Lights adorn Allegiant Stadium, new home of the Las Vegas Raiders football team, as it nears completion Wednesday, July 22, 2020, in Las Vegas.
Now, the NFL is betting big on the once taboo industry, loosening its gambling policies just as the finishing touches were being made at Allegiant Stadium, the Raidersā spiffy new home within earshot of the neon-soaked Las Vegas Strip.
āThereās sports betting, thereās daily fantasy, thereās casinos, so thereās a lot of different aspects to these businesses,ā said Mac Freeman, the Broncosā chief commercial officer.
āI think what youāll find with us carving those first tracks through the field youāll see other teams follow pretty quickly as states come onā board with sports gambling, Freeman said.
āNo, we are not able to sort of participate in the actual betting volumes or revenue generated,ā Freeman said.
