Busy week at the Center for Gaming Research. I just uploaded the latest in our Occasional Paper Series, a look at U.S. sports gambling businesses. Legal or not? Read the paper and find out:
Paper 12: November 2011
Glenn Light, Karl Rutledge, and Quinton Singleton. “Betting on the U.S. Market: A Discussion of the Legality of Sports Gaming Businesses”
ABSTRACT: Over time, the US sports gaming industry has progressed dramatically beyond what the US anti-gaming law drafters envisioned. The result is a system of mostly antiquated laws controlling modern industry causing confusion across the board. This discussion, therefore, intends to shed light on the US sports gaming legal framework, including analysis of the preeminent US laws that regulate the sports gaming industry and a brief review of various sports gaming businesses that fall within the US legal rubric.
Keywords: sports betting, gaming, Internet gaming

This is our third paper in a row written by attorneys. I like that, but it’s time for the academics to step up. If you owe me a paper (and you know who you are), get cracking!
