Washington lawmakers are considering a new proposal aiming to resolve the long-running issue of children gaining access to gambling apps.
Congressman Josh Gottheimer, along with a bipartisan group of lawmakers and Kalshi CEO Tarek Mansour, introduced the “Facial Recognition to Protect Children Act” on July 15. The bill, if passed, would mandate a facial recognition check to verify the age of individuals attempting to access online gambling platforms. This measure is designed to enhance protections against underage gambling and ensure stricter age verification processes within the industry.
