The independent gambling laws and regulations of Macau began in the 1960s, initially with casino gaming, and then expanded to other types of gambling such as horse racing betting, greyhound racing betting, soccer betting, and lotteries over the next three decades. During this period, the Portuguese colonial government ruled Macau. After Macau's handover to China in 1999, the gambling laws and regulations have continuously grown into a legal system that comprises more than a hundred documents and covers all types of gaming in Macau. The article aims to explore the historical origin and development of the primary rules, especially their unique features, to provide a better understanding of Macau's gaming legal system.","PeriodicalId":44210,"journal":{"name":"Gaming Law Review-Economics Regulation Compliance and Policy","volume":"112 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135933718","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A compact between the Seminole Tribe and Florida would have given the tribe control of retail and online sports betting in the state. The compact was challenged by West Flagler Associates. The case has made its way to the Supreme Court of the U.S. (at the time of writing, SCOTUS has not decided if it will hear the case). At the same time, West Flagler has also filed a case with the Florida Supreme Court.Another hot-button issue is the legality of DFS+ or DFS 2.0. Several states have begun cracking down on these games, which pit the player vs. the house, rather than the traditional peer-to-peer fantasy sports model. This fight has pitted the new DFS operators like Sleeper, Underdog Fantasy, and PrizePicks against the original DFS operators who have now moved into the sports betting arena, DraftKings and FanDuel.And in the background are the various legal battles over skill games, most notably in North Carolina, Missouri, and Virginia. Fliff's fight with California, which claims the company's sweepstakes offerings constitute illegal sports betting. And a class action suit claiming Roblox is targeting minors with illegal gambling.2024 will certainly be interesting.FiguresReferencesRelatedDetails Volume 27Issue 9Nov 2023 InformationCopyright 2023, Mary Ann Liebert, Inc., publishersTo cite this article:Steve Ruddock.NOTES FROM THE EDITOR.Gaming Law Review.Nov 2023.429-429.http://doi.org/10.1089/glr2.2023.29094.editorialPublished in Volume: 27 Issue 9: November 8, 2023PDF download","PeriodicalId":44210,"journal":{"name":"Gaming Law Review-Economics Regulation Compliance and Policy","volume":"117 2","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135610066","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The lack of criminal or administrative penalties for online gambling related to esports is demonstrated through three examples in this article: Chinese esports teams accepting sponsorships from online gambling companies, the lack of punishment for Chinese esports players involved in match-fixing, and the failure to prosecute an esports tycoon for running an online gambling house. The article argues that online gambling companies use cultural reframing strategies to avoid monitoring systems and that the political and economic impact of esports in China may contribute to this lack of enforcement. This article sheds light on the potential implications of the lack of regulation of online gambling in the Chinese esports industry.","PeriodicalId":44210,"journal":{"name":"Gaming Law Review-Economics Regulation Compliance and Policy","volume":"158 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135012021","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Xiao, Pieterjan Declerck","doi":"10.1089/glr2.2023.0020","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1089/glr2.2023.0020","url":null,"abstract":"In March 2022, the highest administrative court in the Netherlands, the Administrative Jurisdiction Division of the Council of State, found that loot boxes in the Ultimate Team Mode of the FIFA video games (FUT) published by Electronic Arts (EA) did not contravene Dutch gambling law, contrary to the Netherlands Gambling Authority's (Kansspelautoriteit) previous 2018 interpretation of the law and overruling a previous 2020 judgment that confirmed the Kansspelautoriteit's aforementioned interpretation. The Council of State decided that the player packs (i.e., loot boxes) in the FUT mode cannot be considered a separate game that is capable of being assessed on its own as to whether it constitutes a “game of chance” and therefore potentially contravenes gambling regulation. Instead, the overarching video game containing the loot boxes should be assessed more broadly as to whether that game constitutes a “game of chance” or a “game of skill.” We argue that the Council of State's unique approach of not considering the loot boxes separately as to whether they constitute gambling underplayed the importance of paid loot boxes as a monetization method in contemporary video games. The Council of State unsatisfyingly built its main argument on the supposed “importance” of non-paid loot boxes. Further, the Council of State's overreliance on how the so-called “majority” of players experience the video game importantly failed to account for the experiences of the small minority of high-spending players who are most at risk of potential harms and in need of consumer protection. The Council of State's interpretation of Dutch gambling law should not necessarily be relied on by other countries considering the regulation of loot boxes. Dutch legislators should consider whether this restrictive interpretation, which has made future application of gambling regulation to loot boxes highly unlikely, was intended and may require legislative amendments.1","PeriodicalId":44210,"journal":{"name":"Gaming Law Review-Economics Regulation Compliance and Policy","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135112329","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
