The Regulation of Gambling by Alan David Littler,Cyrille Fijnaut Pdf

In November 2005 Tilburg University hosted for the first time an international "Colloquium on the European and National Perspectives of the Regulation of Gambling," The results of this exciting day are reflected in this book which brings together a wide range of perspectives from the contemporary debate surrounding the regulation of gambling markets within the context of the European Union. Not only does the book encompass both ends of the spectrum of the current discussion; it also brings together the perspectives of academics, lawyers and operators. The debate on the regulation of gambling has been gathering pace following a series of judgments of the ECJ. In 2006 gambling was excluded from the proposed Services Directive, and the European Commission commenced infringement proceedings against a handful of Member States regarding restrictions on the supply of sports betting services. Given these developments and being one of the very few publications concerned with this topic, this book will serve as a timely and valuable contribution for all those interested in this emerging and at times decisive debate.

Gambling Regulation and Vulnerability by Malgorzata Anna Carran Pdf

Since the UK Gambling Act of 2005 was introduced, gambling has stopped being seen, politically and legally as an inherent vice and is now viewed as a legitimate form of entertainment. Gambling Regulation and Vulnerability explores the laws around gambling that aim to protect society and individuals, examining the differences between regulatory rhetoric and the impact of legislative and regulatory measures. Malgorzata Carran finds that although the Gambling Act introduced many positive changes to gambling regulation, it has created an environment in which protection of vulnerable individuals becomes difficult. Carran challenges the existing legislative premise that regulation alone is able to balance the effect of liberalisation for those who are vulnerable.

Crime, Addiction and the Regulation of Gambling by A. Spapens,Cyrille J.C.F. Fijnaut,Alan Littler Pdf

This is the third book to be produced by members of the Gambling Research Group – associated with Tilburg University’s Faculty of Law concerning issues closely connected with the debate on the gambling policies that the European Union and its Member States are pursuing. The first book – Alan Littler and Cyrille Fijnaut (eds), The Regulation of Gambling: European and National Perspectives (Leiden, Martinus Nijhoff Publishers, 2007) – mainly considers the legal aspects of gambling regulation, at both European Union and Member State level. The second book – Tom Coryn, Cyrille Fijnaut and Alan Littler (eds), Economic Aspects of Gambling Regulation: EU and US Perspectives (Leiden, Martinus Nijhoff Publishers, 2008) – looks at research conducted in the United States and the European Union into the costs and benefits involved in the regulation of gambling. The contributions to this third book turn the spotlight on two social problems: crime and addiction, both of which play a significant part in the institutional debate in the European Union concerning whether gambling should be treated as a service that – like other services – should be subject to the laws universally applicable to the internal market. This volume is primarily devoted to the research that has been conducted in several Member States into the problems of gambling-related crime and addiction. It also examines developments at EU level: What policy is the European Commission currently pursuing? And what stance does the European Court of Justice take these days? Crime and addiction problems that can arise in the context of online gambling and at possible ways of keeping them under control. are also examined.

The Law of Gambling and Regulated Gaming by Anthony N. Cabot,Keith C. Miller Pdf

Gaming law and regulation has seen many developments since the first edition was published in 2011. Anti-money laundering rules have been tightened, as have SEC filing requirements. Legal challenges to statutes restricting sports betting illustrate the tenuous nature of these wagering limitations. Daily fantasy sports competitions, a new way for people to engage and compete on the performance of their favorite players, have gained massive audiences and created challenging legal issues. The United States Supreme Court continues to develop jurisprudence on the ability of Indian tribes to operate casinos off their traditional lands, and has re-examined fundamental tenets of tribal sovereignty. The second edition retains a solid foundation for understanding the basic regulatory structure of gaming. It also continues to illustrate that gaming is one of the most dynamic, fluid, and policy-oriented areas of law a student will ever encounter in law school.

