Gaming Laboratories International, LLC (GLI) appreciates the opportunity to comment on the proposed rules regarding the regulation of sports wagering and looks forward to assisting the Virginia Lottery Board in further refining the details of these rules as well as provide recommendations on additional rules as seen fit. We hope the below feedback is useful and we are available at any time to clarify or further discuss any of the items presented below.
The GLI team agrees completely with principal objectives for sports wagering as stated by the Virginia Lottery Board – avoid overly-prescriptive rules, do not create a barrier to entry, ensure the integrity of sports wagering conducted in the state of Virginia and ensure player fairness.
The proposed rules were compared to existing sports wagering rules and regulations including, but not limited to, Tennessee, New Jersey, Washington DC, Indiana, and Iowa. The below comments were collected in effort to identify areas within the proposed rules that may warrant either additional clarification and or consideration.
While many of the comments are focused on layout of the document, others are focused on the content of the requirements themselves. Within this section is a list of some high-level comments.
Thank you for the opportunity to share our thoughts with the commission. Please let us know if we may be of any further assistance on this or any other matter.
