Vixio Supports NCPG in Groundbreaking Responsible Gambling Review of US Sports Betting Regulations
A first-of-its-kind comparative analysis state-by-state, the report evaluates states’ regulations against NCPG standards
Vixio, a leading provider of regulatory intelligence solutions and research services, is proud to support the National Council on Problem Gambling (NCPG) by producing a groundbreaking research report that cross-references states’ online sports betting regulations against NCPG’s Internet Responsible Gambling Standards (IRGS).
The new report involved a thorough analysis of the applicable laws, regulations and standards of every U.S. state with legal mobile sports betting in order to assess how closely their formal regulatory requirements align with the independent best practices recommended by the IRGS.
Keith Whyte, NCPG Executive Director, explains, “Partnering with Vixio Regulatory Intelligence on this landmark evaluation allowed for NCPG to highlight both the progress made and the critical gaps that remain in the alignment of state sports betting regulations with NCPG’s player protection standards. The report offers a comprehensive framework for states seeking to improve consumer safeguards and promote responsible gambling.”
Vixio Chief Analyst James Kilsby joined NCPG experts for a webinar to digest the report on September 24. Kislby will also be moderating a panel at G2E Vegas on U.S. sports betting’s ever-changing regulatory landscape.
“At Vixio Regulatory Intelligence, we are committed to providing independent, data-driven insights and research that help regulators and policymakers make informed decisions,” Kilsby said. “We’re proud to partner with the National Council on Problem Gambling to drive positive regulatory changes and ensure player protection remains a top priority in this evolving industry.”
The report analysed jurisdictions that offered legal mobile sports wagering as of June 2024, comprising 30 different states and the District of Columbia.
