Taxation Frustration and Winter Casino Dreams

Welcome back to Gambling with Good JuJu, the podcast that boosts your gambling knowledge—not your gambling taxes. (Seriously… they’re out of control.)

This week, Juice and Breezy dive into the disturbing trend of states treating sports betting like a cash-grab raffle. From Maryland to Illinois, lawmakers are ramping up tax rates, slapping on per-bet fees, and leaving recreational bettors with worse odds, fewer promos, and higher stakes. We break it all down—and ask: who’s looking out for the players? Spoiler: it’s not your state rep.

Also in this episode:
 🎩 Shoutouts to Charles (NJ), Norman (TX), and Eric (MA) for grabbing Good JuJu merch
 📸 Kate Constable and @the_bonus_bandits reppin’ the brand in style
 🎙️ Our thoughts on the Cousin Vito interview—roulette dealer clocking, wrestling chops, and why we can’t wait to gamble with him in person
 🧳 Winter casino conference dreams: ICE London? ZorkFest? Vegas Vacation?
 📚 A sneak peek at next week’s guest, Advantage Players author Michael Kaplan

Plus: a retro Good JuJu ad spot, the return of Parlay Pete (maybe), and Juice gets fired up about political overreach in the betting space.
