Abstract

The article focuses on the complexities of sports betting regulation, particularly the interactions between major sportsbooks and federally recognized Indian Tribes, which operate as sovereign nations. In states like Arizona, both Tribal entities and major sportsbooks can offer sports betting, leading to competition and legal disputes. A recent case in Minnesota highlighted the challenges of suing Tribal entities due to their sovereign immunity, as a competitor, Running Aces, attempted to sue individuals associated with Tribal casinos under the federal Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) but was dismissed for failing to include the Tribes as indispensable parties. The article suggests that similar legal challenges may arise in the context of Tribal sports betting, where competitors may struggle to regulate Tribal enterprises without consent.
