Pennsylvania state senators have progressed in their endeavor to prohibit the use of credit cards for gambling.
The main objective of the recent legislation is to address issues related to problem gambling in Pennsylvania following the establishment of the state's online gaming and betting sector.
However, credit card restrictions for online gaming extend beyond North America. The UK enforced a similar ban in 2019, while Sweden is contemplating new laws to work around its existing ban. Additionally, Australia is exploring the possibility of implementing a comparable ban as part of broader federal gambling law reforms.
