AGA executive questions legal clarity of US sweepstakes casinos
American Gaming Association senior vice-president Chris Cylke said he considered the legal status of sweepstakes casinos in the United States unclear. Speaking during an educational series hosted by the Indian Gaming Association, he said AGA members were unwilling to risk their gaming licences. Indian Gaming Association executive director Jason Giles compared the market’s emergence with daily fantasy sports and said sweepstakes had not drawn much regulatory attention.
The comments reflect concern among AGA members that involvement in sweepstakes gaming could put their licences at risk.
