The Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians made history last week as the new sportsbook at its Pearl River Resort became the first tribal sportsbook in the US to open with a system certified by GLI's landmark GLI-33 Event-Wagering Technical Standard.
At the request of the Choctaw Gaming Commission, GLI assisted the commission’s technical and auditing staff with on-site support to verify the internal controls and installation configuration of IGT’s Margin-Maker event-wagering system to GLI-33 standards. This helped ensure a flawless go-live of the sportsbook’s system from the moment the first wager was placed.
Additionally, sports-wagering experts from GLI University provided two and a half days of on-site training on the various aspects of sports wagering, from a technical, regulatory and operational perspective.
