New York lawmaker pushes monthly win/loss alerts for sports bettors

• Assembly Bill A10329, introduced on February 20, 2026, would compel mobile sports wagering operators in New York to deliver monthly account activity statements to bettors via push notification.
• The bill specifies that notifications must include total deposits, amounts wagered, winnings and losses, and net gain or loss for the reporting period.
• The legislation has been referred to the Assembly Committee on Racing and Wagering and, if passed, would take effect January 1 of the following year.

A New York lawmaker has introduced legislation that would require mobile sportsbooks to send bettors a monthly financial summary of their wagering activity directly to their smartphones.

Introduced on February 20, 2026, by Assemblymember Kassay, Assembly Bill A10329 amends the state’s racing, pari-mutuel wagering and breeding law to mandate that operators share standardized monthly invoice statements with all active users.

What the bill requires

Under the bill’s language, monthly statements must be delivered electronically through a push notification and made continuously accessible through the bettor’s account.

At a minimum, each statement must include the total amount of funds deposited during the reporting period, the total amount wagered, the total amount of winnings and losses, and the net gain or loss incurred by the authorized sports bettor.

The bill also specifies that statements must be presented in language that is readily understandable to bettors. This is an important provision designed to prevent operators from obscuring financial data in technical or legalistic terms.

If enacted, the legislation would take effect on January 1 of the year following its signing into law. The bill has been referred to the Assembly Committee on Racing and Wagering and carries a partisan designation as a Democratic-sponsored measure.

A regulated market under scrutiny

The proposal arrives as New York cements its position as the largest sports betting market in the United States. The state’s eight mobile sportsbooks generated a record $26.3 billion in total handle during 2025, with gross revenue reaching $2.55 billion — up 25% from 2024.

FanDuel and DraftKings together accounted for 76% of all operator revenue. The market generated more than $1.32 billion in tax revenue for the state over the same period.

That commercial scale has brought intensified legislative attention. Bill A10329 is not the only responsible gambling measure circulating in Albany.

A separate bill, Assembly Bill A4279A, seeks to prohibit sportsbook operators from sending push notifications that solicit wagers or deposits. The bill describes such alerts as “more invasive than traditional advertising” that can “exploit moments of vulnerability or weakness.”

The two bills take notably different approaches to the same channel. One would restrict operators from using push notifications to drive engagement. The other would use that same channel to deliver financial accountability data.

Together, they reflect a broader legislative effort to reshape how New York’s mobile wagering apps communicate with their users.

Growing transparency demands

Sportsbook operators typically deploy push alerts to drive in-app engagement, promoting odds boosts, deposit bonuses, and live betting markets. Requiring that same direct communication pathway to deliver monthly loss summaries represents a deliberate inversion of its commercial function.

The bill’s transparent intent is to close the psychological distance between placing a digital wager and confronting its cumulative financial cost.

By framing the monthly statement as an “invoice,” legislators signal they want bettors to engage with their wagering activity the same way they would a credit card or utility bill.

Operators are likely to resist the specific delivery mechanism. Platform communications are typically engineered to maximize positive engagement. A mandated monthly notification surfacing net losses introduces friction that runs counter to standard product design in the sector.

New York’s regulatory environment is already among the most demanding in the country. The state’s 51% tax rate on gross gaming revenue is the highest in the US, and the New York State Gaming Commission controls the wagering menu and limits the sports and leagues accepted for sports wagering.

Responsible gambling legislation accelerates

New York’s legislative calendar in 2026 has already seen multiple responsible gambling proposals advance alongside commercial expansion.

In December 2025, Assemblymember Linda Rosenthal refiled AB9343 seeking to prohibit in-play (live) wagering, citing concern over high-engagement betting formats. The bill was referred to the Racing and Wagering Committee.

The question is no longer whether sports betting can deliver public revenue in New York, but how much regulatory constraint the system can absorb without altering that outcome.
