All the Deluxe Resorts used to have these kids clubs...which made so much sense. Miss them,!

I was curious, so I did a bit of research. Sounds like it's a licensing deal: "The 10-year, $1.5 billion deal with ESPN gives PENN access to ESPN personalities and channels, which include live sports, studio shows, and written articles." https://sportshandle.com/penn-2023-q2-earnings-espn-bet/

I'm not privy to their contract talks, but I would assume there's some level of revenue sharing involved.

SoFloMagicFeb 27, 2024

Ah ok. So partial ownership but no revenue sharing?

CompedFeb 27, 2024

Disney can own up to I think 15% of Penn, the people they're signing the deal with, and can get a couple of seats on the board.

If only they hadn't led the charge on an amendment that made expansions of gambling in Florida virtually impossible. And against the amendment that would have legalized online sports books in FL But also, isnt espnbet just a licensing agreement? Not sure they have actual skin in the game on profits

Just turn it in a ESPN sports bar along with the gambling aspect they are involved with at this time
