Let's be even a little bit realist here, and by "leagues" you mean the NBA & MLB, because they are the only ones who mentioned it ever, in any sort of way. There is not a chance in hell any league gets any "integrity fee" from gambling. Not a bit. 0.0%. They will all have betting kiosks in their stadiums when the gambling laws pass, because the William Hills of the world will pay them to put them there.


Gambling integrity fees. LOL.
I know it's LOL, they have some balls even asking for something like that. But they might get it from some states. And the NFL may ask too. Their position has always been anti-gambling and they may still push for federal regulation but don't be surprised if they stick their hands out too, especially if other leagues are able to get states to do this.
