MOUNT HOPE, N.Y.–New York Gov. Kathy Hochul is weighing measures to curb underage online gambling and restrict the use of AI by sports betting operators to target customers, part of a broader push to strengthen online safety and protect at-risk gamblers.
This comes after the governor directed the New York State Gaming Commission in early January to draw up measures aimed at preventing young people from accessing betting apps or accounts, and to explore using new technology to identify and support those who may need help with gambling addiction.
