The Michigan Gaming Control Board (MGCB) hosted a panel discussion on June 3, 2024, focusing on college sports betting regulations and compliance measures. The event, held at Cadillac Place in Detroit, brought together industry experts to shed light on the complexities of governing college sports betting and the importance of maintaining integrity within the industry.

Among the panelists were Dave Murley from the MGCB, Mark Hicks from the NCAA, Richard Taylor from BetMGM, and Dan Trolaro from IC360. The panelists discussed key aspects of college sports betting, including rules, regulations, and compliance measures, aiming to enhance understanding and ensure adherence to established guidelines.
