Lawmakers advance sweepstakes gambling bills in four US states
Lawmakers in Louisiana, New York, Montana and Connecticut advanced measures targeting online sweepstakes or simulated gambling, according to the report. Louisiana’s bill passed the Senate 39-0 and went to the House, while Montana’s measure awaited the governor’s signature; the New York and Connecticut proposals remained under legislative review.
The proposals could restrict sweepstakes-style gaming and affect operators and related suppliers across several state markets.
