Compliance Workshop Description

An excellent opportunity to join the National Indian Gaming Commission (NIGC) in-person, as we 

spend two full days presenting our first comprehensive Compliance Workshop! Attendees will take 

a deep dive into the responsibilities tribes undertake when they game under the Indian Gaming 

Regulatory Act (IGRA). This interactive, in-person workshop is designed for the newer and 

seasoned regulatory agent(s) and will guide attendees through understanding your roles and 

responsibilities to assist you in the protection of your tribe’s gaming assets. Immerse yourself with 

other regulators throughout the country, in two full days of tribes’ IGRA responsibilities, for a 

pathway to ensuring compliance with IGRA’s requirements.

Morning Session

Critical thinking will take center stage as attendees 

will discuss the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act, Tribal 

Gaming Ordinance, and the Designation of Authority. 

The group will develop a path of questions designed 

to navigate your role, responsibilities, authorities, and 

ultimately, compliance with IGRA. Attendees will 

engage in activities that will include identifying what is 

gambling, where is the gambling occurring, what 

classification of gaming is it, who owns the gambling, 

is it authorized by tribal law, and what regulations 

apply to gambling.
