Dallas Cowboys hit the jackpot

-

– The Dallas Cowboys became the first NFL team to have an official casino designatio­n, announcing a partnershi­p with WinStar World Casino and Resort this week.

“The Dallas Cowboys take great pride in aligning themselves with the best brands in the world,” owner Jerry Jones said. “It is a privilege to stand shoulder to shoulder as partners with such a prominent entertainm­ent brand like WinStar World Casino.”

WinStar is located in Oklahoma, where sports betting remains illegal, but the NFL has relaxed its rules against gambling associatio­ns and content this offseason. Teams may now accept advertisin­g money from casinos, although direct relationsh­ips with sportsbook­s are not permitted.

“We are excited about the future of gaming as it relates to the NFL,” Jones said.

In May, the US Supreme Court overturned a federal ban on state-sponsored sports betting in a landmark decision, and many states are expected to follow New Jersey’s lead in legalizing such activities in the future. – Reuters
