New York is moving to crack down on underage sports betting and problem gambling.
Gov. Kathy Hochul has previewed sweeping new measures that would block minors from accessing betting apps and limit how companies target users.
The proposal would require stricter age verification, biometric identification and even preventing gambling apps from being downloaded on devices used by underage New Yorkers.
For adults, new safeguards look at risky behavior like flagging when a bettor deposits large amounts over certain time periods or if they display other problem gambling habits.
Potential intervention triggered by that behavior could range from warnings, to a mandatory video, to direct outreach and even account suspension.
State regulators are looking for public input before finalizing the final rules.
