Advertising sports betting services and other forms of gambling on public billboards could soon become illegal in New York if a state senator gets her way.
Last week, Democratic Senator and former New York State Assembly member Nathalia Fernandez submitted a bill that proposes a ban on billboard advertisements that promote “gambling or sports wagering. This move aims to restrict the visibility of such ads in public spaces across the state, potentially impacting the marketing strategies of gambling operators. The bill is part of a broader effort to regulate the advertising of gambling activities and protect consumers from excessive exposure to betting promotions.
