The Story
Vermont looks to join Rhode Island, New Hampshire, and other New England states on the sports gambling fever sweeping the US. Senators Michael Sirotkin and Richard Sears drafted their sports gambling bill, S.213, and pre-filed it last week, hoping to see the state capture some of the revenue that is currently going to other states and the black market. The legislation creates almost exclusively a mobile industry, given that the state has no existing casinos or gambling facilities of any kind.

The gaming and eSports collision started to gain traction in 2014 and became really prevalent in 2015. The viewership has really bought the industry in line with its popularity. The Esports wagering industry in 2015 was close to $5.6bn and this year it’s set to be $13bn, and that’s only registered wagering revenue so it’s just the tip of the iceberg. Revenue estimates from ESIC and gaming operators suggest the unregulated eSport betting market could be 12 times higher than the regulated market.

Congratulations to Griffin Paul for winning the WPT500 title in Los Angeles and taking home $174,850! Paul also bagged a prestigious record in the process, having already won a WPT Main Event as well. Craig Varnell has previously been the only one to achieve the seemingly impossible milestone of winning both a WPT500 Main Event and a WPT Main Event.
