The Possible Regulation Of The Csr Of Gaming Enterprises In Macau: Maintain The Current Way And Pursue Sustainable Development, Wenjia Yan

UNLV Gaming Law Journal

In Macau, the gaming industry has brought unparalleled prosperity and stability to society since the privilege of running gaming operations was granted to six casino giants by the concession system in 2002, including three gaming enterprises from Las Vegas, Nevada.

Meanwhile, the government will draft the new concession contracts and deliberate the issue of whether the six casino operators can continue their business in Macau. Due to the dominant position …

The Hunt For Loot: Proposed Solutions To More Effectively Regulate Addictive Gambling Mechanics In Video Games, Andrew Brewer

Journal of Law and Policy

Over the past decade, more and more video game developers have embraced “loot boxes” as a lucrative source of revenue. But recent concerns over the potential harms of loot boxes, particularly to children, have raised questions about their use and prompted attempts to regulate them throughout the world. This Note explores recent attempts—both foreign and domestic—to regulate loot boxes and proposes new solutions based on those strategies’ shortcomings. By carefully and competently defining terms and exceptions, and providing for more aggressive oversight of agency regulatory efforts, federally-crafted loot box legislation can more effectively protect children from predatory gambling mechanics in …

Murphy’S Law: How To Avoid Going Wrong With Federal Regulation Of Sports Gambling, Savannah Malnar

Vanderbilt Journal of Entertainment & Technology Law

Sports betting plays a major role in how fans and spectators enjoy sports. Fans place bets in their living rooms, engage in online fantasy sports, and travel to Nevada for massive Super Bowl parties just for the thrill of wagering on the “big game.” Yet, until 2018, the federal government banned sports betting, making states unable to exploit this lucrative business, even though the sports betting industry estimates that billions of dollars are spent on illegitimate sports wagering. With the recent striking of the federal ban on the regulation of sports betting, states have begun to benefit from sports betting …

Washington Law Review

Legalized sports gambling has become one of the hottest topics in state legislatures ever since the United States Supreme Court’s 2018 decision in Murphy v. National Collegiate Athletic Ass’n1 allowed states to begin legalizing the activity. As states began to offer sports wagering, gambling became front and center in the news and the Trump administration’s Justice Department took the opportunity to rewrite a 2011 Office of Legal Counsel opinion, expanding the scope of the most prominent federal anti-gambling statute. The re-interpretation of the scope of the Wire Act reversed the Department of Justice’s position that the statute only applied to …
