New York Assemblyman Alex Bores has filed bill A9125 which looks to prevent sportsbooks from limiting the amount a player deposits or wagers on a particular bet, as well as the frequency in which they choose to deposit funds into their account.
The Assembly bill has been officially referred to the New York Committee on Racing and Wagering, but the next legislative session will not begin until January 2026 as the final meeting for 2025 concluded on June 17.
Exemptions to A9125 would be made in the event any such betting activity is deemed suspicious by the sportsbook, or suggests the bettor may be facing a gambling disorder as defined by state law.
Bill A9125 would also prohibit sports betting operators from suspending a player’s account based on the rate in which their bets are successful and force sportsbooks to provide reasoning as to why the account was suspended within 24 hours.
