Nevada Rep. seeks to remove federal sports betting tax, change slot machine reporting

Nevada Rep. Dina Titus is behind two pieces of gambling legislation in the world of legal sports betting and casino gaming.

Titus (D-District 1) last month reintroduced The Discriminatory Gaming Tax Repeal Act, which would remove the federal 0.25 percent tax on all sports bets placed in the U.S. She also last week reintroduced the Shifting Limits on Thresholds (SLOT) Act to update the reporting threshold on slot machine winnings, which hasn’t changed in nearly 50 years.

Connecticut proposes gambling limits; N.J. poll shows support for sportsbook ad regulation

Connecticut lawmakers want to implement a ceiling on the amount of money that legal sportsbooks can accept from customers.

The House General Law Committee introduced bill SB 1464, which would set a maximum wager amount for all sports bettors and allow Connecticut to join the Multi-State Internet Gaming agreement, which would open the doors to interstate poker games.
