Snowy Monday made for slow kickoff day for in-person sports betting in St. Louis – STLPR

Starting Monday, Missourians could legally bet on sports either using mobile apps or by going in-person to casinos.
At a sparsely populated Horseshoe Casino in downtown St. Louis Monday afternoon, the Caesar’s sportsbook was mostly deserted. But St. Louis resident Rick Porter braved the snow to place a bet in person. He was already at the casino to play poker nearby.
Porter was placing a bet on Monday night’s Patriots-Giants game.
“When you’re watching the game it gives you something to cheer for,” Porter said.
He said he has driven across the river to Illinois several times to place bets, and he is glad he doesn’t have to do that anymore.
Former St. Louis Rams wide receiver Isaac Bruce bet on the same game at a DraftKings event Monday, picking the Patriots to win.
Bruce said betting can add another layer of emotion to sports for fans and athletes but advised that his fellow athletes stay focused on the game and ignore any extra pressure that might come from sports betting.
“We talk often about ignoring the outside noise,” Bruce said. “So being focused on what’s going on in your locker room, the way you play and your mission is to go out and win and perform and become a better player.”
DraftKings is one of two platforms that received an untethered license from the Missouri Gaming Commission, meaning it does not have to partner with a sports team or a casino. However, it does have a partnership with the St. Louis Blues. The other untethered license went to Circa Sports.
People can place bets electronically and at casinos around the state on several other platforms as well.
DraftKings Chief Responsible Gaming Officer Lori Kalani said she is committed to preventing problem gambling. She said she implemented a new tool called My Stat Sheet where users can view a personalized dashboard that includes time and money spent on the platform.
“We develop these tools because good experiences start with responsible decisions,” Kalani said.
Missouri Speaker of the House Jon Patterson, R-Lee’s Summit, who was in St. Louis at the DraftKings event, said much of the tax revenue from legal sports betting in the state is expected to go to public schools.
“That will help public school students get their education, have access to the help that they need, and it will help public schools,” Patterson said. “As a father of public school students, I think that’s one of the things that we really have to highlight here today.”
However, it’s unclear how much revenue schools will get.
According to the Missouri Gaming Commission, a 10% tax will be applied on the adjusted gross revenue received by sports betting. That revenue will first go to the commission to reimburse expenses incurred by regulating sports wagering.
Afterward, the greater of either $5 million or 10% of the annual tax revenues will go to the Missouri Department of Mental Health to address compulsive gambling.
The remainder of the money earned by the state will go to the Missouri Department of Education.
Missouri Gaming Commission Jan Zimmerman said it’s too soon to predict the revenue the state will see, but there are some initial estimates of between $20-28 million.

Letters for Dec. 2: Virginia Lottery should go back to smaller offerings – The Virginian-Pilot

Top Picks:
It appears that Virginia is becoming a gambling crazy state. Not too many years ago we didn’t even have a lottery. Once we started, we began to have so many ways to “invest” our money; $1 scratch tickets have exploded to $50-plus tickets.
Now we’re opening casinos in Portsmouth, Norfolk and who knows how many other cities.
I must admit that I play the lottery, occasionally, although not too successfully.
With all of the forms of gambling we are taking billions of dollars out of our economy, that could be going to more useful items, such as food, housing and retirement.
I’m not saying do away with the lottery, but let’s go back to a much smaller offering. We can still have a little hope without losing the farm.
Dick Jones, Virginia Beach
Re “A helping hand” (Our Views, Nov. 28): I was pleased to see the editorial encouraging readers to make room in their holiday budgets for contributions to local nonprofits. I was surprised, however, that the editorial did not mention Giving Tuesday.
Created to counterbalance the commercial frenzy of Black Friday and Cyber Monday, Giving Tuesday invites all of us to restore philanthropy to the forefront of what we often call the “Season of Giving.”
Hampton Roads is a uniquely generous community for its size and demographics. All around us, hundreds of nonprofits — many operating on very lean budgets — are feeding hungry families, protecting our environment, supporting neighbors in crisis and enriching our region’s cultural life — thanks to the support of donors and volunteers.
Although this year’s official Giving Tuesday falls on Dec. 2, my hope is that those who are able will embrace its spirit by supporting the organizations they care about — through financial contributions, volunteering their time and practicing acts of kindness not just today, but throughout the season and all year long.
Virginia Thumm, Virginia Fundraising Consultants, Norfolk
I am no fan of tolls or their regular increases. Like most Virginians, all I can do is deal with it.
However, several days ago, I had the occasion to call Virginia EZ-Pass to straighten out a minor hiccup with my account.
I spoke with a customer service representative named Amy and must say that she was a helpful, pleasant and delightful person to deal with, going above and beyond to deliver great customer service.
EZ-Pass Virginia should be proud of Amy’s commitment to her job.
Jimmy Frost, Virginia Beach
The liberals who write in are entitled to their own opinions, but not their own facts. This latest shutdown was 100% a Democratic shutdown.
Republicans in the House passed a continuing resolution. One Senate Democrat joined with Republicans to vote for the continuing resolution. Unfortunately for the American people enough Democrats voted no so the continuing resolution failed. This is the same continuing resolution the Democrats voted for more than a dozen times when former President Joe Biden was in office. Why? Because the temporary COVID-19 health care premium subsidies are expiring at the end of 2025.
The Democrats voted for these subsidies to expire when they started. The need for the subsidies is in large part due to the “Unaffordable” Care Act aka Obamacare. I believe the goal of Obamacare was to destroy private insurance and force everyone into government-run health care exchanges. Health care premiums have not been reduced; they have more than doubled in many cases. Instead of working on real solutions to solve health care costs, Democrats want to punish the American people with high health care premiums in the hopes of getting votes.
I hope the voters remember when they go to the polls in 2026 it was the Democrats who shut down the government.
