MODERATE

This bill replaces specific amendments to existing rules with a completely new section dedicated to Know Your Customer (KYC) requirements for mobile sports wagering. The new section introduces stricter identity verification standards, including mandatory live photographs and prohibitions on auto-filling user data, to prevent account sharing and proxy betting. It also establishes a formal risk assessment framework to categorize users by gambling risk levels.

Scope change

The bill's scope shifted from amending existing paragraphs to creating an entirely new section (1367-b) that serves as the primary authority for KYC and responsible gaming procedures.

DEFINITION

New definitions were created for 'at-risk', 'elevated-risk', 'high-risk', and 'prospective sports bettors' to enable a tiered approach to monitoring gambling behavior.

'Account sharing' and 'proxy betting' are now formally defined as prohibited activities where one person uses another's account to hide their identity.

REQUIREMENT

Licensees must now collect specific personal data, including a live photograph and last four digits of a Social Security number, before activating an account.

Operators are strictly prohibited from pre-populating, auto-filling, or suggesting any required personal information during the sign-up process.

Previous requirements for a publicly accessible responsible play webpage and an annual problem gaming plan were removed from the text.
