Maryland’s Next Move:
Unlocking Casino and Online Betting Data for Academic Research and Insights
The DASGR Webinar on Gambling Data Access in Academia took place on November 15, 2024. Experts from academia and industry discussed practical strategies for accessing the vast datasets generated by casinos, online betting platforms, and other gaming operators.
A robust discussion with faculty researchers from multiple universities explored several topics including how some states have successfully bridged the gap between industry and academia, providing researchers with the tools to delve into problem gambling, responsible gaming, market trends, and predictive analytics.
We also discussed actionable insights and suggestions tailored for Maryland, aiming to foster collaboration that benefits researchers, legislators, regulators, industry players, entrepreneurs, and beyond.
