So betting has been legalized in the United states. Now, what's Riots thoughts on it? Will we now see official betting on games?

It's a whole new world everywhere in the U.S. except Nevada.

Some of our pro sports leagues behind the scenes have been trying to get laws passed where they get an "integrity fee" for every bet placed on their games even as heretofore publicly they've been lukewarm on the idea at best, hostile at worst. The NCAA (that's our college sports regulatory agency for our European guests) is up in arms. High school sports are regulated by the states so who knows whether betting will be allowed on them. We've had betting on horse racing for quite some time as the law didn't cover animal sports. Nevada was grandfathered in.

Now for the 64,000 dollar question. Will this lead to widespread betting on lol? Well Vegas has a ton of statistics guys that set the odds to guarantee they make money. The goal is to get an even amount of money on each side of the bet. Deviate from that and they stand to lose money. Will the amount of action they could get for lol be sufficient to bother hiring a bunch of statistics guys to do that for them in lol? I don't think so at the moment.
