West Virginia bill would let regulator ban bettors who harass sports figures
West Virginia House Bill 4700, which has passed both legislative chambers, is heading to Governor Jim Justice. The bill would allow the state's betting regulator to bar people from wagering through mobile apps or retail sportsbooks if they harass players, coaches or officials in person or online.
If enacted, the measure would give the regulator authority to exclude bettors for harassment across mobile and retail channels.
