IC360 Partners with UNLV Sports Innovation Institute 

The collaboration will spearhead several forward-thinking initiatives encompassing sports betting, data analytics, responsible gaming, mental health, industry research, and workforce development.

Key Initiatives

As part of this partnership, IC360 will actively participate in the Sports, Entertainment, and Innovation Conference (SEICon). This event, co-hosted by the UNLV Sports Innovation Institute, Syracuse’s David B. Falk College of Sport, and Circle, Inc., serves as a global platform for thought leaders and experts to collaborate, educate, and innovate within the sports industry.

The partnership will also establish an internship program, providing UNLV students with invaluable hands-on experience. Students will work closely with IC360 professionals, gaining specialized training and contributing to projects in the sports integrity and compliance sector. This program is designed to bridge academic learning with real-world industry applications.

Leadership Perspectives

Jay Vickers, COO of UNLV’s Sports Innovation Institute, highlighted the significance of this collaboration: “This is an incredible opportunity to partner with a Las Vegas-based company that shares our commitment to integrity and fair play at a time when sports wagering is at an all-time high. This collaboration also presents an opportunity for UNLV’s world-renowned International Gaming Institute to share and leverage resources, while creating real-world experiences for our students.”

Matthew Holt, CEO and co-founder of USI, expressed his enthusiasm for SEICon and the partnership: “You won’t find a better place to start a new convention of sport minds and gambling experts, coupled with entertainment and innovation than at SEI-Con. I’m incredibly impressed with Jay and his UNLV team for bringing this together so quickly. We’re excited to collaborate and more importantly participate at SEI-Con while supporting our hometown of Las Vegas, Nevada.”
