"Receiving research funding from industry has sparked considerable controversy across various fields. Among other concerns, research from an array of fields of study has found a funding effect (i.e., an association between research outcomes and funding source) as well as industry influence related to topics studied and research questions asked. Although two recent reviews of the literature within the gambling field did not find evidence of differences in methodological quality or outcomes in industry funded research compared to research funded from other sources, some gambling researchers have expressed concern for such a potential to exist in industry-funded research." Bonnie Andrews presentation's on Wednesday morning during our Rome 2024 conference explores the institutional approach of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts to research casino gambling and sports wagering activities. Specifically, a research mandate has been conferred upon by the Massachusetts Gaming Commission by legislative enactments and funded by proceed from gaming licensees that are deposited into a dedicated Public Health Trust Fund.

Speaking of international presence, our Emerging Market Challenges panel will delve into market trends that are taking place world wide. Regulatory developments continue to happen around the world. Either new gaming verticals or new jurisdictions legalizing gaming in general, the regulatory landscape continues to change, and this panel will discuss the status of jurisdictions from different regions of the world that are going through these changes. The discussion, moderated by Karen Marcela Sierra-Hughes, will include the challenges around creating legislation where there is an existent non-regulated market, how does regulation adapt to new technology, and the specificities of each jurisdiction where their unique cultural, economic and political situation calls for adaptation of international best practices and regulations.
