Tennessee Handing Out Fines to Books

It's hard to believe they even allow it here, if it had not been for the lottery board/commission whatever they call it this State would never have allowed it.
Took years to get the lottery and now with the revenue it generates and the politicians still patting themselves on the back while putting loads of money in their pocket from lobbies.
The lottery board has a lot of influence in the state that can be seen just by letting sports gambling in, it also lets the so called Christian politicians off the hook.

Tennessee regulators announced Wednesday that both Barstool Sportsbook and Hard Rock Sportsbook have been fined for violating rules tethered to their sports betting scene.

It's the latest hammer dropped by the Tennessee Sports Wagering Advisory Council, which has been one of the more active regulatory bodies in the country at holding their sports betting providers to account. In 2022, the SWAC fined Barstool, BetMGM, Betly, Caesars Sportsbook, DraftKings, SuperBook, Wagr, WynnBET and Tennessee Action 24/7

Tennessee players tell me KYC checks are not always done. I can see a HUGE fine coming for one or two books to get the message across to do it for everyone.

Will bring big local media headlines

The politicians have found a way to have gambling and get their money.
Then get these headlines to keep the Christian Right voting for them to stop it.
Why not just say we need the revenue and it's here to stay, they afraid of being voted out. Hypocrisy at it's best

If you can't take a horse to water, and make it drink.......how the hell can you take a politician to corruption without punishment and make them stop?

They're the biggest crooks on the planet and they do the biddings of their masters and get rich doing it. Until the people en masse see a reason to stop it.......I digress to....nothing.
