"The Dallas Cowboys take great pride in aligning themselves with the best brands in the world," Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones said, according to Nick Eatman of DallasCowboys.com. "It is a privilege to stand shoulder to shoulder as partners with such a prominent entertainment brand like WinStar World Casino."
WinStar World Casino and Resort is located in Oklahoma, where sports betting isn't legal yet. A bill that would have legalized it was recently introduced, but politicians didn't take any action on it before the state's legislative session ended in May.
