American Gaming Association Slams New Sports Betting Bill as a ‘Slap In The Face’ – Business 2 Community
The American Gaming Association (AGA) has called a new sports betting bill “a slap in the face” to the gaming industry. The bill, which was introduced in Congress last week, aims to impose strict regulations on sports betting operators.
In a statement released by the AGA, the organization criticized the bill for its overly burdensome regulations that would stifle innovation and growth in the sports betting industry. The AGA argued that the bill would create unnecessary barriers for operators and limit consumer choice.
“Sports betting has been a boon for the gaming industry, providing new revenue streams and exciting opportunities for consumers,” said AGA President Bill Miller. “This bill is a step in the wrong direction and would only serve to hinder the progress we have made in expanding sports betting across the country.”
The AGA is urging lawmakers to reconsider the bill and work with the gaming industry to develop regulations that are fair and balanced. The organization is also calling on Congress to prioritize policies that support the growth of the sports betting industry and protect consumers.
As the debate over sports betting regulations continues, the AGA remains committed to advocating for policies that promote a competitive and vibrant gaming industry. Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story.