Legalized Gambling by Rod L. Evans,Mark Hance Pdf

Forty-eight states now permit legalized gambling in some form, thirty-seven states run lotteries, forty-seven allow bingo houses, and more than a dozen states permit betting on dog races. American gamblers wager over $300 billion yearly in legal gambling. Although many Americans enjoy gambling and see it as harmless recreation and a fairly painless way to generate revenue without levying direct taxes, many social conservatives see gambling as a socially destructive temptation that ought notto be indulged by private citizens, much less sponsored by government. Recently, economic pressures resulting from less federal revenue and Americans' growing aversion to tax increases have led many state governments to liberalize gambling laws or sponsor gambling, sparking a lively debate. Legalized Gambling contains twenty articles focusing on different aspects of gambling policy by experts in the fields of public policy, law, psychiatry, rhetoric, religion, economics, and politics. The contributors address all areas of the debate, including the following: -- What moral issues are at the center of the debate? -- What are the true economic costs and benefits of legalized gambling? How are they often hidden or misconstrued in order to support either prohibition or legalization? -- How has the history of gambling in America shaped our current policies? -- Is governmental regulation an invasion of personal privacy? -- What are the legitimate uses of laws? -- Is "pathological gambling" a justifiable medical diagnosis? -- Do gambling establishments run by Native Americans deserve special consideration or regulation? "(In a lottery) ... the tax is laid on the willing only, that is to say, on those who can risk the price of a ticket without sensible injury for the possibility of a higher prize". -- Thomas Jefferson

Member States versus the European Union by Alan Littler Pdf

Since the 1990s the European Court of Justice has provided an institutional backdrop from which the requirements of EU law regarding gambling regulation are evolving. Given the total absence of harmonisation, Member States are competent to regulate gambling conditional upon such regulation being compatible with EU law. This book analyses the regulatory approaches undertaken in France, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom regarding a variety of forms of online and offline gambling with a view to assessing the compatibility of these approaches. Furthermore it illustrates prevailing commonalities between the regimes and injects a degree of realism into the debate, softening the hard stance taken by stakeholders at opposite ends of the policy spectrum.

With well thought out examples the narrative illustrates how national policy choices clash with one another, not only via attempts to liberalize markets but also through the application of rules of private international law.

Regulating Land-Based Casinos by Anthony Cabot,Ngai Pindell Pdf

Gaming law is many decades old but has only recently been recognized as a distinct legal discipline. The few, early jurisdictions across the world that permitted gaming regulated it in isolation. When the liberalization of casino gaming took hold in the 1980s, legislators frequently, and irrationally, sought the most "stringent" regulatory regime. The problem was legislators were inexperienced at creating and defining gaming policy goals, and little consideration was given to the effectiveness of this over-regulation to achieve even loosely constructed policy goals. But gaming regulation has matured. Experience has been a great teacher. Governments have learned what to expect from a regulated casino industry both in benefits and challenges. From this, governments have better crafted public policies to both maximize benefits and minimize burdens. Regulators now have a wealth of experience as to which regulations and enforcement policies best achieve these goals. While legislators, regulators, and gaming law professionals regularly share their knowledge and experience at conferences and in legal and industry publications, this book is a seminal effort to bring this knowledge together to define best practices to achieve defined policy goals. Each chapter considers a key component of the regulatory process from defining policy goals to the practical implementation of investigations, licensing, enforcement, and auditing. The chapters collect and analyze gaming research from a wide variety of disciplines, including law, business, social sciences, economics, and tax, to explain the many approaches a jurisdiction might take to identify policy goals, suggest best practices to achieve them, and identify emerging issues that require additional research and data. The chapters incorporate extensive industry experience and examples to investigate the effects of different regulatory practices on the gaming industry, industry stakeholders, and the public. The contributors have decades of experience in gaming regulation and business, critically engage the subject, and offer insight into what works and what does not in the gaming business and gaming regulation.

Online Gambling and Crime by Dr James Banks Pdf

Offering the first empirically driven assessment of the development, marketisation, regulation and use of online gambling organisations and their products, this book explores the relationship between online gambling and crime. It draws upon quantitative and qualitative data, including textual and visual analyses of e-gambling advertising and the records of player-protection and standards organisations, together with a virtual ethnography of online gambling subcultures, to examine the ways in which gambling and crime have been approached in practice by gamers, regulatory agencies and online gambling organisations. Building upon contemporary criminological theory, it develops an understanding of online gambling as an arena in which risks and rewards are carefully constructed and through which players navigate, employing their own agency to engage with the very real possibility of victimisation. With attention to the manner in which online gambling can be a source of criminal activity, not only on the part of players, but also criminal entrepreneurs and legitimate gambling businesses, Online Gambling and Crime discusses developments in criminal law and regulatory frameworks, evaluating past and present policy on online gambling. A rich examination of the prevalence, incidence and experience of a range of criminal activities linked to gambling on the Internet, this book will appeal to scholars and policy makers in the fields of sociology and criminology, law, the study of culture and subculture, risk, health studies and social policy.
