An Act addressing economic, health and social harms caused by sports betting
SD 1657 restricts sports betting by banning in-play and proposition bets, requiring operators to conduct affordability assessments before allowing daily wagers exceeding $1,000 or monthly wagers over $10,000, and prohibiting operators from earning commissions based on wager amounts. The bill limits advertising for promotions like bonus offers, odds boosts, and risk-free wagers during televised sports events. It also mandates that operators share anonymized customer data with the state to support research on gambling addiction and develop harm-reduction strategies, including tracking player behavior and demographics. These changes directly affect sports betting operators and bettors within the state.
