The partnership, announced on Thursday, would have been unheard of until recent changes in law and NFL policy. The U.S. Supreme Court in May opened the door for gambling on sports at the tribal and state level. The NFL has since relaxed rules on team associations with gaming facilities, Sports Business Daily reported. The Chickasaw Nation, however, does not authorize sports betting at this point. WinStar is located near the Oklahoma border with Texas, about an hour north of the Dallas metropolitan area.Team officials with the Dallas Cowboys today announced WinStar World Casino as the Official Casino of the NFL Club. The Cowboys – ranked as the World’s Most Valuable Sports Team by Forbes – is the first NFL team to announce an official casino designation. pic.twitter.com/MeqAYDS3c7
