Hopefully it passes but I doubt it. The lobbyists are already doing their thing to either neuter the bill or kill it entirely.
I especially like the part where they wouldn’t be allowed to advertise sports betting during a set period of time of day, including during games. If sports betting is so great, you don’t need to tell people they can go do it during the game they’re already watching.

> If passed, the SAFE Bet act would prohibit gambling operators from running advertisements between the hours of 8 a.m. and 10 p.m. and during live sporting events. It would put an end to the practice of offering customers « bonus bets, » « no sweat bets » and other similar incentives.
>In terms of affordability, the proposed legislation would prevent operators from accepting more than five deposits from a single customer within a 24-hour period, prohibit operators from accepting credit card deposits and require gambling companies to conduct « affordability checks » on customers before they place wagers of more than $1,000 within a 24-hour period.
This is never happening lol. Somehow the gambling companies and gamblers both get screwed

As much as I wish online gambling was just made illegal and OTB was just brought back to full that void.
I really wish this bill could actually get passed, even if it has no chance.

Seems dumb, and I don’t even gamble.

This is good, common sense legislation that would benefit nearly all Americans. Of course it won’t pass.

good. MLB in particular getting in bed with sports gambling is actively killing my interest in the game at the professional level as a 30+ year baseball fan. i know its making them crazy amounts of money, but i think at some point they might realize they’ve alienated a significant portion of people who actually love baseball just to cater to gambling addicts who will bet on anything. and the people they’ve alienated won’t make it a point to pass along the love of the game as a tradition to the next generation.
