Mobile Sports Betting On Full Display For Browns-Giants

Last night's Browns-Giants exhibition at MetLife Stadium for fans was the "first NFL game in the U.S. with the opportunity to place a legal wager from the comfort of their seats inside the stadium -- on their phones." Last week, DraftKings "entered the sports betting world as well, releasing a mobile betting app" and giving new Jersey residents the "ability to bet on sports from anywhere inside the state." The duration of the Giants-Browns game was "shown on one of the six big televisions inside the FanDuel sportsbook, and betting was available before the game, along with a halftime line." Per DraftKings, there were "no restrictions for mobile betting at MetLife, and in-game wagering was available until late in the fourth quarter" (ESPN.com, 8/9).
