NFL owners vote to allow physical sportsbooks at stadiums to take bets during games

With 33 states currently allowing legal sports gambling, roughly 17 NFL franchises will be permitted to host on-site sportsbooks

NFL owners voted Monday to let physical sportsbooks to operate at the league's stadiums beginning in 2023 during the league's annual owner's meetings in Scottsdale, Ariz., according to a report by The Athletic. The new resolution will allow teams to have brick-and-mortar sportsbooks at stadiums in states where sports gambling is currently legalized.

With 33 states currently allowing legal sports gambling, roughly 17 https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/ franchises will be permitted to host on-site sportsbooks, the revenue from which they will be able to keep up to a certain threshold -- believed to be up to $20 million -- before the revenue is pooled and shared with the league's other 31 teams.

Because bets will theoretically be placed not just on the home team -- and because there is an equity concern that teams in states that continue to ban sports gambling will be at a disadvantage -- revenue from sportsbooks beyond a certain threshold of revenue will be shared, unlike most forms of non-national revenues (Sponsorships, etc.) that teams have.

Presently, the https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/teams/WAS/washington-commanders/ are the only team in the NFL that has a physical sportsbook within their stadium. However, the https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/teams/ARI/arizona-cardinals/ have a sportsbook just outside of their venue, as does MetLife Stadium, which is home to both the https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/teams/NYG/new-york-giants/ and https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/teams/NYJ/new-york-jets/.

The vote to allow physical sportsbooks at NFL stadiums continues the league's embracing of legalized sports gambling that has followed the Supreme Court lifting bans on sports gambling in most of the country.

Let the bankruptcy begin

I live in California which has not yet legalized sports betting, but I am happy for sports bettors in the lucky few states.

I'm in Cali too. In Oxnard.

It's best to avoid alcohol when gambling in public.

Cut and paste the article from espn, great job

A wise sage once told me when I was a kid some twenty years ago as he was calling in his bet to his bookie during a game that when I am his age every bar will have legal sports betting kiosks and it will be common for families to come to a sports bar, order food and drink and gamble to see if they are paying double for it or its on the house. That will be a fun Saturday evening for a lot of families. He called it the degeneracy of America. Much like the Romans it will be a root to a lot of corruption and problems in society. He isn't far off and I got to say I am excited about it but worry at the same time.

NFL hasn't been a contested sport for decades. For men it has degenerated into what soap operas are for women. 

The owners are in bed with the gambling industry and the games are decided by bum calls and noncalls according to whichever outcome pads the books' bottomline. 

A harsh lesson awaits the NFL...never crap where you eat. 

Thanks for the infotmation...

 I didn't event the thing...how else would you have suggested I post the information about this topic.

This really is an excellent post. Prime example of Rome on fire. Montana has their sports betting Kiosks all over the state even at the local pizzari. I wonder if all these books will be offering Live Betting?? Can you imagine the "RUSH to the Window in game " 

Would our Founding Father's imagine freedom at it's very immoral core?? 

The "Times are a changin"...

When I was growing up in the 70's, Maryland started their first lottery. It was $50K, a drawing every Saturday...

By the end of the century, there's 2 daily drawings of a 3-digit number a 4-digit number. Every bar has keno from 6am - 2am or something like that, and don't forget the scratch off lottery tickets. I assume eventually keno & scratch offs will be in the school system, why not get them when they're young? Casinos are now legal there as well if your not into the lottery as in most states. On-line sports books just started this year there.

Weed was illegal in every state then as well. Originally, it was medicinal marijuana, that's like the buy-in in a poker game. A few years later, it's either legalized or on the path in most states...

This has a name and it's called "gradualism" - definition: a policy of gradual reform rather than sudden change or revolution. Seems to be a whole lot of gradualism going on...

One has to assume cocaine is next. Hey, it makes you feel good, just like all this other stuff, why not make it legal?

Adults can handle reefer,coke should never be legal. jmo The thing that gets me about legalized gambling is the zeal in which they try to separate people from their money.Adds on tv & radio for 10 game parlays, in game wagering and using celebs and retired athletes who probably do have some money they don't need.MGM commercial on the radio does not even call it gambling it's " wagertainment". Gonna be a heavy price to be paid in coming years by a lot of people. My guess is that after some time most people will come to learn that for the most part it's a losing proposition.

Can we agree that the reefer today is night and day compared to before it was legalized? That sh*t is too strong now. Gonna be a lot of zombies in 20-30 years. 

I believe I have short term memory damage from the old stuff. New stuff 5-8x stronger. That's not gonna end well either...

Same way they're putting their heads in the sand with starting to let college athletes get paid.  Don't misunderstand me...there is nothing more absurd than those colleges like Bama and Tennessee putting 100k plus people in the stands and all the television contract money and the labor doesn't get compensated??  In ten years the overwhelming feeling will be 'how did they ever get away with that for as long as they did??'   THAT BEING SAID......the notion that a center covered in mud n blood without two nickels to rub together snapping the ball to a QB with millions in NIL deals isn't going to cause insurmountable levels of resentment??  Yeah,  OK.  Sure.  They're printing money so they don't care.....they probably figure they'll cross that bridge when they get to it.  Make no mistake....give it a few years it's going to be a disaster.

@Killer_B

Yep, we can tell nobody is home now which is why the takeover is so easy. Nobody takes an interest in civic affairs. Society is decadent, uh men can have babies and compete in sports and chix with dix pretend to be women hmmmm. They are pushing insanity on all of us...sheesh, see what Canada has become...that is our future.
