Rep. Dina Titus Statement on Introduction of SAFE Bet Act
Washington, September 12, 2024 | Dick Cooper (202-734-0020)
"The SAFE Bet Act reinforces the outdated and unwarranted prejudice against gaming, a legal industry which provides good-paying jobs and tax dollars to communities across the United States," says Rep. Titus.
Congresswoman Dina Titus (D-NV1) released the following statement after introduction of the SAFE Bet Act:
"The SAFE Bet Act reinforces the outdated and unwarranted prejudice against gaming, a legal industry which provides good-paying jobs and tax dollars to communities across the United States. While the SAFE Bet Act is perhaps well-intentioned, pre-empting state gaming regulators by outlawing most forms of advertising and restricting the types and methods by which customers can place bets is a misguided approach.
"Offering customers a wide variety of choices, enhancing their gaming experience, and advertising legal operators are essential ways to compete with the illegal market which offers no consumer protection, state tax revenue, or responsible gaming resources."
