Pennsylvania at a Crossroads: Reduce Dependence or Preserve iGaming Revenue


Situation and Challenges

Pennsylvania Commission Report reveals that 1 in 4 state residents risks developing a gambling addiction.

Regulatory Proposals

The Commission proposes a ban on using credit cards for gambling, as well as introducing self‑limits for players and advertising restrictions.

Implications and Context

According to studies, gambling addiction leads to credit problems, domestic violence, and even suicide, and measures similar to those already implemented in Europe can reduce harm but will affect iGaming revenues.
