On this week's Vegas PBS' Nevada week, they talk sports betting, oversight.
Mobile betting is on the rise and logging into app gets your physical location noted. One regulator/oversight guy talked about being able to notify 93 of the 96 registered sports books (in 37 states, plus WDC) of any nefarious/suspicious activities and get those events under control. (Nevada does not require oversight, but those sportsbooks that don't feel they have a handle on things.)
So they are able to determine if a bet is coming from a team facility, etc., which can start an investigation.
Also looks at the impact of expanding betting from just Nevada. Before Supreme Court ruling, Nevada had about $4B hand (the amount bet). It's now up to $9B. They are expecting the 2024 Super Bowl, hosted in Las Vegas, to set records for betting.
