuel has disgorged itself of any resulting revenue as a result of these.” Under the new settlement, Betfair accepted a $50,000 penalty for the basketball violation and $45,000 for the soccer markets. The money goes to Iowa’s general fund. Betfair CFO David Jennings signed the agreement July 24, 2026, and commission Chair Amy Burkhart approved it July 27.

Source linkedThe Scotts Valley Band of Pomo Indians has returned to federal court after the U.S. Department of the Interior reversed course on whether its trust land in Vallejo, California, can be used for gaming. The lawsuit , filed August 7 in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, challenges the department’s July 30 decision that the roughly 160-acre property does not qualify as the tribe’s “restored lands” under the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act, known as IGRA. Interior reverses Vallejo casino approval after review finds historical connection – https://t.co/WCFiQqV4PA @RWW — Suswati Basu (@suswatibasu) August 4, 2026 Interior continues to recognize Scotts Valley as a restored tribe and agrees it satisfies the timing and modern-connection requirements under federal regulations. The tribe is arguing that it has a significant historical connection to the Vallejo property. Latest reversal from Interior triggers another legal challenge from Scotts Valley According to the complaint, the department abandoned the approach it previously used when it approved the property earlier this year. The tribe argues the latest decision is “arbitrary, capricious, contrary to law, unsupported by the administrative record” and conflicts with both IGRA and prior federal court rulings. Scotts Valley first sought federal approval for the Vallejo site in 2016, submitting thousands of pages of historical, genealogical, anthropological and expert evidence supporting its ties to Vallejo and the surrounding North Bay. Interior rejected the application in 2019, but a federal judge threw out that decision in 2022, finding the agency had improperly discounted evidence supporting the tribe’s historical presence. After reconsidering the matter, Interior approved the land in January 2025, took the property into trust and concluded it qualified as restored lands eligible for gaming. The agency relied on broader interpretations of “occupancy” and “vicinity” while evaluating evidence involving Chief Augustine, the tribe’s role in the North Bay ranching economy and territory associated with an unratified 1851 treaty. The approval did not end the dispute. Opponents, including the Yocha Dehe Wintun Nation and Kletsel Dehe Wintun Nation, maintained the site lies within Patwin ancestral territory. During a 16-month review, Interior revisited the record after determining evidence had previously been excluded. Last month the department reversed its earlier approval, concluding Scotts Valley had still not demonstrated the historical connection required under federal law. The legal fight continued while Scotts Valley pursued a temporary “preview casino” using modular buildings and Class II gaming machines near Interstate 80 and Highway 37. Yocha Dehe separately sued Vallejo over city approvals connected to that temporary facility, while several California tribes urged Scotts Valley to delay gaming until the federal review concluded. The latest complaint says Interior effectively turned historical disruption of the tribe’s ancestral ties into evidence against it by demanding proof tied too closely to the specific Vallejo parcel. The tribe also says it had already begun operating a Class II gaming facility but was “compelled to suspend gaming operations” after receiving the July decision. Scotts Valley is asking the court to declare the decision unlawful, set it aside and restore Interior’s January 2025 determination that the Vallejo property qualifies as restored lands eligible for gaming under IGRA. Following the reversal, Yocha Dehe Chairman Anthony Roberts welcomed the outcome, saying the review confirmed that Vallejo is Patwin ancestral territory and that decisions involving tribal lands should be based on documented historical ties. Kletsel Dehe Chairman Charlie Wright likewise said the ruling protected the integrity of the restored-lands process by ensuring gaming eligibility is grounded in the historical record.
