New York lawmakers propose banning bettors who harass sports participants
New York senator Toby Ann Stavisky introduced a bill that would let the New York State Gaming Commission bar bettors found to have harassed athletes or other sports participants. The proposal would provide designated bettors an opportunity to appeal or seek removal; it has been referred to a Senate committee.
If enacted, the measure would give the commission a new tool to exclude bettors for harassment linked to sports wagering.
