“This Ain’t Your Grandad’s Sweepstakes”

Panel to Open NCLGS Winter Meeting in New Orleans 

NEW ORLEANS: Ed McMahon and his big sweepstakes checks won’t be coming to your door anytime soon. But the unlicensed and unregulated online “sweepstakes” casino market in the United States – now making billions of dollars with the advertising on TV, radio, and social media to match – is already at your door.

The legal, licensed gaming industry and state regulators have taken notice, and there are important implications for taxation, responsible gaming, the value of a gaming license, and more.

Our industry, legislative and regulatory experts will convene to debate this topic at our Committee on Casinos at the National Council of Legislators from Gaming States (NCLGS) Winter Meeting, taking place December 12-15 at Caesars New Orleans.

“This Ain’t Your Grandad’s Sweepstakes” panel will be chaired by Oklahoma Representative Chris Kannady, with expert panelists including:

• William M. Gantz, Partner, Duane Morris
• Howard Glaser, Global Head of Government Affairs and Legislative Counsel, Light & Wonder
• Andromeda Morrison, General Counsel, Ohio Casino Control Commission
• Tres York, Senior Director of Government Affairs, American Gaming Association

NCLGS, founded more than a quarter-century ago, is the only organization of state lawmakers that meets on a regular basis to discuss issues related to gaming. NCLGS neither promotes nor opposes gaming but is focused on proper regulation and promoting best practices in the governance of this important industry.
