Similar to his previous G2E addresses, Miller touched on the need for the gaming industry to take hold of its digital future, including further adoption of digital payment technology and continued expansion of the online gaming sector. He also said the industry needs to promote responsible gaming more.<\/p>\n
He then brought up the industry\u2019s \u201cbiggest threat,\u201d which is what he called illegal gaming. That would include unregulated skill machines set up at convenience stores and online sports betting and iGaming apps offered by offshore operators.<\/p>\n
The AGA and its members cannot stop those operators by themselves, he said. They\u2019ve sought the help of the US Department of Justice, Congress, and state officials on the issue. Other stakeholders, though, need to get involved.<\/p>\n
\nIt’s going to require law enforcement to get aggressive and go after bad actors, businesses to remove unregulated machines, tech companies and the media to cut off these illegal platforms, and policymakers to strengthen laws and close loopholes,\u201d <\/strong>Miller explained. \u201cThis is a fight we’re in for the long haul, and we’re not going to win it overnight. But together, we can and will make it much, much harder for them to do business here in America.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\nHe said that next month the trade organization will release a new report showing that American gamblers wager more than $300 billion each year through unregulated or illegal markets. That includes bets placed through unlicensed skill machines at retail stores and offshore sports betting and iGaming apps. Those operators, Miller said, cost the regulated gaming industry $15 billion in revenue and governments about $4 billion in taxes each year.<\/p>\n

The numbers are in, and while the 2022 edition of the Global Gaming Expo (G2E) didn\u2019t match 2019\u2019s totals, it came close.
