Moderated by Marc Ellinger, the discussion explored how prediction markets were challenging traditional gambling regulation in the U.S. and what regulators elsewhere could expect as these markets expanded internationally.

Panelists addressed regulatory risks, oversight concerns, and key lessons regulators could learn from the U.S. experience.

Dreitzer (Nevada Gambling Control Board),

Bashir Are (Lagos State Lotteries and Gaming Authority),

The U.S. iGaming landscape continues to evolve, and we were glad to be part of the iGaming Chaos in the United States discussion at the SBC Leaders Summit. Ron Segev, Joseph Webster, and Marc Ellinger shared their expertise, with Marc Dunbar guiding the conversation as moderator.

Fascinating discussions at the US Regulatory Panel on "iGaming Chaos in North America" today. With nearly a dozen state and federal lawsuits currently reshaping the gaming and sports betting landscape, the regulatory environment has never been more complex.

The panel highlighted how high-stakes litigation is creating significant uncertainty for operators, regulators, and stakeholders across the continent. As this industry continues its rapid growth, the need for legal clarity becomes increasingly critical.

The intersection of established regulatory frameworks with emerging gaming technologies presents both challenges and opportunities for legal practitioners in this space.

We gathered with colleagues and friends last week in Nashville for the Republican National Lawyers Association National Election Law Seminar.

The program brings together leading practitioners, federal commissioners, secretaries of state, and counsel from major political organizations to address the complex legal issues that arise in election administration, compliance, and integrity efforts.

For our practice, staying connected to these developments is essential. Election law continues to be one of the most dynamic and consequential areas of legal practice. Whether representing candidates, committees, businesses with political activities, or organizations involved in election processes, having current knowledge of federal and state requirements is critical.
