Gambling Industry Takes on Addiction Prevention

By: Jordan Briggs

Last week, the National Council on Problem Gambling hosted advocates, regulators, counselors, and other industry participants in Columbus, Ohio for the National Conference on Gambling Addiction & Responsible Gambling 2025. With such a broad range of attendees, the conference offered many unique sessions geared towards different industry groups, including wellness sessions and recovery meetings alongside the overviews of ongoing, broad research and the operator-specific talks on emerging customer service tools. I was fortunate enough to attend the conference, where I heard moving first-hand accounts and summaries of large-scale research across the country, both of which can be used to inform best practice recommendations in the gaming industry.

In the last 100 years, however, many states have loosened gambling prohibitions in favor of a legal, regulated gambling industry. Still, remnants of strict, anti-gambling attitudes remain on the books in many states in the form of “loss recovery acts.” These centuries-old statutes allow a losing gambler to sue the winner…

But today I am still just a Bill

By: James Trusty

By all accounts, a bill for legalized sports betting in D.C. (“The Sports Wagering Lottery Amendment Act of 2018”) was well-received last week by the City Council, but the byzantine process by which it might become a law leaves plenty of opportunities for mischief.  On Wednesday, Councilman Jack Evans introduced legislation with the support of Mayor Bowser and co-sponsorship of five other councilmembers, and with…
