Paddy Power Betfair pushes ahead with U.S. expansion

DUBLIN, May 18 (Reuters) - Paddy Power Betfair (Other OTC: PDYPF - news) will build on its existing U.S. operations following a U.S. Supreme Court ruling on Monday that paved the way for states to legalise sports gambling, CEO Peter Jackson told reporters on Friday.

The company hopes its New Jersey operation, which is already licensed by the Department of Gaming Enforcement, will be live for the NFL season in September. (Reporting by Graham Fahy; Editing by Adrian Croft)
