Bill Summary
AN ACT to amend the racing, pari-mutuel wagering and breeding law, in relation to prohibiting mobile sports wagering advertisements during live sporting events
AI Summary
This bill amends the racing, pari-mutuel wagering and breeding law to prohibit mobile sports wagering licensees from publicly broadcasting advertisements during live sporting events. Specifically, the legislation would ban any advertisements related to mobile sports betting platforms during the broadcast of a live sporting event. This means that companies offering mobile sports betting services would be forbidden from running commercials, promotional messages, or other marketing content while a sporting event is being televised or streamed live. The restriction appears aimed at reducing the visibility and potential influence of sports betting advertisements during sporting events, potentially to address concerns about gambling promotion during sports programming. The bill would take effect immediately upon becoming law, applying to all mobile sports wagering licensees in the state of New York.
