At first blush, the Passamaquoddy Tribe’s sports betting enterprise seems likely to deliver life changing money. The partnership between the tribe and DraftKings has made over $100 million in gross revenue since the beginning of 2024.
In Sipayik, one of the two Passamaquoddy reservations in Maine, some are demanding to know where that money is. In the absence of clarity, they are turning on Chief Amkuwiposohehs “Pos” Bassett.
“He doesn’t want to distribute it, and he hasn’t,” said Amanda Newell, who submitted a petition in early November to recall Bassett from office. “He’s kept that money that’s actually ours.”
There’s little evidence available to support that claim.
