Gaming in Germany Conference
The most notable upcoming event is the 2025 Gaming in Germany Conference scheduled for November 11, 2025, in Berlin.

Industry leaders and experts including Dr. Jörg Hofmann, Mathias Dahms, Dr. Dirk Quermann, Christian Heins, and Josh Hodgson are expected to attend.
Legislative Meetings
Regarding legislative meetings, there are no specific sessions or meetings scheduled in Alabama or Missouri for the week of November 16, 2025. However, Alabama's latest sports betting legislative activity occurred in earlier years, and Missouri is planning to launch sportsbooks by December 1, 2025, following a recent amendment passed by voters in 2024.
Top Games
Several exciting games are on the horizon for the week. In the NFL, the Arizona Cardinals are set to face the Seattle Seahawks in a rematch of a Week 7 barnburner won by Arizona in overtime. The total for this game is expected to hover near 65 points.
In the NBA, the Minnesota Timberwolves, projected to take point guard LaMelo Ball or shooting guard Anthony Edwards with the No. 1 overall pick in the NBA draft, are yet to have their potential betting markets detailed.
The upcoming Cardinals vs. Seahawks game is not the only exciting matchup for the Arizona Cardinals. They also have a crucial game against the Bears, where they will aim for their third consecutive victory. Chicago has scored 20 points or more in five of nine games this season, and a prop on Bears' total points of over 20 has odds of -112 at FanDuel.
In the ATP Finals, Rafael Nadal could play on Sunday for his first title, despite only making one singles final at the event. Nadal is tied with Federer for most career grand slams with 20 apiece. Novak Djokovic, who has already won five championships at the year-end ATP World Tour Finals, is also in the mix. BetMGM pegs Djokovic as the tournament favorite at +150, ahead of Nadal (+350) and Daniil Medvedev (+500).
Lastly, the Illinois Gaming Board will hold a special meeting at 10 a.m. CST on Tuesday, and the Tennessee Lottery's Board of Directors will meet at 1 p.m. local time on Tuesday for the first time since sports betting operators launched on Nov. 1.
