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?

They are somewhat doing it not directly though. You see a lot of top teams are having as their sponsor some of the biggest casinos, both FIAT and cryptocurrencies so that is the way to support the sport leagues I believe by supporting any of their teams. There are even second category teams that are directly sponsored by such casinos so this is not only an isolated case that happens only in top tier leagues and teams. I don't think that casinos can directly pay a dividend to the leagues as this would go against the law in most cases, most people would already start to believe that the casino operators may have a go at deciding how a game will end, a lot of people are already accusing them now that are only doing sponsorship, imagine what these people would say when they are firm constant contributors to such leagues.
