Antigua St. John’s -  The Financial Services Regulatory Commission (FSRC) is pleased to announce that Director of Gaming Ms. Kaye McDonald was selected as Gaming Regulator of the Year: Evolving Jurisdiction by the International Masters of Gaming Law (IMGL).

The IMGL proudly announced the recipients of its  Annual Gaming Regulator of the Year awards on August 27, 2012.

These awards, which continue the IMGL mission of “Advancing Gaming Law Through Education,” are given annually to worthy individuals in recognition of their contribution to the gaming law body of work.

For the first time, the IMGL honoured four regulators from around the world for their contribution to the gaming industry. In the past, IMGL gave only one award annually and rotated jurisdictions.

This year, the IMGL awarded outstanding gaming regulator in four categories: The Americas, Europe, Indian Gaming, and Evolving Jurisdictions. Awardees are selected from gaming regulators across the globe who have been nominated by their colleagues.
