The rise of sports betting has brought about scandals, concerns about player safety, and an increase in gambling addiction. As the industry continues to grow, questions are being raised about the impact of legalized sports betting and the need for regulations to address these issues.
On today’s episode of On Point, we discuss whether it is time to reconsider how we approach sports betting, given the challenges that have emerged in the six years since its legalization. Our guests include Danny Funt, a reporter covering the sports betting boom, Richard Daynard, a law professor and president of the Public Health Advocacy Institute at Northeastern University, and Rep. Paul Tonko, who represents New York’s 20th congressional district and recently introduced the SAFE Bet Act to address these concerns.
