Gambling industry reacts to Senate hearing scrutiny

The Senate Judiciary Committee held a federal hearing on sports betting that raised a number of topics and generated industry commentary. Topics like advertising, athlete harassment, problem gambling, the SAFE Bet Act, and restricting bettors were all brought up to varying degrees of interest and response, even as a contentious debate about transgender athletes threatened to overshadow the issue at hand. The industry had a lot to say about the session before, during, and after the hearing.
