New York Gov. Kathy Hochul wants stronger measures, including the use of biometric tools and restrictions on AI, to protect New Yorkers, particularly youth, from “predatory and addictive technologies” in the nation’s largest online sports betting market.

In her upcoming State of the State agenda, Hochul will direct the New York State Gaming Commission to explore methods, including facial recognition and thumbprint scanners, to prevent anyone under 21 from creating sportsbook accounts or using the accounts of others.

The gambling commission has seen an uptick in underage people gaining access to sports betting accounts, often through parents, relatives or friends. Anyone caught giving betting access to an underage person can be banned from the sportsbook platform, according to a gambling commission source.

Hochul also wants to restrict sports betting platforms’ use of AI to send personalized promotions to gamblers and wager offers that “keep individuals gambling beyond their intended limit.”

“From day one, one of my highest priorities has been keeping kids and our most vulnerable safe in a rapidly changing digital world, and that includes risks posed by online gambling,” Hochul told ESPN in a statement. “By engaging tools like biometric age verification, establishing stronger prevention and treatment and applying the same vigilance to online betting that we have brought to social media and AI we will build on our progress to protect New Yorkers from predatory and addictive technologies.”

Hochul also wants to increase services for people who develop gambling disorders by advancing legislation to ensure treatment is covered by insurance and establishing a Gambling Health Institute. She also recommends a 10-year statewide study to assess gambling health trends and evaluate prevention outcomes.

Hochul will announce the initiatives Tuesday during her address to the state legislature. The proposed policies are centered on licensed online sports betting operators in New York. The state has issued cease-and-desist orders to prediction market companies that offer trading on sports outcomes.

The Sports Betting Alliance (SBA), a trade group representing some of the major sports betting operators in the U.S., said it is eager to work with New York regulators and lawmakers on “advanced age and identity technologies.”
