Delta Air Lines will bring a DraftKings-branded sports prediction game to its flights, but ensures that the product does not constitute gambling under federal aviation rules. Access is limited to passengers aged 21 and older. The airline structured the game, called SkyPicks, to exclude betting, deposit functionality, a buy-in, or financial risk of any kind. Instead, players compete for Delta gift cards. The restriction on real-money gaming traces back to a 1962 law that bars gambling on commercial aircraft, a statute Sen. Richard Blumenthal cited last year when he urged Delta and DraftKings not to allow wagering on board. SkyPicks…

The court dismissed TNLC’s claim that it should have secured the licence, concluding that its prospects of succeeding in the competition would have been “vanishingly small”. The ruling said TNLC had not suffered any losses “in practical terms”. Judges agreed that…
