West Virginia introduces new problem gambling data sharing bill
Lawmakers in West Virginia have introduced a responsible gambling bill. Proposed by Rep. Roger Hanshaw and Shawn Fluharty, the bill would require operators to share data with academics for research purposes.
House Bill 5668 was introduced earlier in February and would establish a Responsible Gaming and Research Act (RGRA). The RGRA would require gambling operators to share information with responsible gaming experts.
The new responsible gambling bill would apply to all state retail and online gambling operators, who would need to provide West Virginia University (WVU) with data monthly, quarterly, or annually. All player data would be anonymous.
