ATLANTIC CITY: Of all the sports-betting models that have been developed in recent years, which are most effective in meeting the goals of both states and operators? A panel of experts from the public and private sectors will address that question as the 25th annual East Coast Gaming Congress & NexGen Gaming Forum convenes September 21-23 at Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Atlantic City.
As sports betting is now legal and active in 31 US jurisdictions, no two states offer precisely the same sports betting model. From an online-only model to a model offering dozens of skins to one offering tax rates that are four to five times higher than others, states have charted their own paths as they maximize results. This expert panel called Sports Betting: Which Model Is Working Best? will address such questions as:
- Which model is working best?
- Should this be measured by GGR state tax receipts?
- Do high tax rates matter?
The sports betting expert panelist include:
- Senator Jon Ford, State of Indiana; President, National Council of Legislators from Gaming States (NCLGS)
- Gina Smith, Deputy Director of Gaming Compliance, Virginia Lottery
- Elizabeth Suever, Vice President, Government Relations, Bally’s Corporation
- Andrew Winchell, Director of Government Affairs, FanDuel
