Jazz Sports Nightmare Continues
Monday April 6, 2026 (8:35 pm EDT)
On Monday, Gambling911.com learned that a group of customers planned to take action against Jazz Sports former owner.... in a U.S. court.
That former owner, known as "Barefoot Mike" (last name not public), insisted to Gambling911 on Monday that he sold the company and is not liable for customer debt moving forward.
Our own sources break down how the sale of Jazz Sports really went down.
Transaction Overview
“Bare Foot Mike” entered into an agreement to sell Jazz Sports to Lou (Robert) and an additional investor. The terms of the agreement included an initial payment followed by a series of installment payments.
Initial Payment and Use of Funds
Mike received the first installment payment as agreed. These funds were used to satisfy his personal tax obligations.
Again, the IRS was made whole in 2024, the year of the sale.
Modification / Forbearance of Subsequent Payments
Mike agreed to forgo or defer receipt of subsequent installment payments. This accommodation was made with the understanding that the funds would instead be used by the Jazz Team to satisfy outstanding obligations to certain third parties, described as “wiseguy and sharp players” (creditors).

More Clarity Offered on Wisconsin Sports Betting Bill Signing Timeline
Monday April 6, 2026 (10:45 am EDT)
We are learning that Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers only received a bill that would allow online sports betting statewide on Thursday April 2. As a result, we now have a firm timeline as to a deadline when the bill can be signed by the governor or vetoed.
That time frame is seven business days from the day of receipt (April 2). At the absolute latest, we are looking at April 13, but more likely the end of day April 12.
Evers did sign 33 other bills that landed on his desk last week, just not the sports betting legislation.

“Soccer’s growth, especially in North America, is spearheaded by young, diverse and multicultural audiences who consume the game across multiple screens, so it’s our goal to continue to engage these demographics in new and unique ways,” said Boris Gartner, CEO and Partner at Relevent. “It’s imperative we go beyond traditional engagement efforts in order to bring these audiences closer to the beautiful game than ever before, and we couldn’t think of a better partner than Polymarket to achieve that.”

US Lawsuit Against FanDuel and Gambling Rivals is Tossed Out
Monday April 6, 2026 (10:04 am EDT)
FanDuel, Draftkings and Caesars Sportsbook were sued in Washington DC last year by the Delaware-registered DC Gambling Recovery with the potential losses from such a suit likely to have cost each company millions of dollars.
The suit cited a 300-year-old law that - the Statute of Anne – that permits any person in the District of Columbia who has suffered a gambling loss of more than $25 (€22) in a single sitting to recoup their losses from the winning party.
The Statute of Anne allows a losing party to sue the winner for the value of losses exceeding $25.
From The Independent:
If they fail to do so within three months, the law authorises anyone to bring a claim against the winning party for treble damages, with the recovery split evenly between the suing party and the district.
“Like several states, the district has long had a law protecting gamblers against large-stakes gambling losses: the Statute of Anne,” the complaint to the court noted.
“Based on a 1710 British law passed during the reign of Queen Anne, that law makes certain gambling debts unenforceable,” it added.
“Contrary to what DC Gambling Recovery might argue, there is no constitutional or other problem with the act’s retroactive application,” lawyers for the defendants argued.
The Washington DC court sided with the gambling firms and dismissed the case.
DC Gambling Recovery, which is actually based out of Florida, claims it did not collude with any gamblers in filing the suit.
