Folks in the gambling industry keeping an eye on the status of sweepstakes gaming in the U.S. are about to have one fewer four-letter acronym to keep straight.
As Gambling Insider was first to report Tuesday, the Social Gaming Leadership Alliance (SGLA) is absorbing the Social and Promotional Gaming Association (SPGA), meaning the latter no longer exists as a distinct organization advocating for social gaming with sweepstakes prizing.
A representative of the SPGA provided Casino Reports with the same statement published by Gambling Insider: “The SPGA is consolidating its efforts with the SGLA. The category is best served by a clear and consistent voice from one group. We’re proud of what our members have accomplished and look forward to the continued leadership of the SGLA.”
