SAFE Bet Act of 2025
The SAFE Bet Act of 2025 establishes federal standards for sports wagering, requiring states to have approved programs that protect consumers and maintain competition integrity. It prohibits betting on events that have already started, restricts proposition bets on amateur and intercollegiate sports, and bans reload bonuses and VIP programs that could encourage excessive gambling. The bill requires sports wagering operators to conduct affordability checks for large deposits, maintain detailed records of wagers, and report suspicious transactions to state regulators. It also creates a national self-exclusion list for individuals seeking to limit their betting and mandates an annual survey on problem gambling. The law aims to balance the economic benefits of sports betting with consumer protections and public health considerations.
