Bill > A6009

This bill prohibits casino and sports wagering licensees, along with their employees, agents, and contracted operators, from advertising on internet platforms and websites primarily used by children under 12 years old, including mobile applications. Specifically, the bill bars these gambling-related businesses from posting, distributing, broadcasting, or otherwise making casino gaming or sports pool advertisements viewable on such platforms, as well as from sponsoring or financing such advertisements within the state. The Division of Gaming Enforcement is directed to establish and implement rules and regulations to enforce this prohibition, using the Administrative Procedure Act as a framework, and to take any necessary legal actions to ensure full compliance. The bill will go into effect 60 days after its enactment, providing a transition period for affected businesses to adjust their advertising strategies to comply with the new restrictions. The primary intent appears to be protecting young children from exposure to gambling-related content on platforms designed for their age group.
