Federal officials should pursue stronger responsible gaming tools and clearer regulations on new gaming offerings, a panel of industry stakeholders said during a webinar Thursday.
With the rapid expansion of in-person and now online gambling over the past decade, the U.S. federal government must respond to new challenges for gamblers and types of gaming or gaming-related offerings, stakeholders stated. Speaking remotely during a webinar hosted by IC360, the panelists agreed the rapid changes to the industry require a federal response.
“Legislatively something’s going to have to be done because every year or two something new comes along that you’re going to have to continue to deal with,” said ProhiBet Managing Director Matt Heap. “The fact of the matter is it moves so fast, a regulated government entity cannot keep up with that at the speed that it changes and new things.”
