Policy & Engagement

Supporting Communities Through Policy

The gambling industry is experiencing a period of rapid transformation, navigating uncharted waters shaped by technological innovation, shifting regulations, and evolving consumer behavior. From the expansion of iCasino and sports betting to the integration of blockchain technologies and new forms of digital entertainment, operators, regulators, and policymakers face both unprecedented opportunities and daunting challenges. These changes raise complex questions about market growth, responsible gambling, financial integrity, and the future of gaming tax and regulation.

 

Real-World Impact

The DASGR Center’s work is designed to inform—not influence—policy. By ensuring policymakers, regulators, and businesses have access to credible, relevant data and analysis on emerging technologies and trends, they can foster innovation, protect consumers, and strengthen economic outcomes.

Contributions to Public Health and Prevention Dialogue

Through its research and community engagement, the DASGR Center has contributed to broader conversations around prevention strategies, consumer protection, and the role of data in identifying and addressing gambling-related harm.

Legislative Briefings in Maryland

DASGR researchers have provided briefings to the Maryland House Ways and Means Committee, offering data-driven insights on responsible gaming and problem gambling to support informed legislative discussion.

The key to unlocking this knowledge and creating better regulations and policies is opening up sports wagering data in a way that both protects individuals’ privacy and allows for deep analysis of the behaviors present in the data.
