Our Advocacy
The primary goal of American Bettors’ Voice is to give sports bettors in the US a seat at the table. While legislators, operators, regulators, and lobbyists have been marching along in state after state, introducing their version of sports betting, this has been done with little transparency and no consideration for creating a sustainable model. Presenting the sports bettor with a take-it-or-leave-it model without understanding what the consumer wants is a fool’s errand and will work against many of the stated goals of why betting was legalized.
American Bettors’ Voice seeks to contribute its insight and understanding to improving the US betting ecosystem and will provide position papers on the following topics and more:
- Bet limiting and the “ban or bankrupt model.”
- Developing meaningful and intelligible Terms and Conditions.
- Working to harmonize Terms & Conditions within and among jurisdictions.
- The asymmetry of and resolution of palpable errors.
- The timely resolution of disputes.
- Reducing withdrawal friction.
- Protections for the vulnerable and control against player exploitation.
- Disclosure through the regulatory agency of political contributions and spending on lobbying.
