Opportunity awaits! American law and policy makers are working on frameworks to introduce and support the legalization of sports betting.

Last week, the United States dismissed a 26-year-old federal ban on sports betting, providing an opportunity for the 50 states to reconstitute their policies to allow legal wagers on popular competitive sports. Nevada, the only state which has catered for this market for almost 26 years, has reported that Nevada Sports Books had collected $4.8 billion in wagers in 2017.

Further reports from the American Gaming Association, has estimated that illegal sports betting in the United States accounts for $150 billion in wagers each year. From the recent change in legislation, keen punters will soon have the opportunity to participate in the excitement of sports betting within a safe and open environment. Legalizing sports betting will help support the gaming community enjoy the activities of betting, but how are we going to uphold the integrity of bookkeeping? While existing online sports prediction industries have undergone rapid development, all its current underlying technologies are based on centralized algorithms, internal computing systems, and the announcement of winners.
