Bill > A00382

This bill expands existing advertising regulations for gaming facilities to include mobile sports wagering licensees, ensuring consistent advertising standards across different types of gambling platforms. The legislation requires that all advertisements by gaming and mobile sports wagering licensees must be factual, non-deceptive, and adhere to specific guidelines: they cannot obscure material facts, must clearly state any conditions or limitations, prohibit depicting anyone under 21 participating in gambling activities, and include the name and location of the gaming facility. The bill mandates that all advertisements prominently display a problem gambling hotline number, and for video advertisements, this number must be visible throughout the entire ad. Additionally, the legislation requires licensees to provide a way for individuals to opt out of receiving direct advertisements and to maintain a two-year record of all advertisements, which must be submitted to the gaming commission within five business days of public dissemination. The goal appears to be protecting consumers by ensuring transparent, responsible, and age-appropriate gambling advertising. The bill will take effect 90 days after becoming law.
