A Minnesota Senate Finance Committee hearing Wednesday explored the potential economic, health, and social harms of online sports betting, highlighting concerns ranging from financial instability to domestic violence and mental health.
The debate about sports betting in Minnesota began again on Wednesday with a lot of talk about the bad and ugly parts of legal wagering, but any talk of good will have to wait for another day.
“They're basically preying on vulnerable people, and they don't want to talk about that,” the chair said. “So I think they'd rather ignore the hearing.” “It's taking a known, dangerous, and addictive product and then blending it with a fraudulent and manipulative financial scheme,” Bernal said. Litt added that the United Kingdom and Ireland are “years ahead” in the regulation of VIP programs, so much so that some operators doing business on both sides of the Atlantic have voluntarily curtailed those efforts abroad but not stateside.There was a more supportive voice during Wednesday’s hearing, DFL Sen. Nick Frentz, who intends to back sports betting legalization this upcoming session.
