Earlier this week, A1118, sponsored by Assemb. Clyde Vanel, was approved on the Assembly floor and sent on to the Senate for approval.

The proposal calls for gambling and NY sports betting companies to include information within its advertising that highlights the potential dangers of legal gambling.

“Requires all advertisements for gambling and sports betting to include warnings about potential harmful and addictive effects of gambling; requires the state gaming commission to cooperate with the commissioner of addiction services and supports to ensure that all advertisements for gaming activity state a problem gambling hotline number.”
