Back in June, the legislative of Nevada incorporated a law that gave individuals the freedom of investing in any betting site of their preference. Nonetheless, nothing has been put into actions four months since despite the news being welcomed warmly by the betting diehards. It is however claimed that there are some entities that have already started gearing up for the day when sportsbook will gladly acknowledge their deposits.

For instance, Bettor Investments have been eager to be part of the first investors in sportsbook but have all their efforts put on halt as none has come forward in accepting any deal with the firm. The Founder and Managing Member of Bettor Investments Matt Stuart claimed that they are still waiting for the Nevada Division of Gaming to stipulate rules that would bind such a deal.

In essence it is not actually the Nevada Division of Gaming that is keeping potential investors such as Bettor Investments at bay but it is the sportsbook who have the freedom of striking a deal with any firm that has a banking account in the state. In addition, the sports books still have to wait for a go ahead call from the Nevada Gaming Control Board for other declarations.

According to the Chief of Enforcement Division, Nevada Gaming Control Board Karl Bennison, the potential investors have come in to reach for a go ahead signal which has prompted it to give in to their demands and asked various licensees to accept these deals even without any license of authorization.

According to what people perceived, the Board was responsible for charging vetting process, revision as well as improvement of sports betting funds. However, the law only charges sportsbook for vetting as well as the application processes.

Before the year ends, it is believed that the Board will have an opportunity of refining regulations and hence opening the doors for sports books to indulge in investment dealings with willing entities. Bennison claimed that the law has been approved; willing businesses and entrepreneurs have been brought in to the investment market where the only language spoken will be enacted from the law.

According to the speaker of the house Joe Souki, Fantasy leagues are form of gambling in that a player has to put in some cash and has a possible risk of losing the cash. He adds that the clarification of fantasy betting should be clarified by the lawmakers who have up to January when they convene to do so. Souki adds that with clear explanation on fantasy league, the participants have the freedom of doing their routine without any fear of being accused by others. When the house resumes, he would try to have a chat with the House leadership on the matter.

The initiation of the one day fantasy sports betting has been evident lately and many clients have signed in websites such as FanDuel.com and DraftKings.com for a taste of it. Moreover, these two firms have spent more than $31 million in advertising their services on TV.

Executive director of StopPredatoryGambling.org, Les Bernal claims that daily fantasy betting forms a base for everyday excitement whereas the seasonal fantasy sport betting is mainly played between workmates or friends.

The 2006 Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act claims that online poker games are unlawful but fantasy leagues were exempted. It was argued that in fantasy leagues, it is the player’s skill that that wins cash rather than basic luck. Nonetheless, opponents of this have called for mass action by the lawmakers on the subject.

Hawaii Attorney General Doug Chin has not made any comment on the matter and according to spokesperson Josh Wisch claiming that nothing has taken part in the AG’s office and hence it is not clear if the topic will be discussed in a near future.

There are several states among them Montana, Washington, Louisiana, Iowa as well as Arizona which have given fantasy leagues a go ahead. These states argue that fantasy league is based on opportunities but not skills.

However, Souki was adamant and claimed that he is not going to issue a notice to stop the fantasy league advertisements in TV as he claims that there are worse things such as cigarettes being advertised on the TV which are more dangerous than fantasy leagues.

News of Serena Williams failing to make to the 2015 U.S Open finals was roaming across the globe and may forgot about the anticipating men’s final pitying Federer and Djokovic. The final match of the men’s title saw Djokovic beating Federer 6-4, 5-7, 6-4, and 6-4 to clinch the title. The match was pushed three hours behind due to rain. Djokovic was pleased with the win and claimed that his efforts have produced enticing results this year.

The sweltering heat of the day didn’t favor Federer at all as co-coach Severin Luthi claimed that he would have preferred a hotter weather where the ball could move fast. Djokovic also could be seen uncomfortable with the weather. Federer was later to claim that he made many mistakes that cost him the title and having not played such an offensive game in the campaign, he wasn’t prepared to undertake it.

The year ends in style for Djokovic who recorded a 26-1 win of major titles. The only loss came during the French open when he went down to Stan Wawrinka. If he could have scooped the French Open title, Novak could have broken the record set by Australian Rod Laver in 1969 and become the most successful ATP player in History.

