Author: The National Lottery and Its Regulation
Author: Andrew DouglasPublisher: A&C Black
ISBN: 9780826455543
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 254
Book Description
The introduction of a National Lottery into the United Kingdom created a unique regulatory challenge. The response to this challenge is embodied in arrangements informed not by international precedent but by privatisation policies pursued by successive Conservative governments between 1979 and 1994 when the Lottery was launched. Dr Douglas assesses the success of the Lottery's regulation against the objectives set out in the enabling legislation: the upholding of the Lottery's propriety, the protection of the players, and the maximising of the funds to be applied to the Good Causes. Lessons learned during the initial Licence period will inform the new seven year Licence from October 2001, the operator chosen for the new term, and in particular the role of the profit motive within the new arrangements.
Cutting The Wire
Author: David G. SchwartzPublisher: University of Nevada Press
ISBN: 0874176530
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 495
Book Description
The story of the Wire Act and how Robert Kennedy’s crusade against the Mob is creating a new generation of Internet gaming outlaws.Gambling has been part of American life since long before the existence of the nation, but Americans have always been ambivalent about it. What David Schwartz calls the “pell-mell history of legal gaming in the United States” is a testament to our paradoxical desire both to gamble and to control gambling. It is in this context that Schwartz examines the history of the Wire Act, passed in 1961 as part of Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy’s crusade against organized crime and given new life in recent efforts to control Internet gambling. Cutting the Wire presents the story of how this law first developed, how it helped fight a war against organized crime, and how it is being used today. The Wire Act achieved new significance with the development of the Internet in the early 1990s and the growing popularity of online wagering through offshore facilities. The United States government has invoked the Wire Act in a vain effort to control gambling within its borders, at a time when online sports betting is soaring in popularity. By placing the Wire Act into the larger context of Americans’ continuing ambivalence about gambling, Schwartz has produced a provocative analysis of a national habit and the vexing predicaments that derive from it. In America today, 48 of 50 states currently permit some kind of legal gambling. Schwartz’s historical unraveling of the Wire Act exposes the illogic of an outdated law intended to stifle organized crime being used to set national policy on Internet gaming. Cutting the Wire carefully dissects two centuries of American attempts to balance public interest with the technology of gambling. Available in hardcover and paperback.

Book Description
The purpose of this criteria is to provide security control standards for the printed lottery system by providing detailed procedures, recommended technologies, and related examples for the lottery industry. Although WLA covers such topics at a good principle level, it is my goal to break them down into further applicable details to help such lottery jurisdictions that have poor technological infrastructure and regulations to better manage their instant lottery business. This document is intended to present examples and to further assist in developing advanced security and risk management plan in order to effectively meet WLA standards. This document will offer basic and proven processes to support those instant lottery jurisdictions that have not yet matured and are sustaining technical operations via their own legacy solutions.
Gambling, Space, and Time
Author: Pauliina RaentoPublisher: University of Nevada Press
ISBN: 0874178673
Category : Games & Activities
Languages : en
Pages : 288
Book Description
The eight essays in Gambling, Space, and Time use a global and interdisciplinary approach to examine two significant areas of gambling studies that have not been widely explored--the ever-changing boundaries that divide and organize gambling spaces, and the cultures, perceptions, and emotions related to gambling. The contributors represent a variety of disciplines: history, geography, sociology, anthropology, political science, and law. The essays consider such topics as the impact of technological advances on gambling activities, the role of the nation-state in the gambling industry, and the ways that cultural and moral values influence the availability of gambling and the behavior of gamblers. The case studies offer rich new insights into a gambling industry that is both a global phenomenon and a powerful engine of local change.
