Bill > A09125

This bill, known as the "Fair Play Act," amends the racing, pari-mutuel wagering and breeding law to regulate mobile sports wagering platforms and operators by prohibiting them from limiting the size or frequency of deposits or wagers for authorized sports bettors solely based on the bettor's financial gains or wagering activity. The bill provides two specific exceptions where limitations can be imposed: when there is suspicious wagering activity (as defined in existing law) or indications of a gambling disorder. Additionally, the bill mandates that if an authorized sports bettor is limited or banned, the mobile sports wagering operator must provide electronic written notice within 24 hours, which must include details such as the specific restriction, its duration, an explanation for the restriction (specifying if it's due to suspicious activity or problem gambling), and, in cases of problem gambling, a hotline number. The act will take effect 180 days after becoming law, giving mobile sports wagering platforms time to implement the new requirements.
