Stati Uniti – La IAGA nomina i destinatari del premio Shannon Bybee Scholarship Award 2018

L'International Association of Gaming Advisors (IAGA) ha annunciato i destinatari dello Shannon Bybee Scholarship Award 2018, un programma annuale che assegna premi per i migliori documenti di ricerca accademica scritti su argomenti rilevanti di gioco da studenti di giurisprudenza accreditati come parte del loro lavoro in classe durante anno scolastico.

Le proposte annuali vengono sollecitate dagli studenti di giurisprudenza delle facoltà di giurisprudenza del Nord America e giudicate da un comitato di avvocati membri della IAGA che praticano la legge sul gioco d'azzardo. I destinatari della borsa di studio 2018 sono:

“The Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act and its Legal Implications: How Its Invalidation Will Impact Indian Gaming’s Legal and Regulatory Framework” by Francisco Olea, University of Arizona College of Law

“It’s Time for Wizards to Give Up the Illusion and Show Their Cards: How Wizards of the Coast Circumvent Gaming Law to Make Millions” by David M. Stern, UNLV William S. Boyd School of Law

Both winning papers can be viewed at www.theiaga.org/shannon-bybee-scholarship-award/

“The Bybee Scholarship is an excellent way to encourage the next generation of gaming industry legal experts to become engaged in critical gaming issues,” commented Jennifer Roberts, Bybee Scholarship Committee Co-Chair and Associate Director of the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV) International Center for Gaming Regulation. “With so many interesting topics to cover, this year we received a diverse selection of submissions covering everything from exploring problem gambling issues in Victoria, Australia to online gaming regulations in Canada and the US, and the impact of the sports betting invalidation of PASPA for tribes. We are pleased that we continue to receive such excellent submissions and look forward to presenting this year’s winners with their awards at IAGA’s G2E cocktail reception in Las Vegas.”

The Shannon Bybee Scholarship Award was established to honour the memory of Shannon Bybee, one of IAGA’s founders who had a distinguished career as a gaming attorney, Nevada regulator, industry executive and pioneer in the field of education in casino operations and gaming law. Inducted into the American Gaming Association’s Hall of Fame in 2002 because of his significant contributions to responsible gaming, Bybee also played an important role in the development of problem gambling regulations and advocacy.

Il Bybee Scholarship Award di quest'anno è stato generosamente sponsorizzato da Everi. Annunciata la scadenza per le iscrizioni per il 2019 IAGA ha anche annunciato che la scadenza per le iscrizioni per il 2019 sarà il 30 giugno e i documenti vincitori saranno annunciati durante il cocktail reception IAGA 2019 che si terrà durante la fiera Global Gaming Expo (G2E) a Las Vegas.
