US Sports Betting State of Play: Key State Status Report via Gambling.com

- Likely to pass, but will probably require a ballot initiative in November.
- This is because of Democrats wanting money to go to a source other than HOPE scholarships – constitutionally all lottery proceeds go there so this is the only way to divert some of those funds
- A ballot initiative could also open the door for brick and mortar casinos. Years of multi-million dollar campaign contributions could finally pay off for big casino.
- Sports betting unlikely to happen. Too much rancor over the tribes, and the Gov is quietly opposed to any sports betting.
- On track to pass. As long as it doesn’t get bogged down by VLT supporters in the Senate, this could pass in April or early May
- New bill in the House last week, with a hearing likely this week.
- If casinos and tracks can reach an agreement, this should pass easily. If no agreement, maybe a 50/50 shot. This is most likely to be decided in conference committees in May.
- Just getting started, too soon to tell. Prediction is that they’ll talk about it a lot but wimp out in an election year.
- Working on an agreement with Democrats to raise the taxes and fees. The challenge will be if we can maneuver this procedurally (without changing the current bill), and hope that the anti-gambling crowd doesn’t go all out to stop it. We are waiting until after primaries for that reason, so likely end of May/1st of June before anything moves.
- 75% chance of passage.
- Encouraging to have an iGaming bill, but its just the start of what should be a 2-3 year process. No chance they pass this without also addressing the downstate casino expansion.
- Came close to passing a bill to put the question on the ballot re expanding to mobile, passed the Senate but died in House. Governor is rabidly anti-gambling, her admin used some of the most questionable rhetoric to date in opposition to this.
- So far so good. 75% chance passing.
- Unfortunately, still dead on arrival. Churchill is still far from supporting sports betting, especially since they just scrapped their trash mobile app.
- Will introduce a bill this year but it won’t go far. Conversation starter, but they should follow in NC’s footsteps.

The American Gaming Association (AGA) announced the launch of the Play Smart Consumer Hub, a new online resource designed to help consumers game responsibly. The hub builds on AGAâs Play Smart from the Start, a messaging platform that encourages players to make informed choices and develop habits that keep gaming fun.
âThe AGA is committed to making responsible gaming a seamless part of the player experience.

The Play Smart Consumer Hub provides players with straightforward, actionable tools to help them stay in control and keep gaming fun,â said Bill Miller, president and CEO of the AGA.
Grounded in player research, Play Smart from the Start centers around three key principles:
⢠Right State of Mind: Start every game with the right mindsetâstay present, know your limits, and play on your terms.
⢠Know the Game: Understand the rules, odds, and bet with intention.
⢠Act Intentionally: Set a budget, take breaks, and stay aware, win or lose.
The Play Smart Consumer Hub offers practical tools, including:
⢠A Pre-Play Checklist to help players assess their mindset and set personal limits before betting.
⢠A Know the Game section that demystifies odds, house advantage, and common sports betting terms.
⢠A Responsible Gaming IQ Quiz that allows players to evaluate their gaming habits.
⢠Easy access to support resources like the National Problem Gambling Helpline (1-800-GAMBLER) and state self-exclusion options.
In addition to the consumer tools, the platform also features an Industry Toolkit, providing operators and other stakeholders with resources, including messaging guidance, creative assets, customer communications and activation ideas to support the integration of consistent, responsible gaming programs.
âWhether an operator or supplier is building a new responsible gaming program or looking to refresh existing efforts, this toolkit makes it easy to deliver consistent, player-first messaging across every customer touchpoint,â Miller said.
The Play Smart Consumer Hub is now live at playsmartfromthestart.org.
