About
This Course
This course provides a high-level understanding of federal and state gambling laws, including an explanation of what is not considered “wagering” and the reasons behind this distinction. It will include discussion and analysis of different gaming verticals, explain why/if they are regulated, and how they exist in the online wagering ecosystem.
Attendees will learn about applicable laws and regulatory requirements, as well as emerging and pertinent legal issues in the gaming and wagering industry. Furthermore, there will be a discussion on how the industry is working to police itself without federal legal or regulatory interference.
Attorneys interested in or with a general understanding of online wagering laws, focusing on the legal aspects of wagering and relevant laws and legal considerations, should take this course. As the industry grows and legal issues arise, attorneys who work with clients tangentially related to the industry but have not yet specialized in the laws surrounding it will benefit from this program, which is suitable for attorneys at any level of practice.
Learning Objectives:
- List the federal laws that apply to online wagering.
- Evaluate the state laws and regulations that apply to online wagering.
- Analyze states with legalized and regulated gambling markets versus those that let their gambling laws speak for themselves, including identifying and explaining why specific popular verticals, i.e., skill-gaming, fantasy sports, social gaming, sweepstakes casinos, are not considered gambling under relevant laws.
- Identify how companies such as Google and Meta have stepped up with their own requirements in the absence of federal law and regulations.
- Explore the prevalent litigation claims arising in the industry, along with the trends of litigation outcomes and considerations.
