David Tsai named as Featured Speaker at Regulating the Game 2025 Sydney

David Tsai, CEO of Crown Resorts, has been named as a Featured Speaker of next month’s Regulating the Game conference, taking place at Sofitel Sydney Darling Harbour on March 10–13.

Tsai, who was appointed as Crown Resorts CEO in October 2024, brings two decades of integrated resorts experience to his leadership role. Joining Crown in December 2022, he initially served as CEO of Crown Perth before stepping into the top position following the departure of Ciarán Carruthers.

His career includes over 15 years with MGM Resorts International, where he held senior roles such as President of the Midwest Group, overseeing MGM Grand Detroit and MGM Northfield Park. During his tenure, he led large-scale transformations, such as the $550 million redevelopment of the Monte Carlo Resort & Casino into new lifestyle luxury brands Park MGM and NoMad Las Vegas.

“Regulating the Game provides a great platform to discuss the regulatory landscape for the gaming industry. I look forward to sharing our insights, learnings, and vision to embrace guest safety and wellbeing while becoming the leading entertainment destinations in Australia,” Tsai said.

“David’s extensive experience in leading integrated resorts and driving transformative projects brings a unique perspective to the conference. His insights into strategic leadership, operational excellence, and navigating complex regulatory environments will be invaluable to attendees,” Paul Newson, Principal at Vanguard Overwatch, said.
