Connecticut lawmakers want to implement a ceiling on the amount of money that legal sportsbooks can accept from customers. The House General Law Committee introduced bill SB 1464, which would set a maximum wager amount for all sports bettors and allow Connecticut to join the Multi-State Internet Gaming agreement, which would open the doors to interstate poker games. The proposal will be heard Wednesday. Connecticut mulls sports betting limits A key detail of the bill — the maximum wager amount per customer — has not been established.  Once legislators reach a decision regarding the upper threshold, Connecticut regulators would be required to oversee the implementation of the rule. “[SB 1464 would] require the Commissioner of Consumer Protection to adopt regulations establishing maximum sports wagers for online sports wagering,” Legal Sports Report detailed. The Constitution State has already built momentum toward responsible gambling practices. U.S. Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Connecticut) and U.S. Rep. Paul Tonk (D-New York) this week are prepared to file the SAFE Bet Act, which would bar sports betting television advertisements during live sports broadcasts from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. Connecticut is home to three sportsbooks: DraftKings, Fanatics, and FanDuel. The three helped generate $609.4 million in revenue and $66.4 million in taxes through more than $6 billion in total wagers since Connecticut sports betting launched in October 2021. New Jersey residents want fewer gambling ads As Connecticut looks to reconstruct its sports betting market, nearby New Jersey is doing the same. A poll by Fairleigh Dickinson University released March 7, showed that a majority of respondents favored a limit on the number of sportsbook gambling advertisements that are disseminated. The opinions were shared by the majority of Democrats, Republicans and independents who were represented. The poll also showed majority support for sportsbook advertisement regulations among men and women, Black, White and Hispanic communities, and voters in every age group from under 30 to 65 and up. “If either party is looking for a slam dunk issue in New Jersey, this is it," said Dan Cassino, executive director of the FDU Poll. “Even the groups most likely to take part in gambling, like young men, seem to be fed up with all of the ads.” A separate proposal would decriminalize underage gambling, replacing criminal punishments with civil repercussions. Fines generated through the change would be used to fund prevention, treatment and education programs. Northjersey.com reports that New Jersey sportsbooks accepted more than $58 billion since the state legalized sports betting in the middle of 2018, shortly after a case in federal court legalized the pastime federally.
