Interactive Wagering

Sports betting exchanges allow customers to wager against each other rather than against a sportsbook, creating a market where odds are set by supply and demand. This session explains how exchange wagering works, how it differs from traditional sportsbooks, and why liquidity, pricing, and commission-based revenue matter. The discussion focuses on regulatory considerations, market integrity, and the strategic questions tribes should evaluate before considering whether the exchange model aligns with their gaming objectives.
