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 complexities of gambling addiction, with a focus on online sports betting. The proposed study would investigate the root causes, lasting impacts, and potential therapies for gambling disorders, shedding light on this critical issue within the gambling industry.
