Relates to establishing consumer-protection standards for high-value customer programs offered by mobile sports wagering operators
This bill establishes consumer-protection standards for high-value customer programs (such as VIP or elite tiers) offered by mobile sports wagering operators. It requires operators to conduct an affordability review before enrollment, checking income, gambling history, and self-exclusion status, and to re-evaluate enrolled customers quarterly. The bill bans incentives tied to losses, continued betting to recoup losses, or gifts based on spending thresholds, and prohibits enrollment of anyone under 25 or on a gambling self-exclusion list. Operators must also maintain written policies for these programs and oversee them with an employee approved by the gaming commission.
