There are only four U.S. states where iGaming is legal, but it has boomed in those states during the Covid-19 crisis. The reason is simple: it’s the only kind of gambling available to players on those states—or any state for that matter. The session will be held on Thursday, May 14 at 2 p.m. eastern.

Moving Forward: iGaming in the Covid-19 Era
While most of the gaming industry has been devastated by the Covid-19 crisis, one part of the business is thriving. With players barred from casinos, online gaming has taken a giant leap forward. Not only does it provide continuing revenue for casino companies in times such as these, but states collect taxes where none existed before. But will the bloom fade when the crisis is over, or will states and jurisdictions rush to fill the void left by the continued absence of iGaming? Experts will discuss the long-term viability of online gaming and how the Covid-19 crisis has awakened some of its most subtle critics.
