ALBANY, N.Y. (WCAX) – New York Governor Kathy Hochul is cracking down on problem gambling.
The governor Tuesday signed a law that requires gambling and sports betting advertisements to include warnings about gambling addiction and a hotline number.
A previous law required that each gambling advertisement include that information but did not extend to mobile sports wagering.
New York began mobile sports wagering two years ago and has seen a rapid increase in demand, fueling concerns from addiction experts.
