William Hill Statement on Supreme Court’s Decision

WILLIAM HILL (@WilliamHillUS) STATEMENT ON SUPREME COURT’S DECISION CLEARING THE WAY FOR THE EXPANSION OF LEGAL SPORTS BETTING

“We are excited, not just for ourselves, but for sports fans across the country.

We’ve been working towards this day for a long time and take great satisfaction in the Supreme Court’s decision.

Just as we have with our 100+ locations in Nevada, we look forward to working to make legal and regulated sports betting a big winner for consumers, state governments and all interested parties across the country.  If we do this the right way, the only losers will be the illegal bookies that have been operating a massive black market.

We’re going to get ready to open for business at Monmouth Park as soon as responsibly possible.”

– Joe Asher, CEO of William Hill US
