Intralot Under Scrutiny For Washington D.C. Sports Betting Work?

Washington D.C.’s sports betting system has moved away from Intralot and GambetDC, but the gaming company may still face challenges in the District.

Intralot, which powered GambetDC and runs the District’s lottery system, is seemingly being investigated by Washington D.C. Attorney General Brian Schwalb, according to a report from Washington City Paper. The scope of a potential investigation is unknown, but Schwalb requested documents from Intralot as part of what looks like an ongoing investigation. The report suggests an investigation could focus on the contractor and its subcontractors failing to conduct promised work.

Intralot drew significant scrutiny in recent years, as GambetDC failed to live up to expectations. The sports betting app struggled to bring in revenue to the District, and its iOS app notably stopped working on Super Bowl Sunday in 2022.

Some Washington D.C. council members were vocal for years that giving Intralot a sole-source contract to run sports betting was a mistake. The system wasn’t switched until recent weeks, when multiple betting apps like DraftKings and FanDuel were given access to the District’s mobile betting market.

The Washington Post reported in 2019 that Veterans Services Corporation (VSC) wasn’t living up to promised subcontractor duties with Intralot. The report indicated that VSC CEO Emmanuel Bailey didn’t have any employees at VSC, and there were legitimate questions about the ability of the subcontractor to do its job.

It’s unclear if the D.C. investigation is focusing on VSC’s work with Intralot or if it’s looking into other aspects of Intralot’s shortcomings running Washington D.C. sports betting.

Interestingly, VSC now runs a sports betting app in Maryland. The operator has questionable odds and a subpar interface, and it generated just $130,000 in handle in the state in June, the lowest of the state’s betting apps.
