Do you think that sport leagues should be incentivized by sportsbooks and casinos since after all sport leagues are the ones who make it possible for sportsbooks and casinos to profit from its bettors. Do you think that casinos should pay back the sport leagues? Sport leagues may even consider being more considerate to gamblers and allow platforms to have the most accurate data for gamblers to see.

On the other hand, being incentivized might push sport leagues into being biased. Since a lot more money is on the line, more match fixings might be created. But what about you? Do you see the pros and cons of having sport leagues benefit from sports betting?
If you consider paying these leagues some percentages because bettors bet on the outcome of the matches played, maybe these casinos should also consider paying some incentives to other non-sport platforms like politics and other events people bet on.

There is no need for this; the partnerships they enter into via promotions are quite enough. It would be greedy for the leagues to feel entitled to gambling profits.

I also don't see the need for sportsbooks to pay sports leagues. The revenue that those leagues get from sponsorship of different brands is already enough.

It will just ruin the sportsbetting industry if gamblers found out that the games are rigged and there is match fixing happening behind the scene. No gamblers would make a bet on sportsbetting platforms if it were to happen.
Some ideas are better left unsaid. We are already talking about the decreased passion in some sports players and management as everything is now being driven by money instead of pure passion and talent we all knew in the past. Now, infusing gambling into sports and making the management teams see more monetary value in gambling will ruin everything for the the sport leagues. There should never be any of those profit sharing partnerships between the casinos and the sport leagues.
