G2E panellists say US sweepstakes gaming faces mounting regulatory opposition
Panellists at a G2E session in Las Vegas said regulators in 11 states had sent more than 125 cease-and-desist letters to sweepstakes operators. Daniel Wallach said operators had not challenged the letters and had largely complied; panellists also discussed California legislation barring sweepstakes, which was awaiting the governor’s signature.
Cease-and-desist activity and pending California legislation signal mounting regulatory pressure on sweepstakes operators.
