I look forward to seeing many friends (in person!) at this week's IMGL conference in Seattle. Along with my fellow panelists, I'll discuss new developments and innovations in online lottery and lottery operated and/or regulated sports betting. imgl.org/conferences/sp…

Maryland sports betting legislation became law this month. But for sports betting to occur, Maryland voters must approve it this November. gtlaw.com/en/insights/20…

@WALLACHLEGAL @GamingLawyers @UNHLaw Thank you, Dan! Delighted to be part of the program!

Big shout-out to all my @GamingLawyers colleagues in the #IMGL who contributed top-notch lectures on the regulation of sports betting for our @UNHLaw online certificate program. Thank you, @MarkHichar, Tommy Shepherd, Heidi Staudenmaier, Chantal Cipriano, and Jamie Nettleton. 👍

@WALLACHLEGAL Heartfelt congratulations and best wishes!

Celebrating the 3rd month anniversary of our marriage (8/15/19) and 27 months since our first date (8/15/17). That’s a lot of cards.

I'm excited to be moderating a panel at next week's Global Gaming Expo (G2E) in Las Vegas! (Oct. 14. at 3:30pm) Each of the panelists works at the cutting edge of mobile gaming. I hope to see you there. globalgamingexpo.com/en/Sessions/78…

Per its June 12 memo, DOJ is considering next steps re the D NH Court's opinion. Also, the Wire Act prosecution forbearance period is extended to the later of 12/31/19 or 60 days after final judgment. Odd that the memo ignores that its 2018 Opinion was "set aside", and thus void.

I'm looking forward to "Betting on Sports America," April 23 - 25 at the Meadowlands, NJ. It promises to be a great conference! #bosamerica

@DustinGouker @LSPReport Yes. This is great. I'm a fan as well!

I am a fan of the new @LSPReport sports betting bill tracker, and you should be too. Click on a state, get all the bills and their current status: legalsportsreport.com/sportsbetting-…

I'm delighted to be part of the Town Hall program: "The Future of Regulated Sports Gambling in New England," on March 20, 3pm - 7pm, at the UNH School of Law in Concord. Thank you to the organizers and sponsors for putting together a great program! eventbrite.com/e/the-future-o…

If the Wire Act is enforced per yesterday's DOJ opinion (ie., applicable to ALL types of gambling, not only sports betting) it could have a profound adverse impact on state lotteries and the good causes they serve. Traditional lottery sales would be affected as well as iLottery!

You can read the International Comparative Legal Guide's 2019 Gambling issue at the link below. In one of the beginning chapters, I discuss how the federal Wire Act affects the implementation of sports betting by U.S. states: iclg.com/practice-areas…

I'm pleased and excited to be part of the University of New Hampshire Law School's first-ever Certificate in Sports Wagering and Integrity! prnewswire.com/news-releases/…
