Two Congressmen have introduced new federal legislation that would mandate the U.S. government to conduct a multiyear study into the causes, long-term effects, and treatment of gambling disorders, particularly those related to online sports betting.
New York Democratic Rep. Dan Goldman and Utah Republican Rep. Blake Moore announced last week that their bipartisan Gambling Disorder bill aims to delve into the intricacies of gambling problems, with a focus on online sports betting issues. The proposed legislation seeks to explore the root causes, lasting impacts, and potential treatments for gambling disorders.
