Racing and Gaming Conference at Saratoga to Spotlight Anti-Money Laundering (AML) Enforcement | | |
SARATOGA SPRINGS, NY – A panel of experts will debate whether state regulators have what they need to combat ever-more-sophisticated financial crimes when the Racing and Gaming Conference at Saratoga returns to the Saratoga Hilton on August 11-13, 2025.
The conference will once again bring together leaders from the gambling and horse racing industries, along with policymakers, regulators, and Wall Street dealmakers.
| | |
This year’s agenda will include a timely and critical discussion: “AML Enforcement in the Gaming Sector: Are State Regulators Adequately Equipped?” As financial crimes become more complicated – driven by advances in digital payments, cryptocurrencies, and global actors – state gaming regulators are increasingly serving on the front lines of anti-money laundering enforcement. This session will examine whether current tools, legal authorities, and interagency coordination are sufficient to confront these emerging threats.
Marc Rubinstein, Partner at Reid Rubinstein Bogatz, will serve as moderator. Speakers will include:
- Jennifer Russo-Belles, Deputy Attorney General, NJ Division of Gaming Enforcement
- Danielle Holmes, Partner, Hodgson Russ LLP
- Adrienne Lodge, COO, NFC Global
| | The conference will feature 12 expert panel discussions tackling the industry’s most pressing issues. Attendees will also enjoy a Welcome Reception at the historic Adelphi Hotel, a networking happy hour, and a Day at the Races at the world-renowned Saratoga Race Course. | | Booking your accommodations early is highly recommended. A room block is available at the host Saratoga Hilton; group rates are available through July 9. Room blocks are filling quickly, so don’t miss the opportunity to book your stay in one of the nation’s most iconic racing communities. | | |
