Senators advance bipartisan bill restricting targeted sports betting ads toward minors

Katie Britt and Richard Blumenthal rolled out bipartisan legislation Monday (May 18) aimed at stopping online platforms from directing sports betting advertisements toward minors. The proposal, called the Gaming Advertisement to Minors Enforcement Act , or GAME Act, would apply to social media companies and digital advertising networks that promote sportsbooks and prediction markets. Congress has been completely feckless when it comes to protecting our children online.
