Summary
The Assembly approved A.10329, authored by Assemblymember Kasey, which requires mobile sports‑betting apps to issue monthly invoices showing wagers, wins/losses and problem‑gambling resources; sponsor cited rising wagering and hotline calls and said the measure would take effect the January after enactment.
Assemblymember Kasey’s bill to require monthly invoices for mobile sports‑betting customers passed the Assembly after a floor explanation and questions about timing and scope. The bill, A.10329, directs mobile sports‑betting platforms to provide users a concise monthly statement containing the amounts wagered, wins and losses, the number of bets placed and prominent problem‑gambling hotline information.
Kasey said the change is meant to make wagering data transparent to users and help people recognize and address harmful betting patterns. “In 2025, bettors wagered over $26,000,000,000 in the state of New York,” Kasey said, and cited a spike in calls to problem‑gambling hotlines. She argued that a single monthly invoice, like a credit‑card statement, could prompt users to change behavior by making losses visible.
Members asked whether the bill includes an implementation timetable and how platforms would compile the required data. Kasey said the law would take effect the January following enactment and that platforms already collect the underlying information; they would need to compile and present it in one place. “It’s not like New York State is asking them to collect additional information,” she said, adding that the sponsor would push for the January deadline to hold.
Some members pressed for broader measures addressing underage access, advertising and promotional incentives such as free bets; Kasey said those were adjacent policy issues and that other bills in the package address related topics. A questioner on the floor noted concern about underage access through VPNs and asked whether the bill addressed that point; Kasey acknowledged it did not and said it would require separate action.
After debate and explanation, the clerk recorded the vote: Ayes 143, Nays 0. The bill was passed and will go to the governor for consideration. The measure is intended as a consumer‑protection and harm‑mitigation tool; implementation details and enforcement will be determined through the executive and regulatory processes once enacted.
The Assembly took other votes later in the day and adjourned to reconvene March 25.
