Stakeholders want federal assistance to help with rising responsible gambling challenges and new technologies.
Federal officials should pursue stronger responsible gaming tools and clearer regulations on new gaming offerings, a panel of industry stakeholders said during a webinar Thursday.
“Legislatively something's going to have to be done because every year or two something new comes along that you're going to have to continue to deal with,” said ProhiBet Managing Director Matt Heap. “The fact of the matter is it moves so fast, a regulated government entity cannot keep up with that at the speed that it changes and new things.”Nearly 40 states have approved some form of legal sports betting since 2018 and another seven permit real money online casinos.
One such tool would be a national digital self-exclusion list, Heap said. The current state-by-state patchwork for mobile and in-person exclusion lets problem gamblers cross state lines and continue gambling irresponsibly.Aside from national responsible gambling tools, speakers at today’s panel have opposed. There's a growing consensus Congress and the Justice Department should take on policies for the growing number of online offerings state officials don't regulate.
