State vs Federal Online Gambling Regulation

MGMThis Week in Gambling – Our industry has been wondering what the future of online gambling would be in the United States since before the “Black Friday” incidents of 2011. Even before the passage of UIGEA in 2006, we all knew that eventually regulation would come to America. Now, with three states legalizing web betting, we may be closer than ever to the next phase of this business.

Recently, we interview the Executive Vice President of MGM Resorts, Alan Feldman, about online gambling regulation in this country. Specifically, whether that regulation will come in the form of a Federal standard or state by state. Will there be cooperation across borders? What are the implications for out industry’s future.
