Position Overview?
Online betting markets – including online sports betting, online casino gaming, and sports-related event contracts – are expanding quickly, and the policy and regulatory frameworks governing them have struggled to keep pace. This is putting consumers, particularly young men, at risk. Policymakers at both the state and federal levels are taking notice but need better data about the impact of these products and the reforms to ensure that online betting markets are well-regulated, transparent, and designed with public health and consumer protection in mind.
The Fellow will help lead AV’s efforts to strengthen the evidence base around the impact of these new gambling products, and to generate actionable insights for policymakers, regulators, and advocates who want stronger guardrails around these products. The Fellow will develop real-time intelligence and analysis across state and federal policy; translate complex market dynamics and rigorous research into impactful, policy recommendations; and drive a grantmaking and policy change strategy that will advance evidence-based reforms.
This role offers opportunities for hands-on policy analysis, project development, and close collaboration with senior leadership, including the CEO and Co-Founders. The role may be based in AV’s Houston, Washington, DC, or New York offices.
