The app sucks and the city isn’t making much money. They likely could have made more by just licensing out gambling to national providers like FanDuel, Draft Kings, and Barstool.

And it cost taxpayers $250M to build the shitty app. The shitty app was built by a councilman’s brother I believe. Pure corruption.

"cost" Only two people have lost money running a casino: Donald Trump and DC.
Some day the transcripts of the chats will come out with "Consulting fees" and "carry out receipts" and "bribes... I mean uh... not bribes" and it will be hilarious.

Ahhh if that’s where OP was heading then absolutely. That’s a big miss for a business where the house has the upper hand.

Alternatively just don't legalize sports gambling would have been better