The win gives Novak a 10^th slam win with three titles to his name this season a trend that he achieved in 2011. The top four ATP men are fighting hard to break the 17 awards record set by Federer and it seems that Novak can achieve this if he wins four more titles with Nadal’s career demising day in day out.

Djokovic claimed that he would incorporate the same style he did this year which saw him scoop three titles and is now focused in surpassing Federer with his 17 major titles. Federer has never lost of late with his only loss dating back during the Wimbledon in a four set match that Djokovic won. His SABR-sneak attack by Roger- technique has been instrumental to his achievements. Despite thrashing Djokovic during the Cincinnati court events, Federer has seen a disappointing grand slam loss extending to seven loses out of eight with three years trial of scooping any grand major foreseen.

New Jersey has been hit by yet another setback on legalizing sport betting in the state after the Third Circuit Court of Appeals panel dispelled their appeal. It was on the 25^th day of August when representatives of the State were faced with a dilemma which has been onto them for four years now after a jury of three judges of the U.S Third Circuit Court of Appeal dispelled their bid to allow sports betting in both casinos and racetracks.

This is a huge blow to the State which has no any other option of appealing the case but would rather engage the “en Banc” review which stipulates that the case would be tabled across a panel of 23 judges unlike previous cases where only 3 judges took part.

The main antagonizing issue calls for a clear check up on the plan of New Jersey in adding sports betting to casinos and racetracks and if it would go against the 1992 federal ban on sports betting that was referred to as the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act (PASPA).

New Jersey claims that its attempt to incorporate sports betting was to revive the demising horse racing industry as well as Atlantic casinos that are besieged. The passing of the law four years ago prompted the NHL, MLB, NBA, NFL and NCAA moving to the caught to sue the State as they claimed that the integrity of these sports would be disrupted through match fixing and corruption and moreover this would go against the 1992 Act. The court has since then made verdicts siding with the leagues.

If the State is not accorded with the “en banc” review, it can move further up to the Supreme caught but faces a wrath after their previous attempt in 2013 failed provided the Supreme Court of the U.S only allows 1% of the petitions. They may also antechamber the Congress in changing the federal ban but this may take years.

Sen. Raymond Lesniak (D-Union) the man behind the pushing of legalization of Sports betting in the state claimed that their only left option is the Third Circuit. He hopes that this may go through as he advocated for the passing of Sports betting legalization to the State four years ago.

Betting has been faced by serious problems especially to those operators who lack the operational licenses. More often than not, these operators are tempted to indulge in illegal betting which in many nations is going against the law. However, there still some operators who operate without license and prevail. They tend to evade the huge taxes that are levied by the sports betting regulatory bodies.

It was reported that more than $145 million has been operated and transacted through illegal betting. To curb the situation, various governments have incorporated state law enforcers who go door to door to seek those who violate the law. Nonetheless, to be on the safer side, it is always advisable to acquire an operational license and avoid being on the opposite side with regulators.

On that note, the Irish betting authority has claimed that it would offer a total of 27 operating licenses to those operators working in its new regulated sports betting market. The new licenses have been granted a gross period of two years. This will now give a chance to the iGaming as well as sports betting companies to accord Irish clients with their products and their services.

The Irish Tax and Customs office issued this new list at the beginning day of September. Among the 27 betting firms in the list included the leading betting operators in the nation; Paddy Power, Boylesports as well as Matchbook. Other betting operators who are based outside the country but were accorded with the license are bet365, William Hill, Gala Coral, Betfred, Betfair and the mighty Ladbrokes. All these firms are based in the UK. 188BET, bet-at-home, Full Tilt and PokerStars are the notable international betting operators included in the list.

The new rules that were initiated on the 1^st of August claim that online casinos, gaming and bingos in the nation will be levied a 1% tax yearly to their income. Online Sports Betting on the other hand will be accorded with a 15% revenue cut. This is much less than what the UKGC of UK levies to its bookmakers.

This fresh innovation is deemed to be fundamental in the initiation of the Irish Gambling Control Bill come the year 2016 and will be the beginning of a specific betting operator.
