ACC Adding Injury Reports to Help Curb Sports Betting Issues

The Atlantic Coast Conference is adding injury reports before conference games beginning with the upcoming football season, ACC Commissioner Jim Phillips said Tuesday.

Circa Applies for Untethered Missouri Sports Betting License

Circa Sports is joining FanDuel and DraftKings in pursuit of an untethered sports betting license in Missouri.

The problem? There are only two of these licenses up for grabs ahead of the state’s market launch on Dec. 1.
