Senator Pete Harckham introduced the legislation, known as Senate Bill 9605, in the New York State Senate.
The New York City Gaming Committee is required, according to the document, to "propound regulations and guidelines for predatory bookie bonuses in mobile sports betting, such as but not restricted to deposit, matching, risk-free wagering, free money, bonus schemes, site credits, and earnings boosts."
However, it did not specify what steps the government should take to stop them, for instance whether the so-called "rapacious" promotions should be outlawed or only subject to stricter regulations.
