No they don't, otherwise they wouldn't be asking (they'd be doing) and for that matter, in a childish and horribly unconvincing way.
They have their leagues and make/pay their large sums due to the demand for their product via tickets, marketing, merchandise, etc. They sued for years to NOT allow gambling and now they should get some of the action because they lost the ability to stop others from something they knew they couldn't ever get?
And the obvious secret (as you should know) why they can't get it is because by definition, when you have a pro sports league, you can't make money on gambling as the sole sponsor or proprietor. Due to integrity it would never make sense, and is an industry fact, thus why you can only hope that others will listen to your insulting arguments about "integrity fees" or royalties when you have absolutely no right or legal backing to get them. Shouldn't you already be making sure your game has integrity? It's laughable.
What I do with someone else regarding your game has nothing to do with you except that you have this illusion that you should be involved. But you shouldn't and you can't, as I have shown. What's more, gambling actually helps you, you greedy bastards, by increasing excitement and fanfare.
I've lost a lot of respect for this totally lame cash grab by NBA and MLB. They should and will get precisely ZERO of the action, unless the states that soon to go bust by adopting this are that corrupt, or that stupid.
