Conscious Gaming Hires Former Caesars and NFL Executive to Senior Post

Conscious Gaming announced the hiring of sports and gaming industry stalwart Seth Palansky as its new Vice President of Corporate Social Responsibility & Communications.
Palansky comes aboard after more than 17 years with Caesars Entertainment and the National Football League (NFL), to spearhead Corporate Social Responsibility and Communications efforts for the recently established Conscious Gaming, a philanthropic organization committed to utilizing advanced technology to propel social responsibility initiatives.
Conscious Gaming works with gaming operators, regulators, suppliers, responsible gaming advocacy groups, sports leagues, academics and treatment professionals to better protect consumers and enhance responsible gaming.
Just last week Conscious Gaming announced a partnership with GVC Holdings and BetMGM, who have agreed to deploy PlayPause, a multi-state digital self-exclusion tool for the gaming industry to support responsible gaming.
PlayPause is an innovative universal cross-state, cross-operator solution for user identification created to modernize and strengthen the effectiveness of the U.S. gaming industryâs responsible gaming programs. The solution is made available via Conscious Gaming, a non-profit organization established by GeoComply.
âWe believe the benefits of offering a technology-driven self exclusion tool are critical for our industry to ensure we protect all stakeholders,â said Anna Sainsbury, Conscious Gaming Trustee and GeoComply Chairman and Co-Founder. âWe are excited to have Seth join us to front our adoption efforts and work with the industry to deliver Conscious Gamingâs state of the art solution to help simplify, streamline and stay ahead of a complex issue.â
Palansky comes to Conscious Gaming from Caesars Entertainment, where he spent the past dozen years inside Caesarsâ interactive division, Caesars Interactive (CIE), helping successfully launch iGaming in Nevada and New Jersey as its VP of Corporate Communications.
âThis is an incredible opportunity to help rally the gaming and sports industries behind this very important initiative,â said Seth Palansky. âSports betting and iGaming businesses are spreading rapidly throughout the U.S., and in order to ensure their longevity, it is imperative that all stakeholders have their responsible gaming initiatives accommodate the modern habits of those users they aim to protect. Itâs clear Anna and the team are once again prescient in developing this core technology solution to streamline the administrative burden and eliminate the silos associated with maintaining numerous separate state-operated self-exclusion databases. Iâm honored to be chosen to help lead this philanthropic cause to benefit the industries I care so deeply about.â
Conscious Gaming is offering its PlayPause technology tool to anyone in the industry interested in enhancing their responsible gaming program. Those interested should reach out to Seth directly at [email protected].
No stranger to start-up roles, Palansky joined the National Football League (NFL) in 2003 as the first employee of NFL Network, the leagueâs foray into the cable television industry, overseeing the networkâs communications department while managing business communications for the league pertaining to television and other media matters. After successfully contributing to NFL Networkâs launch and growth to more than 55 millions subscribers, Palansky left in 2008 to join Caesarsâ sports and entertainment division in Las Vegas.
Prior to the NFL, Palansky worked in corporate communications for Fox Sports, managing the companyâs 21 owned and operated regional sports networks, Fox Sports Net.
The role at Conscious Gaming perfectly marries Palanskyâs previous experience within the sports and gaming industries. Utilizing his familiarity across the sports, gaming and media worlds, Palansky is charged with coordinating the industryâs adoption of Conscious Gamingâs PlayPause offering, promoting the company and strategizing its corporate social responsibility initiatives as it moves forward.

PHAI Files Lawsuit in Pennsylvania Over Caesarsâ Dangerous Online Casino Promotion and âPay Through Bonusesâ

The Public Health Advocacy Institute (PHAI), a nonprofit advocacy organization that continues to lead the movement to develop a comprehensive public health response to the threat posed by the gambling industry, announced a new lawsuit filed in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, seeking to expose and stop an alleged dangerous, misleading, and illegal âdeposit matchâ promotion by Caesars Online Casino and its brick-and-mortar partner Harrahâs Philadelphia Casino.
In this promotion, Caesars and its partners are luring new customers with a false and misleading promise of a â$2500 deposit match,â according to the lawsuit. Only in the small-print terms and conditions is it disclosed that a new customer playing Blackjack is required to gamble and risk $375,000 in just the first seven days after opening an account. In other words, no money or winnings can be withdrawn unless a total of $375,000 is gambled and risked. All money lost during the first 7-day period is kept by Caesars and Harrahâs Casino.
The lawsuit alleged that Caesars and its partners have effectively rewritten the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania by mandating that new customers gamble up to $375,000 before being paid any of their winnings. The public is not told that the promotion is designed to snare new customers in a âwild chase of action,â where the bonus is unattainable and therefore impossible to win.
Under the leadership of Executive Director Mark Gottlieb, PHAI continues to spearhead the burgeoning movement to bring comprehensive public health change to the threat posed by the gambling industry and its partners across the US.
Gottlieb said: âWe know the gambling industry, with the assistance of the American Gaming Association (AGA) and the National Council of Legislators from Gaming States (NCLGS), is aggressively attempting to push the legalization of online casino gambling across the United States. Thus far, the seven states with online casino gambling seem ill-prepared or unwilling to regulate the wild tactics of the industry. This promotion, engineered by Caesars, is among the most egregious we have seen to date.â
Dr. Harry Levant, Director of Gambling Policy at PHAI, warned that Caesars and others in the gambling industry are acting with impunity, disregarding existing laws, and placing the public directly at risk.
According to Dr. Levant: âIt is unconscionable for a gambling company to knowingly require people to gamble excessively and put their mental health at risk as a condition to cash out their winnings. More importantly, nothing in Pennsylvaniaâs gambling rules or laws permits a casino to refuse payment unless and until customers begin gambling to excess. This is dangerous to Caesarâs customers, immoral, and just plain wrong.â
PHAI Director of Litigation Andrew Rainer, Esq., said: âPHAI continues to utilize the courts to protect clients and the public from unreasonable risks of harm caused by the negligent, careless, and reckless conduct of the gambling industry.â
PHAI Founder and President. Dr. Richard Daynard said: âThe mission of the Public Health Advocacy Institute is to protect public health and advance social justice. The days of the gambling industry disregarding public health and safety are coming to an end. When Caesars doesn’t play fair, it puts playersâ health at risk.â
The case is Brubaker vs Chester Downs and Marina LLC et al. (Ct of Common Pleas, Philadelphia County, First Judicial District, Case ID 250602325).
In December 2023, PHAI and its Center for Public Health Litigation filed a class action suit against DraftKings in Massachusetts that garnered nationwide headlines. In August 2024, a judge in Massachusetts denied DraftKingsâ motion to dismiss, allowing the litigation to move forward.
In October 2024, PHAI filed a lawsuit against the Massachusetts Gaming Commission, asking the court to compel the MGC to adhere to state law and turn over data that casinos compile to track player behavior. Under Section 97 of the Expanded Gaming Act, the Massachusetts Gaming Commission is required to collect behavioral data from casino operators and share anonymized customer data with researchers. This data is essential for analyzing what casino practices are causing harm and who is being harmed. The Gaming Commission has been subject to the legal requirement to collect this data since its formation in 2011. Now, more than a decade later, the Commission has yet to collect a single piece of data from any licensee or make any data available to researchers.
