Pennsylvania Lawmakers Target VIP Betting and Microbets

Pennsylvania lawmakers have introduced legislation that would prohibit microbets and certain gambling VIP programs while imposing stricter financial and time limits on online betting, as the state establishes a bipartisan caucus focused on problem gambling. State Reps. Tarik Khan, a Democrat from Philadelphia, and Jamie Flick, a Republican representing Lycoming and Union counties, introduced House Bill 2879 on October 21. The proposal was referred to the House Gaming Oversight Committee.
