This Week in Gambling: 2021 NFL season brings sports betting changes

We return from summer vacation ready for the new American football season and lots of gambling news. We have major developments from the NFL and its approach to sports betting, another Fremont Street casino reopening, and a report on what things are like in Las Vegas.

As we approach the first games of the 2021 football season, NFL sports betting news finds that commercials will be allowed during games. The league has made agreements with several licensed sports books, and those lucky seven books will be allowed to run advertisements during NFL games this year!

BetMGM, WynnBet, PointsBet, and FOX Bet will now join the sports books previously selected by the NFL in April, which were Caesars Entertainment, FanDuel, and DraftKings. However, do not expect viewers to be over run with gambling commercials.

The NFL has set a strict limit on the number of ads allowed per game, and when those ads can be run. Networks showing NFL games will only be permitted to show one sports betting commercial per quarter. An additional ad will be allowed for the pregame show, and the final one during halftime.

If this were not enough sports betting news, an agreement has been reached which will find the New Orleans Superdome renamed for an American gambling company. The 20 year agreement renames the venue as Caesars Superdome.
