I urge you to do whatever you can to bring mobile sports betting to New York. I want to place bets directly from my phone or computer, from my home, just like what people can do in so many other states across the country, including in New Jersey and Pennsylvania. Sports fans across New York are currently placing bets through illegal platforms that lack critical security features and provide no consumer protections. A lot of these illegal apps seem legitimate, but they don’t have secure payment systems, tools for responsible gaming or protections against underage play. I believe that you should stand up for consumer protections, including those that we desperately need for sports betting in New York. Sports betting money should stay right here in New York instead of going to unregulated operators, illegal bookies and other states like New Jersey and Pennsylvania, which is what is happening right now without mobile betting.
