New Jersey, 01 Oct 20: Wedge News is delighted to announce the launch of Wedge Index, a new rating system of gaming accessibility for each U.S. state based on the regulated gambling options available to consumers.

The Wedge Index has been devised by Wedge News and will be used to keep a running score of the changes affecting every state across the U.S. when it comes to gaming.

The Wedge Index score is calculated according to a large number of criteria including whether a state has land-based casinos, sports-betting, online gaming and other factors such as the number and quality of brands operational in the state.

“We think this adds some further context to the ongoing debates in the U.S. around sports-betting and online gaming,” says Wedge News founder and chief executive David Copeland.
