Illegal offshore casinos connected to bad countries are growing- no taxes collected and no regs. Arkansas has had horses on phone since ‘14 and sports since ‘22. Changing rule to allow games of chance on phone + law enforcement displaces bad guys and raises a lot of new tax

@carltontsaffa @SaracenCasinoAR Can you summarize the issue in like 500 words or less so we can get caught up in the very basics of what’s going? Or point me in the direction of the most unbiased objective write up of how this is playing out?

So last night we paid a buncha bets we didn’t have to. Voided (refunded) a bunch of money we could have kept. Since we don’t yet have the okay on 50/50 rolling… …maybe consider taking some of that chunk we chose to pay out on Arkansas/UAPB and give it to @ArkansasEdgeNIL

Ok. So- was the “UA doesn’t need NIL money” because of the pending $500k from Oaklawn? Saracen has proposed an ongoing stream of revenue that will throw off millions. And not just to the UA, but the other schools as well. The $500k is great- but will not even cover 1 month

What can a 50/50 drawing do? Alberta has 4.3M people. They do online 50/50. Take a look at these winnings. Remember, in 50/50, the winner gets the same as would the cause, in this case the NIL. Arkansas has 3M people. Even if we did half or a quarter of these numbers- wow.

1. I’m getting old. I have a daughter old enough to take to a dance and actually dance? 2. I still am in disbelief that 7 year olds get braces, and this is considered normal.

Question I was asked repeatedly by the press today- how much can an online 50/50 raise? We can look to Alberta, 4.3M people. They run 50/50 drawings in province only. Arkansas is 3M people. 50/50 would be in state only. Checks to winner same as check to cause (here, NIL)

A sports betting app is basically if you merged the following all in to one: Robinhood, your bank app, your credit card app, PayPal, a digital ID, and a really strict map app. But @BetSaracen is ready and awaiting App Store and payment processor final approvals. Here’s a look:

I still remember 2006, driving all over the state putting up signs. A lot has changed in Arkansas since then, but not my boss @AsaforAR , he’s still the same dependable conservative he’s always been. 12 years later, I’m still proud to put his sign up.

If the haters blocking Saracen’s iGaming/NIL proposal believe it’s illegal, then let’s have a hearing to discuss it. I am confident & willing to have this conversation anywhere anytime. One casino desperately avoiding a hearing on Rule 5- b/c the facts are not on their side.

PS- all this waiting and stalling hurts NIL programs statewide. It is disgusting. Teams will lose players and lose games because people in the casino business don’t want to compete and would prefer to block. Let’s have a rule hearing. Air this out and have a vote. Why not?

Open question for sports bettors online: @BetSaracen wasn’t first. We held to product to get it right. Launched in May 2022. Our friends at @betlysportsbook beat us to launch by a few weeks. Anyone recall when Oaklawn launched its sports app? Maybe, just maybe they’re not ready

“But the point is that the state allowed three casinos to provide online sports betting, and I thought only of ⁦ @BetSaracen ⁩ —not at all of Oaklawn or Southland. Saracen’s dominance may bear a great deal on the rest of what I’m going to tell you.”

So they’re on the record that objections to NIL money 50/50 rely on dubious claims about charity raffles (never mind that Rule 5 doesn’t say raffles & casinos aren’t charities). DFA hung their hat exclusively on ACA 23-114-401. That dog don’t hunt. Let’s have a hearing. #arpx

PS - if you’d call me, after you get your account unhacked, I’ll walk you through the process the UA has been working on for years, unsuccessfully, to try to do a 50-50. And how we found a way, a way even sports illustrated is covering.

I’m not going to call for a boycott. But they are the vocal opposition to our common sense plan. We’d hoped to have had NIL 50/50s ready for the game in LR. Oaklawn’s delay tactics are costing the 🐗 much-needed NIL money. And the state is losing tax dollars to offshore casinos.

When folks don’t have the facts on their side they turn to burner accounts to bash. Dependable as hell. Question is are the burners from the Chinese casinos we’re targeting or in-state folks who oppose what Saracen is trying to do to help the NIL? Both on same side now #arpx

This. This is what an online 50/50 for NIL can do. Unreal. In this instance it’s Alberta. With only 1M more people than Arkansas. I have to admit we underestimated the size of these pots. The checks to winners would be same as check to NIL. 🤯 #arpx

I know the UA wants and needs the money. Kevin- the question is who is telling the Capitol they don’t need it. And why? UA Athletic Dept and UA System have been supportive. Someone is sabotaging the NIL play. Motive?

Recent Facebook live videos from Jan Morgan= we need less regulation in this state!!!! Days later, Jan decides massive new regulation is the answer (PBMs). It’s never this simple. The answer requires a balance. Red meat politics is easy. Sound policymaking much harder.
