Howard Glaser, Global Head of Government Affairs and Legislative Counsel, Light & Wonder
After slaying the illegal sweepstakes casino dragon, Howard Glaser has set his sights on another, more formidable opponent, prediction markets.
Glaser, the global head of government affairs for Light & Wonder, has crisscrossed the world over the last several years staking the claim of legal gaming companies against those who would skirt the gambling laws. Light & Wonder only does business with legal gaming operators so Glaser is doing the company’s bidding while protecting the industry as a whole.
He talks about his battle with the sweepstakes sites and explains why prediction markets are very different, and what strategies he is pursuing to make them obey state and national gaming laws. He spoke with GGB Podcast host Roger Gros at the Venetian in Las Vegas for G2E 2026 in October.
