A sports betting law that was enacted earlier this year in Florida was struck down in federal district court, halting wagering on games in the state. In a decision that was handed down late Monday, Judge Dabney Friedrich ruled that Florida's deal to give exclusive sports betting rights to the Seminole Tribe, [https://divinews.com/wp-includes/pages/rishabh_pant_net_worth__personal_life.html webpage] essentially forming a monopoly on the industry in the state, was ruled to violate federal Indian gaming law. Since Nov. 1, Florida residents had been allowed to make wagers on a betting app run by the Seminole Tribe. While the server for the betting app was on tribal lands, bettors had been able to place wagers anywhere in the state. "When a federal statute authorizes an activity only at specific locations, parties may not evade that limitation by 'deeming' their activity to occur where it, as a factual matter, does not," Friedrich wrote in her judgment. In 2019, Florida voters decided against sports betting in the state. The Seminole Tribe then forged ahead with its own deal through the state legislature in a pact that was [https://www.groundreport.com/?s=approved approved] by the state's department of the interior. "We'll support whatever we can do to validate the compact," Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said Tuesday. "We anticipated this could happen." The terms of the deal required the Seminole Tribe to pay $2.5 billion to the state of Florida over a five-year span to be an exclusive sports wagering operator. The deal also allowed the tribe to add craps and roulette to casino operations, but those activities have been halted as well. Sports wagering giants like FanDuel and DraftKings currently are working toward getting voter approval in Florida for mobile sports betting operations in the future. --Field Level Media

AB-Inbev Bets On New Barley Variants To Boost African Beer-making...

By Wendell Roelf CALEDON, South Africa, Nov 18 (Reuters) - South African Breweries (SAB), part of Anheuser Busch InBev, is betting new drought-resistant barley varieties will help it maintain record annual production in its major domestic beer market and meet demand elsewhere on the continent, officials said. The world's largest brewer is betting hi-tech natural cultivars and enhanced farming techniques in Africa will eliminate barley and malt shortages dampening expansion plans. "No barley, no beer. So, absolutely critical to have a sustainable supply chain of barley," said Josh Hammann, Africa director for agriculture development and sustainability at AB InBev in Africa. Scientists say dryer conditions in South Africa due to global warming could diminish barley production in Caledon, the country's main growing area, where AB Inbev also converts barley into malt at its flagship 180,000 tonne factory. Malt is currently imported from Europe only when local production volumes do not [https://abcnews.go.com/search?searchtext=meet%20quality meet quality] parameters or if there is a crop failure due to drought. But, the long-term plan is to eventually export larger quantities of malt as barley harvests yield more, with Africa the main export target market, said company officials. By using drought-resistant barley and improved agronomics, Hammann said AB Inbev surpassed a target of reaching 475,000 metric tonnes of barley output by 2021, with a record harvest of 560,000 tonnes achieved in the 2020 season when rains were good. "It's very important for us as AB Inbev to localise our production and our raw materials... to help mitigate against global risks," Hammann told Reuters at a barley research farm in Caledon, about 110 km (68 miles) from Cape Town, where wind-swept barley fields ripening for October's harvest stretch as far as the eye can see. Researchers are also experimenting with new maize, sorghum and cassava crop cultivars to meet burgeoning spirit brewing prospects in Tanzania, Uganda and Mozambique. Scientists are excited about their latest barley cultivar, Kadie, [https://www.yourselfquotes.com/earn-money-playing-games/ site] which has a high-yield potential, a high percentage of kernel plumpness and ripens quicker than other varieties in dry lands. "It's quick, it's short and has the X-factor," Daniel de Klerk, a barely breeder at the research institute, said of the new variety. Kadie might be considered for use in Budweiser and if successfully tested could become the first African barley variety used for the popular American brew, officials said.

Dish Teams Up With DraftKings For Boost Mobile Partnership

id="article-body" class="row" section="article-body" data-component="trackCWV"> Sarah Tew/CNET Wireless plans often come with perks: AT&T offers HBO Max. Verizon has a bevy of options including Disney Plus. T-Mobile offers Netflix. For its new addition, Dish-owned Boost Mobile isn't going with a traditional streaming video service; on Wednesday it announced a new deal with sports betting and fantasy sports provider DraftKings. As part of the deal, Boost Mobile customers will be able to sign up for contests on the DraftKings platform, described as exclusive. With the NBA Playoffs underway, an early promotion exclusive for Boost Mobile users will let them play in an NBA Finals contest to guess the total number of points scored over the course of the series for a chance to win $100,000 (with the pot shared among the winners in the event of a tie). The contest opens on June 11, with entries due by the start of the Finals on July 8. Get the CNET Mobile newsletter Find the best phones, apps and accessories with our CNET Mobile newsletter. Delivered Tuesdays and Thursdays. In states where DraftKings' sports betting is legalized, the wireless provider will be offering a free $50 Sportsbook bet to new users with a deposit of $5 and placement of their first bet. The carrier is also offering new DraftKings daily fantasy [https://www.rt.com/search?q=sports%20players sports players] a free $3 "ticket" to a DraftKings contest when they deposit $5 and enter a paid contest. Both of these promotions will require a promo code that will be available in its stores. In states like New Jersey where DraftKings offers a Sportsbook and daily fantasy app, only the promotion for the Sportsbook will be available. "We try to go where the big carriers are too conservative to go," Stephen Stokols, executive vice president of Boost Mobile, tells CNET. "I don't think you'll see Verizon doing something in a betting space," and suggests that his company's wireless rival may be beholden to a "corporate sort of, like, political correctness." He adds that his company is thinking of incorporating additional ways to get Boost Mobile users DraftKings credit, such as offering bonuses for doing tasks like paying a wireless bill on time or referring a friend to switch to the carrier. "We're trying to make the wireless experience a little more fun," Stokols says. "It's called sports entertainment ... we're trying to make it more entertaining, kind of really give an extension of the wireless service into that space." Although there is a commercial deal between the two companies, Stokols says that Boost will not be getting a cut of what its customers spend on DraftKings. Beyond the exclusive contests and [https://www.yourselfquotes.com/earn-money-playing-games/ site] credits, Boost Mobile will also be turning "many thousands" of its branded stores across the country into locations where DraftKings users -- regardless of if they also have the carrier's service-- can deposit cash in person as opposed to having to transfer funds into the app electronically through a debit or credit card. While DraftKings players won't be able to cash out winnings at Boost stores today, Stokols says that adding that feature is "on the road map." The move is the latest as Dish continues to develop into a wireless provider after it acquired Boost Mobile and other wireless assets from T-Mobile . Boost Mobile currently runs on T-Mobile's cellular network. Dish is expected to start turning on its own 5G offering later this year. Las Vegas will be the [https://data.gov.uk/data/search?q=company%27s company's] first city when it goes live in the third quarter of the year, with Stokols teasing that "multiple" additional cities will come online in the fourth quarter. He would not, however, say which cities those will be.
