into law, requiring sports betting operators to include warnings of potential harm and addictive effects of gambling in their advertisements.
The law also requires the New York Gaming Commission to cooperate with the Commissioner of Addiction Services and Supports to provide a gambling hotline number on all gaming ads. “Protecting New Yorkers from the dangerous and addictive effects of problem gambling and sports betting is vitally important for the prosperity of our great state,” Hochul said in a statement. “I want New Yorkers to be able to safely enjoy the activities they love, while proceeding with caution when necessary.
“We are excited that the Governor recognizes this bill as an important step forward in protecting New Yorkers that may be vulnerable to a gambling addiction,” assemblymember Clyde Vanel said. “With this new law, we are strengthening the protection of New Yorkers across our state. These new changes to the gambling advertisements law will help to promote responsible gaming practices and provide support for those who need it.
New York Addiction Services and Supports commissioner Dr. Chinazo Cunningham said with more gambling access than ever before, it’s important that New Yorkers are educated on associated risks and provided with proper resources. “New York residents have access to various gambling options, including casinos, racetracks, the lottery and sports betting platforms like FanDuel and DraftKings,” State senator Leroy Comrie said. “It’s essential that users are informed about the risks of addiction and know where to seek help if needed. While revenue for the state is certainly important, promoting responsible gambling and safeguarding our communities is also critical.
