Bill > HB05779

This bill addresses requirements for sports wagering retailers when errors occur before a sporting event begins. Specifically, the legislation mandates that if a sports wagering retailer identifies an error in a sports bet before the start of a sporting event, they must take three immediate actions: first, correct the error itself; second, cancel any sports wagers that are affected by the error; and third, provide a complete refund to all customers impacted by the error. The bill amends Chapter 229b of the general statutes to codify these consumer protection measures, which are designed to ensure fairness and transparency in sports betting transactions. By requiring retailers to proactively address and rectify errors before an event starts, the legislation aims to protect bettors from potential financial losses due to mistakes in sports wagering processes.
