I’ll believe it when I don’t see that geolocation shite pop up on the app.

It is 100% only Draftkings. Yahoo pulled out and FanDuel is hoping to have their stuff ready for next vote - August 19th.

I've been a little out of the loop, does this include DFS?

Only DFS. LINK
Click on the agenda. Last item. I can’t post a screenshot. They did extensive background checks on 19 DK employees.

Sports betting will not be in place by football season

Wish there was a way for us to watch or listen to the meeting. It odd they did extensive background checks on 19 employees when I am assuming that DK has thousands of employees. Wonder what made those 19 standout.

I wish DK would be available today for the Open tomorrow.

It was President. VP. Senior VP. CEO. COO. Head of marketing. All attorneys involved. And some others.
Louisiana is the only state to do this. It is the same if you are building a casino to have people play games vs the house.

Draftkings is currently in the Gaming Board meeting.
Posted on 7/15/21 at 12:20 pm to tzimme4
Is this supposed to wrap up today, or is it scheduled to be a multi-day affair?

BOSTON, July 15, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- DraftKings Inc. (Nasdaq: DKNG) today announced that it has received a DFS license from the Louisiana Gaming Control Board and its daily fantasy sports product will soon be live in approved parishes in Louisiana. With this launch, Louisiana will officially become the 44th state in the United States to offer DraftKings daily fantasy sports, which today spans dozens of sports from NFL, MLB and NBA to Australian Football and various eSports. Home to three major professional sports franchises as well as multiple D-I collegiate programs, Louisiana fans will now have ample opportunities to compete across their favorite sports through DraftKings’ signature second-screen experience.
We about to be live boys. This has been a journey.

When would we be able to bet? In time for Olympics or after that?
Posted on 7/15/21 at 1:36 pm to PenguinPubes
Advocate article says as early as tonight. Might be able to get some showdown action for the Open Championship this weekend.
