The American Gaming Association (AGA), which submitted a letter to Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer last week claiming that states should have the right to determine policy as it relates to sports betting, is also slated to testify during that hearing.
Schumer said late last month that he was looking to review a federal framework for regulating legalized sports wagering following a landmark Supreme Court ruling that abolished decades long prohibition.
According to ESPN.com's Darren Rovell, Schumer is calling for the individual sports leagues involved to determine what types of bets will be accepted, and this would likely result in demand for a controversial integrity fee. Translation: Royalties to the leagues.
The NFL and AGA will likely be joined by a representive from Sheldon Adelson's Las Vegas Sands LLC. Adelson over the years has advocated against legalized online gambling in the United States.
