In the 12th and final episode of our 12 Days of Regulatory Insights podcast series, Cole White, a member of Troutman Pepper's Regulatory Investigation, Strategy, and Enforcement (RISE) practice group, is joined by Stephen Piepgrass, RISE practice group leader, to discuss recent developments in the online gaming industry.

Stephen and Cole explore the impact of new technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) and cryptocurrencies on the gaming experience, highlighting how AI can tailor gaming experiences and predict problem gaming, while cryptocurrencies expand access but pose regulatory challenges. They also examine emerging trends like the gamification of gambling, the influence of social media, and the rise of micro betting. Additionally, they address the evolving regulatory landscape, focusing on how online social and sweepstakes casinos navigate traditional gambling laws and how regulators are adapting to new gaming innovations. The episode concludes with a look at the future of online gaming regulation and industry efforts to work with legislators to create clear legal frameworks.
