New York gaming commission considers biometrics for sports betting accounts
New York State Gaming Commission Chairman Brian O’Dwyer said the commission will consider biometric checks to prevent underage access to sports betting accounts. He also said the commission would consider consequences for adults who share accounts with people under 21 and continue working with the Office of Addiction Services and Supports on technology to connect users with help.
Potential biometric checks and account-sharing consequences could change sports betting operators’ access controls in New York.
