Indiana wants to ban sweepstakes gaming. ARB Interactive co-founder and CEO Patrick Fechtmeyer wants Indiana to regulate it instead. ARB Interactive owns Modo Casino and recently acquired Publishers Clearing House (PCH).
When legislators signaled they were moving forward with legislation to close the door on sweepstakes-style gaming platforms, Fechtmeyer traveled to Indiana to make the case himself.
Fechtmeyer’s pitch was direct and to the point: regulation, not prohibition, would protect consumers, capture tax revenue, and keep younger users from taking their dollars to offshore sites. Lawmakers weren’t convinced, but Fechtmeyer isn’t backing down.
