OASAS and the Gaming Commission are also expanding the specific data they’ll request from mobile sports wagering operators, so they can get a better look at how and who it’s impacting most in New York.
“As we do with other addictions around alcohol and substance use, we have to have a data-driven approach that really uses evidence and best practices,” said Dr. Chinazo Cunningham, commissioner of OASAS.
“Any consideration of further expanding gambling opportunities whether electronic or otherwise, must factor into the broader public health implications of increased gambling availability,” said Robert Williams, executive director of the NYS Gaming Commission.
The state also has a new program starting in two weeks where someone worried they’re gambling too much can bar themselves from participating in any regulated gaming in New York.
