NCAA March Madness ends in a court after business fiasco

A news release from casino operator Delaware North iGaming (DNG) says it’s filed a civil suit seeking monetary damages against United Kingdom-based Miomni Gaming and its CEO, Michael P. Venner.

Like plenty of other companies in the business, DNG expected to capitalize on NCAA March Madness, the largest annual sports gambling event in the U.S. behind the NFL Super Bowl. However, at the last minute, sportsbooks at its two casinos located in West Virginia had to terminate services and are unable to take news sports wagers since March 6.

This happened after its sports gambling partner, Miomni Gaming, was forced to pull the plug over a dispute with one of its third-party partners. Both companies were working together since last year and on March 29 DNG notified the West Virginia Lottery Commission that it was taking steps to terminate its partnership with Miomni.

Now, Delaware North has filed a lawsuit against the UK sports gambling software provider. Company is seeking monetary damages and other relief, including an orderly transfer of Miomni’s membership interest in BetLucky, a mobile app created together last December.
