Every sports betting advertisement in New York may soon have to deliver words of warning along with any words of encouragement.
The passage of a New York Senate bill is part of the political response to sports betting-related advertising concerns that have troubled lawmakers and regulators over the past two years.
The New York State Senate passed Senate Bill 1550 on Thursday by a 57-0 vote, giving its seal of approval to a measure that will require all gambling and sports betting ads to include disclaimers about the"potential harmful and addictive effects" of wagering. S1550 would require the New York State Gaming Commission to cooperate with the commissioner of the Office of Addiction Services and Supports to ensure all gambling ads"clearly and conspicuously state a problem gambling hotline number.”. S1550, sponsored by Democratic Sen. Leroy Comrie, would take effect 60 days after it becomes law, if it indeed becomes law.That may not take too long.
“In New York State, gambling can be found everywhere from physical casinos to a multitude of online websites and apps,” Comrie’s sponsor note on the bill says. “The advent of the internet has made gambling more accessible through online betting platforms. As gambling becomes more easily accessed by more people, the number of lives negatively affected by gambling has also increased. This can lead to serious consequences for both the gambler and their family.
“In the unprecedented growth of gambling, where it is easy to place bets with PayPal, credit cards, bitcoin, or money-transfer apps; it is also important as a state to be proactive identifying and preventing potential problems of gambling,” it adds.
