The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 5269, seeks to amend section 12-863 of the general statutes to enhance regulations surrounding online gaming. The bill introduces two key provisions: it prohibits the funding of online gaming accounts through revolving credit cards or any financial sources not exclusively owned by the account user. Additionally, it bans any promotions or advertisements that provide financial incentives or enticements for participation in specific gaming activities.

The intent of this legislation is to promote responsible gaming practices by ensuring that individuals can only fund their online gaming accounts with their own financial resources, thereby reducing the risk of excessive gambling. Furthermore, by eliminating financial incentives in advertisements, the bill aims to discourage potentially harmful gambling behaviors and protect consumers from predatory marketing practices.
