With Major Professional Sports Franchises On Their Way Into Las Vegas, The Problems With The Professional And Amateur Sports Protection Act (Paspa) Need To Be Addressed, Anthony J. Sanfratello
Pace Intellectual Property, Sports & Entertainment Law Forum
This note will set out to prove why PASPA is no longer effective and why reform is needed. With the state of New Jersey leading the fight, change is on the horizon. First, the history of gambling laws in the United States will be covered. Next, the legal and other supplemental arguments for and against PASPA will be discussed. Additionally, the pivotal role that each major professional sports league plays in the arguments for and against reform, with specific focus on professional teams moving to Las Vegas, will be examined.

Okada V. Eighth Judicial Dist. Court, 134 Nev. Adv. Op. 2 (Jan. 11, 2018) (En Banc), Paloma Guerrero
Nevada Supreme Court Summaries
The Court determined that application of NRS § 463.120(6), as enacted in 2017 through Senate Bill 376, which protects certain information and data provided to the gaming authorities, does not apply to information requested before the effective date of the statute. From the plain language of the act that the privilege applies to “any request made on or after the effective date of this act,” the Court concluded that the privilege applies prospectively only and does not apply to any request made before the effective date of this act.

Slave Gambling In The Antebellum South, Robert M. Jarvis
Florida A & M University Law Review
In the Antebellum Era (c. 1800-60), Southern slaves gambled regularly, both with each other and with free blacks and poor whites. This fact has received a fair amount of scholarly attention. Curiously, however, the reported court opinions involving such gambling have been all but overlooked. Accordingly, this article collects and discusses these decisions. As will be seen, Southern judges often were exasperated by the less-than-precise wording of the laws that were put in place to punish slaves who gambled and whites who facilitated or participated in such gambling.

Losing The Digital Shirt Off Your Back: Applying The Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act To Virtual Property Betting, Erik Gerstner
William & Mary Business Law Review
In recent years, a myriad of websites have been established, which offer gambling to U.S.-based customers via the Internet, using virtual items existing only within the realms of online video games as currency. A relatively new development, this virtual property has been addressed by courts very little, leaving many questions about how the law of the U.S. would and should treat it for purposes including but not limited to gambling. Because virtual property shares many characteristics with tangible property, it is likely to be found to share many of the same legal aspects as the latter, which would permit the …

“You Must Construct Additional Pylons”: Building A Better Framework For Esports Governance, Laura L. Chao
Fordham Law Review
The popularity of “esports,” also known as “electronic sports” or competitive video gaming, has exploded in recent years and captured the attention of cord-cutting millennials—often to the detriment of sports such as basketball, football, baseball, and hockey. In the United States, the commercial dominance of such traditional sports stems from decades of regulatory support. Consequently, while esports regulation is likely to emulate many aspects of traditional sports governance, the esports industry is fraught with challenges that inhibit sophisticated ownership and capital investment. Domestic regulation is complicated by underlying intellectual property ownership and ancillary considerations such as fluctuations in a video …

Regulating A “Pariah” Industry: The Need For A Responsive Approach In Gambling Markets, Melissa Rorie
UNLV Gaming Research & Review Journal
Gaming regulators are uniquely positioned state agents, who must consider contradictory goals in their day-to-day actions. They must protect the public (and maintain the legitimacy of government) but are also responsible for ensuring that the gaming industry provides needed revenue to the state. To that end, regulators are not only responsible for promoting the legitimacy of the government but also, to some extent, must consider how they can encourage the legitimization of a previously illegal behavior. Prior research has examined regulators’ attempts to balance such “structural contradictions” through their licensing process, but little research has been done on regulatory responses …

Entry Fees As A Responsible Gambling Tool: An Economic Analysis, Kahlil Philander
UNLV Gaming Research & Review Journal
Entry fees or levies have received increased interest as a responsible gambling tool and have been implemented or proposed in an increasing number of jurisdictions. Using comparative statics, this study applies economic theory to understand the distributional consequences of entry fees on players with and without gambling related problems. Overall, it appears that there is relatively weak theoretical support for entry fees’ use as responsible gambling tool as they primarily distort the demand of more price sensitive recreational gamblers. This creates a potentially large dead weight loss in the economy, and likely increases the share of revenue from players with …
