DC Council Delays Decision On Sports Betting Operator

The DC Council "put off a decision" on whether to "skip competitive bidding and award a sole source contract for management of the city's new venture into sports betting." After the Council approved legal sport betting last month, members yesterday said that they wanted to give the "public time to weigh in." DC Lottery officials, who will oversee the program, have "advocated skipping the competitive-bidding process to select a vendor to set up online platforms." Instead, they "want the city to negotiate a contract with Intralot, the company that operates the city’s lottery" (WASHINGTON POST, 1/9).
