 IN ASSEMBLY

 January 21, 2026
 ___________

 Introduced by M. of A. WOERNER -- read once and referred to the Commit-
 tee on Racing and Wagering

 AN ACT to amend the racing, pari-mutuel wagering and breeding law, in
 relation to establishing consumer-protection standards for high-value
 customer programs offered by mobile sports wagering operators

 The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
 bly, do enact as follows:

 1 Section 1. Section 1367-a of the racing, pari-mutuel wagering and
 2 breeding law is amended by adding a new subdivision 5-a to read as
 3 follows:
 4 5-a. (a) As used in this subdivision, "high-value customer program"
 5 means any "VIP", "elite", "preferred", "high-value", or similarly-desig-
 6 nated program that provides enhanced incentives, bonuses, rebates, dedi-
 7 cated account management, or other special benefits tied to wagering
 8 activity.
 9 (b) No mobile sports wagering operator, or any affiliate or agent
 10 thereof shall offer, enroll, or permit any person under twenty-five
 11 years of age to participate in any high-value customer program.
 12 (c)(i) Prior to enrolling any person in a high-value customer program,
 13 a mobile sports wagering operator shall conduct an affordability review
 14 to determine whether the person's wagering activity is affordable and
 15 sustainable, and does not pose a risk of gambling-related harm.
 16 (ii) Such review shall include, at a minimum: identity and age verifi-
 17 cation; know-your-customer due-diligence; verification of income or
 18 financial capacity sufficient to support wagering levels; review of
 19 wagering patterns for indicators of harm; whether such person has ever
 20 been on any state or private gambling self-exclusion list; and any other
 21 factor required by the gaming commission.
 22 (iii) A person who has been placed on any state or private gambling
 23 self-exclusion list shall not be eligible for any high-value customer
 24 program for at least two years after such person's self-exclusion period
 25 has expired.

 EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
 [ ] is old law to be omitted.

 1 (iv) Every mobile sports wagering operator shall maintain written
 2 records of such reviews and shall re-evaluate each enrolled person at
 3 least quarterly, or more frequently if indicators of harm appear.
 4 (v) A mobile sports wagering operator shall deny or suspend high-value
 5 customer status to any person who fails to provide information necessary
 6 to complete the review required pursuant to this subdivision or if such
 7 review indicates material risk of harm.
 8 (d) No mobile sports wagering operator shall offer or provide, to any
 9 person with high-value customer status, any incentive, reward, rebate,
 10 bonus, or promotion that:
 11 (i) is conditioned upon net losses, escalating losses, or wagering at
 12 levels inconsistent with the affordability review;
 13 (ii) encourages continuing to bet or increasing the size of a bet to
 14 recoup losses from previous bets, increased frequency of play, or wager-
 15 ing beyond preset limits;
 16 (iii) offers gifts, hospitality, or other benefits conditioned on
 17 reaching higher loss or spend thresholds; or
 18 (iv) is otherwise determined by the gaming commission to present an
 19 unreasonable risk of gambling-related harm.
