One month after the abrupt cancellation of a highly-anticipated roundtable discussion between the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) and a collection of gaming and gaming-adjacent stakeholders, it’s game back on, at least between certain tribal interests and the federal agency that oversees futures and derivatives trading in the U.S.
According to multiple sources, a senior representative for the CFTC sent a letter earlier this month to certain tribal groups inviting them to participate in a conference call on May 29 at 1 p.m. with Acting Chairman Caroline Pham.
The conference-call discussion, it appears, will serve as a more limited substitute for the broader roundtable that was to include stakeholders from tribal groups, commercial gambling companies, academics, professional sports leagues, and the American Gaming Association.
