As Sports Betting Explodes, States Try To Set Limits To Stop Gambling Addiction
Walk into a Massachusetts casino and you’ll find something unusual: state workers in green polos handing out tissues and luggage tags, trying to warn gamblers about addiction. It’s an awkward setup—preaching moderation on the casino floor itself—but it reflects America’s fractured approach to gambling regulation. Since the Supreme Court opened the floodgates to sports betting in 2018, each state has created its own rules, or barely any at all. Now, as addiction experts watch the industry explode with AI-powered microbetting, they’re asking: Is it already too late to rein this in?
