Prohibits licensees from relying on artificial intelligence for tracking and advertisement purposes and using such artificial intelligence to create personalized advertisements.

In one paragraph

New York's A 8916 would add a paragraph (k) to Racing, Pari-Mutuel Wagering and Breeding Law § 1367-a(4) providing that mobile sports wagering licensees "shall be prohibited from using artificial intelligence to track a bettor's gambling habits and creating individualized promotions with artificial intelligence based on such bettor's gambling habits." The bill defines no terms and states no penalties. Would take effect immediately. Introduced July 16, 2025 and referred to the Racing and Wagering Committee (again January 7, 2026); it has not passed either chamber.
