""Mobile sports wagering is everywhere, enticing everyone - including our youth - to place bets without fully considering the consequences. We need strong regulatory safeguards to prevent those under 21 from gambling, keep artificial intelligence from preying on gamblers, and require sports wagering operators take real action if one of their customers is showing signs of gambling harm.""
""A major piece of the plan appears to target underage gambling. While sportsbooks already use identity checks, officials say younger users still find ways in, often by accessing someone else's account. To close those gaps, regulators are considering tighter controls.""
New York Governor Kathy Hochul is implementing a comprehensive plan to strengthen online gambling regulations, focusing on preventing youth access and addressing addiction. The proposals include stricter age-verification systems, device registration, and biometric tools to ensure account security. The Gaming Commission aims to limit access from unfamiliar devices and locations, requiring identity confirmation before bets are placed. Additionally, individuals allowing underage gambling may face bans from gambling in New York State. These measures are part of a broader effort to safeguard New Yorkers from harmful gambling behaviors.
