Prominent iGaming Attorney Jeff Ifrah Leads eSports Webinar

American Bar Association Presentation Will Examine Legal Issues Surrounding New Industry

WASHINGTON, DC – June 22, 2017 /MarketersMedia/ —

Founding partner of Ifrah Law and gaming law expert Jeff Ifrah hosted a CLE-credit webinar for the American Bar Association entitled “eSports & the Legal Landscape: A Primer on the Emerging eSports Industry.”

Joined by attorney Bryce Blum, Jeff discussed legal issues surrounding eSports, including finance, immigration, gaming, gambling and betting, cyber security, business law, advertising, and underage play. Additionally, Jeff provided a general overview of the current eSports market, discussed recent government and class action challenges, and provided predictions for the future of the industry.

“This year, eSports events have sold out Madison Square Garden, the Staples Center and Key Arena, and television broadcast viewership often exceeded that of many traditional sports like baseball and hockey. The global games market will generate $100 billion in revenues by the end of the year,” said Ifrah. “The industry’s meteoric rise comes with legal, social and regulatory challenges.”

Named a leading lawyer by Chambers & Partners, Jeff was recently a featured presenter at the second annual U.S. eSports Conference, where he addressed the industry’s top eSports operators, players, publishers, developers and media firms on how lessons from the iGaming industry can be successfully applied to the emerging eSports market.
