  • Regulating Sports Gaming Data
    REGULATING SPORTS GAMING DATA Ryan M. Rodenberg* I. INTRODUCTION “Congress can regulate sports gambling directly, but if it elects not to do so, each State is free to act on its own,” concluded the U.S. Supreme Court in Gov. Murphy v. NCAA.1 In the two years since the Supreme Court declared the partial federal sports betting ban in the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act (“PASPA”)2 unconstitutional and, in turn, opened up the legalization of sports betting nationwide, there has been one topic that has garnered considerable attention—sports gaming data. ‘Data’—a generic word that includes news and information about sports gaming—has become one of the most-discussed contemporary topics in sports gaming regulation globally.3 Indeed, since the Supreme Court case, the regulatory treatment of sports betting news, information, and data has taken a prominent role in dozens of legislative bodies, at numerous industry conferences, and in a prominent lawsuit recently filed in the United Kingdom. Industry * Associate Professor, Florida State University. This paper was completed in conjunction with a non-resident research fellowship granted by the International Center for Gaming Regulation (“ICGR”) at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. The ICGR is an academic institute dedicated to the study of gaming regulation and policy development. The author would like to thank the ICGR for its research support and Christopher Perrigan for excellent research assistance. 1 Murphy v. Nat’l Collegiate Athletic Ass’n, 138 S. Ct. 1461, 1484–85 (2018). As of June 20, 2020, there remains a spin-off legal proceeding in the court system that is unrelated to the foci here.

  • Judicial Recourse for Victims of Gaming Fraud
    SMITH FORMATTED 5.22.17.DOCX (DO NOT DELETE) 5/30/17 2:23 PM CHEATER’S JUSTICE: JUDICIAL RECOURSE FOR VICTIMS OF GAMING FRAUD Jordan T. Smith* I. INTRODUCTION Legends of extrajudicial “cheater’s justice” dealt upon gaming con-artists and swindlers have deep historical roots. In the Old West, a card shark may have been shot on sight.1 Later, when the mob (allegedly) ran Las Vegas, a hustler might have been given the choice of “hav[ing] the money and the hammer or [walking] out of here,” but not both.2 Gradually, as gambling became more socially acceptable and government regulation of it increased, disputants transitioned from wielding brutish self-help remedies to pursuing legal retribution.3 Today, courts largely accept that a party cheated in a gambling game can recover any losses in a civil action without necessarily being limited to administrative remedies through a state’s gaming regulators.4 * Mr. Smith is an attorney in Nevada. The views expressed in this Article belong solely to the Author and do not reflect the views of any employer or client. 1 See People v. Grimes, 64 P. 101, 103 (Cal. 1901) (“The deceased may have treated the appellant unfairly and unjustly in the matter of the game of cards, but that treatment gave appellant no legal excuse or justification for taking his life.”); see also State v.

  • Strategic Integration, Contract
    STRATEGIC INTEGRATION, CONTRACT ADMINISTRATION, AND COMPREHENSIVE CONTRACT CAMPAIGN EFFECTIVENESS: A CASE STUDY OF THE CULINARY WORKERS UNION, HERE LOCAL 226’S 2002 COMPREHENSIVE CONTRACT CAMPAIGN A Thesis Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Science by Paul Everett Hayes January 2006 © 2006 Paul Everett Hayes ABSTRACT This thesis is a case study of the comprehensive contract campaign that the Culinary Union, HERE Local 226 utilized in its 2002 round of negotiations with casino operators in Las Vegas. The focus of this study is on how the comprehensive contract campaign strategy used by the Culinary Union increased the local’s bargaining power in the negotiations. This case study links the success of the 2002 comprehensive contract campaign to the local’s prior practices, long-term strategies, as well as its organizational structure and culture. This case study also examines how the political, social, and economic context of Las Vegas’s casino industry influenced the Culinary Union’s comprehensive contract campaign. It describes the interactive relationship between these external contextual factors, the local’s strategic choices, and industrial relations outcomes in Las Vegas’s casino industry. This case study describes how the Culinary Union, by using the organizing model of contract administration, created an organizational culture and structure that lead to increases in the quality and quantity of rank-and-file participation in the union, and how this benefited the union in its 2002 comprehensive contract campaign. In addition to citing specific examples from the 2002 contract campaign itself, this case study uses the industrial relations literature relating to union commitment and participation, in order to support this argument.

  • An Introduction to the Law of Internet Gambling
    Gambling and the Law®: An Introduction to the Law of Internet Gambling I. Nelson Rose Abstract This article brings to gaming researchers, with or without a legal education, a roundup of major issues and problems in the unsettled field of Internet gaming. By citing laws, cases, articles and treatises this annotated essay leads the reader through the maze of confusion and contradiction that now clutters the legal scene. Topics touched on include: elements of gambling, Federal, state and local gambling regulation, organized crime implications, extraterritorial jurisdiction, police power and advertising. Conclusions are addressed to businesses considering the risks of operating Internet gambling web sites. Key Words: Internet gaming law, Wire Act, betting, pay-for-play, police power, advertising, organized crime Basic Question The question, "Is gambling on the Internet legal?" is by no means simple (Rose & Owens, 2005). Some state and federal law enforcement officials declare flatly, "Yes, it's all illegal." Yet with thousands of websites taking billions of dollars in wagers each year, fewer than 25 people have ever been prosecuted in the United States for online gambling. Most were bookies who were also taking sports bets by telephone. Only one was a regular player: Jeffrey Trauman, a car salesman and online sports bettor, pleaded guilty to "placing a wager over $500," a misdemeanor in North Dakota, was fined $500 and given a one-year deferred sentence (Rose, 2003); North Dakota Century Code). The day seems to have passed when advocates of the Internet would assert that it was something so new and different that there were no laws surrounding online activities, that the Internet is like the Wild West.
