The letter to Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) reinforces AGA’s priorities for successful legal sports betting markets and commitment to work with Sen. Schumer and all stakeholders working to 'stamp out the vast illegal market.'
Today, the American Gaming Association sent a letter (found below) to Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) reinforcing AGA’s priorities for successful legal sports betting markets and commitment to work with Sen. Schumer and all stakeholders working to stamp out the vast illegal market.
“AGA has long been a leading advocate for eliminating the vast illegal sports betting market in the U.S., which was largely enabled by the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act (PASPA),” the letter stated. “We believe this can best be achieved through law enforcement oversight and robust state regulation. AGA firmly believes that additional federal engagement is not warranted at this time.”
