Missouri, Ohio Eye Sports Betting Royalty Fees

A sports betting bill sponsored by Missouri state Rep. Cody Smith (l.) includes a 1 percent royalty—formerly called an integrity fee. Three-quarters would go to professional leagues and one-quarter to the NCAA. State Senator Denny Hoskins' sports betting bill would require sports books to pay one-half percent of handle into an Entertainment Facilities Infrastructure Fund. And an Ohio lawmaker is looking to do the same in that state.
