LINWOOD, N.J., March 8, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- A team of global gaming experts from multiple disciplines will inaugurate a series of free webinars, beginning Thursday, March 15, with a special session designed to guide state lawmakers and other stakeholders as they prepare for the potential legalization of sports betting in the United States.

The inaugural webinar, "Understanding the Controls, Harnessing Power of Sports Wagering," will be presented by Sportradar, GeoComply and Spectrum Gaming Group, under the auspices of the National Council of Legislators from Gaming States (NCLGS).
