This Week in Gambling: NFL sports betting and gambling deals

Just over two years ago, NFL sports betting was villainized by the league. However, once the U.S. Supreme Court cleared the way to legalize the activity in 2018, several states were rushing to regulate and profit from the activity. Now, professional football teams are partnering with gambling operators and creating some interesting NFL sports betting opportunities.

Can you believe that there are NFL sports betting partnerships? After all, it was just a few years ago the League canceled Tony Romo's fantasy football convention at a Nevada casino due to their strict policy against gambling. However, many professional football teams are now taking the plunge on NFL sports betting, and the league itself is loosening its gambling policies.

The Raiders' are in Las Vegas and have a spiffy new stadium just off The Strip. NFL teams are now making sports betting deals with gambling operators. But, the new gambling partnerships won't exactly make up for years of prohibition, or pull in enough of the lost revenue Las Vegas is missing due to the pandemic. Still, just six years after canceling a fantasy football camp... and less than three years from a Supreme Court decision... the NFL sports betting relationship is blossoming in 2020.
