EUA – IAGA nomeia ganhadores do Prêmio Shannon Bybee Scholarship 2018

A Associação Internacional de Consultores de Jogos (IAGA) anunciou os ganhadores do Shannon Bybee Scholarship Award 2018, um programa anual que premia os melhores trabalhos de pesquisa acadêmica escritos sobre tópicos relevantes de jogos por estudantes credenciados de faculdades de direito como parte de seus trabalhos de aula durante o ano escolar.

As inscrições anuais são solicitadas a estudantes de direito em faculdades de direito norte-americanas e julgadas por um comitê de advogados membros da IAGA que praticam direito de jogos. Os bolsistas de 2018 são:

“The Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act and its Legal Implications: How Its Invalidation Will Impact Indian Gaming’s Legal and Regulatory Framework” by Francisco Olea, University of Arizona College of Law

“It’s Time for Wizards to Give Up the Illusion and Show Their Cards: How Wizards of the Coast Circumvent Gaming Law to Make Millions” by David M. Stern, UNLV William S. Boyd School of Law

“The Bybee Scholarship is an excellent way to encourage the next generation of gaming industry legal experts to become engaged in critical gaming issues,” commented Jennifer Roberts, Bybee Scholarship Committee Co-Chair and Associate Director of the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV) International Center for Gaming Regulation. “With so many interesting topics to cover, this year we received a diverse selection of submissions covering everything from exploring problem gambling issues in Victoria, Australia to online gaming regulations in Canada and the US, and the impact of the sports betting invalidation of PASPA for tribes. We are pleased that we continue to receive such excellent submissions and look forward to presenting this year’s winners with their awards at IAGA’s G2E cocktail reception in Las Vegas.”

The Shannon Bybee Scholarship Award was established to honour the memory of Shannon Bybee, one of IAGA’s founders who had a distinguished career as a gaming attorney, Nevada regulator, industry executive and pioneer in the field of education in casino operations and gaming law. Inducted into the American Gaming Association’s Hall of Fame in 2002 because of his significant contributions to responsible gaming, Bybee also played an important role in the development of problem gambling regulations and advocacy.

O Bybee Scholarship Award deste ano foi generosamente patrocinado pela Everi. Anunciado o prazo final para inscrições em 2019 A IAGA também anunciou que o prazo final para inscrições em 2019 será 30 de junho, e os trabalhos vencedores serão anunciados durante o coquetel de recepção da IAGA 2019, realizado durante a exposição Global Gaming Expo (G2E) em Las Vegas.
