Lawmakers and regulators in several major U.S. sports betting markets are weighing new restrictions on in-play and props betting, signaling continued scrutiny of how legal betting is offered. Proposals under discussion in states such as New York, New Jersey, and Indiana reflect growing concerns around betting integrity and player protections, even as regulated sports wagering continues to expand nationwide.
In New York, the debate intensified this past week after Democratic Assemblymember Linda Rosenthal introduced Assembly Bill A9343. The legislation would require the New York State Gaming Commission to immediately prohibit sportsbooks from accepting in-play wagers. If enacted, the measure would represent one of the most aggressive steps taken by a state to restrict live betting markets, which have become a major driver of sports betting activity.
