Sports betting in America is in a state of flux. The last twelve months have seen the rise of sports prediction market contracts, changes in betting options and gambling taxes, and the stubborn persistence of unlicensed operators. Between the possibility of new regulation, legislation, and ongoing lawsuits, the next twelve months may bring just as much change as the last twelve. What, exactly, is on the horizon for American sports betting? To find out, join the American Institute for Boys and Men for a webinar on February 5 at 1pm ET. Earlier this month, in partnership with Arnold Ventures, AIBM launched a new hub to coordinate research and advocacy on gambling and to serve as a resource for lawmakers, regulators, journalists, advocates, and the industry itself. To explain what the next year has in store, AIBM will be joined by Brianne Doura-Schawohl (Campaign for Fairer Gambling), Chris Grove (Eilers & Krejcik Gaming), and Steve Ruddock (Straight to the Point Consulting). The conversation will be moderated by AIBM’s Jonathan D. Cohen.
