The American Gaming Association has reiterated its commitment to defend the sovereignty of states and tribes to regulate gambling, after Commodity Trading Futures Commission nominee Michael Selig’s appearance at a hearing on Wednesday.
The hearing was overseen by the Senate Agriculture Committee which advanced Selig’s nomination on Thursday, leaving it up to the Senate to decide if he will head the commodities regulator.
Writing on LinkedIn yesterday, American Gaming Association President and Chief Executive Bill Miller said, “[The] hearing left important questions unanswered regarding Mr. Selig’s views on prediction markets’ aggressive foray into sports betting.
