regulate online betting, gambling, prediction markets and how it’s advertised

To: Sen. Merkley, Rep. Dexter, Sen. Wyden

From: A verified voter in Portland, OR

April 28

we need to regulate online gambling and prediction markets now. Americans are going bankrupt and are becoming addicted to online gambling on their phones. Advertising for these products do not disclose that gambling is not for investment and that it is risky. That goes for sports betting, gambling, online poker, slots games and prediction markets, none of which are investments and risk is inherent and these games are based on chance and should be regulated just like we regulate in person slots, cards, and other casino type games.
