Relates to knowingly encouraging a gambling addiction
This bill creates civil penalties for gambling businesses (like casinos or online platforms) that knowingly encourage gambling addiction through direct human contact with customers. It defines "knowingly encouraging" using factors such as a customer's income, wagering history, communication about addiction, or if the business ignored self-exclusion requests. Violators face fines up to three times the customer's wagers, and affected individuals can sue for damages, including all money wagered and legal fees. Contracts cannot waive these rights, ensuring victims have legal recourse.
