The Louisiana Gaming Control Board convened on September 18, 2025, to discuss important updates to the problem gambling program for Betfair Interactive US LLC, operating as FanDuel Sportsbook. This meeting highlighted the ongoing commitment to responsible gaming practices in the state, ensuring that gaming licensees prioritize the health and safety of Louisiana residents.

Assistant Attorney General Sharon McCoy and FanDuel's Senior Compliance Manager Ali Frank presented the proposed updates to the board. The updates are part of the requirements set forth by the Uniform Compulsive Gaming Act, which mandates that all gaming operators develop comprehensive programs to address compulsive and problem gambling. This legislation underscores the importance of safeguarding the welfare of citizens engaged in gaming activities.

The proposed changes to FanDuel's program were thoroughly reviewed by the Louisiana State Police, Gaming Enforcement Division, and the Louisiana Association on Compulsive Gambling. Following their recommendations, FanDuel made necessary adjustments to ensure compliance with state laws and regulations. The board's approval of these updates reflects a proactive approach to managing gambling-related issues and reinforces the state's dedication to responsible gaming.

In addition to the FanDuel discussion, the meeting served as a platform for broader conversations about gaming regulations and community impacts. The board's actions are crucial in shaping a safe gaming environment, ultimately benefiting residents by promoting responsible gambling practices.

As Louisiana continues to navigate the complexities of the gaming industry, the approval of these updates marks a significant step toward enhancing support for individuals affected by gambling issues. The board's commitment to oversight and regulation aims to foster a healthier gaming landscape for all Louisianans.
