In an emerging trend, Arizona passed a bill this week allowing professional teams to obtain sports betting licenses in partnerships with sportsbooks. I wrote about this recent phenomenon in Arizona and elsewhere this morning on @ForbesSports forbes.com/sites/andrewjs…

On our firm's website, I wrote about non-fungible tokens (with a focus on NBA Top Shot), and discussed potential legal implications to come.

March is the most wonderful time of year for many sports fans. But while the professional leagues have embraced legal sports wagering in recent years, the NCAA has remained on the sidelines. I wrote about it this morning in @ForbesSports forbes.com/sites/andrewjs…

On @ForbesSports this morning, I discussed how a new class action by Madden, FIFA, and NHL gamers could result in legal developments on the consumer arbitration front. forbes.com/sites/andrewjs…

@BillySmoller @tony_domestico @RedSox Going to have to get used to it :(

@asilverdc @tony_domestico He’s not on the @RedSox it’s Desi Relevant. (Ok I’m miserable. It’s like watching highlights of your ex’s wedding)

Why can't we get players like that? cc @asilverdc

@nydavey It would be good for revenue, and hopefully soon! Although in CA, the deadline just passed for it to get on the ballot this year, which would likely be necessary there.

@asilverdc Andrew, just read your article in @Forbes on $DKNG. When do you think states like NY, CT, CA will make it legal to allow mobile sports betting? States need the extra tax revenues, don’t they?

This morning for @ForbesSports I wrote about sports gaming businesses that made surprisingly strong debuts trading on public markets in recent months, and identified a few more that could be next forbes.com/sites/andrewjs…

My latest piece for @ForbesSports on how sports bettors have pivoted to alternatives such as skill gaming, esports, online poker, and horse racing while most sports have been on hiatus forbes.com/sites/andrewjs…

I shared some thoughts on Forbes.com on the NCAA supporting rules for student-athletes to benefit from third-party endorsements starting next year, including a discussion of potential "game inregrity" benefits, as it relates to sports wagering forbes.com/sites/andrewjs…

@alanwilmotlaw Completely agree -- that's another area where the illegal market has a competitive edge.

Low tax rates are great, but unless the state's laws also allow for mobile/peer-to-peer and don't place restrictions on potential offerings (i.e. no betting on in-state colleges/no esports), whatever regulations put in place will greatly limit the state's maximum revenue
