Paul Tonko urges US sports leagues to back SAFE Bet Act
Congressman Paul Tonko sent letters to seven US sports league commissioners urging support for the SAFE Bet Act, a bill that has stalled in Congress since its March reintroduction. The proposed federal rules would restrict sportsbook advertising and AI use, among other measures; Tonko’s appeal follows two betting scandals that have drawn federal scrutiny.
The proposed restrictions could change advertising and betting practices for operators if Congress adopts the bill.
