A 6944 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Requires warnings for mobile gaming

This bill requires licensed mobile wagering services (like gambling apps) to display specific addiction warnings at three key times: during account creation, after 48 hours of inactivity, and every two hours of active use. The warning must cover the entire screen with clear text stating risks like "mobile wagering can be highly addictive," long-term financial loss, suicide risks, and how to self-exclude. Users must acknowledge the warning via a button before accessing the service, and operators face $10,000 daily penalties for non-compliance. It directly affects mobile gambling platforms operating under New York's racing and wagering laws.
