"a nationwide ban on targeted advertising of gambling to kids" and fines for violations.
Support legislation to ban targeted gambling advertising to children nationwide and impose fines for violations.
Occurrences
Evidence
Sen. Britt said the GAME Act would address youth gambling by prohibiting targeted online sports-betting advertising to minors. The release says the bill would create a nationwide ban, with FTC enforcement and civil penalties, and that repeat offenders could face DOJ financial penalties.
The bill text states it is unlawful for a covered digital advertising platform to display a targeted advertisement directed to a minor that promotes a sports gambling platform. It also provides FTC enforcement and treats violations as unfair or deceptive practices, with possible civil penalties.
Assessments
Britt introduced the bipartisan GAME Act in May 2026, and the bill text matches the promise by proposing a nationwide ban on targeted online sports-gambling advertising to minors with FTC enforcement and civil penalties. However, the evidence shows introduction of legislation only, not enactment or implementation of a national ban. Because she made a serious legislative attempt but the promised legal outcome has not passed, this is not delivered.
