Statutory Text
Analysis & Obligations
Anti-Click Gambling Data Analytics Collection Act § 1
Short title

This Act may be cited as the Anti-Click Gambling Data Analytics Collection Act.

Section 1 establishes the short title of the Act as the Anti-Click Gambling Data Analytics Collection Act. It creates no compliance obligation.

Anti-Click Gambling Data Analytics Collection Act § 5
Definitions

As used in this Act, "remote gamblingRemote gambling"remote gambling" means gambling in which persons participate by the use of remote communication, such as the Internet, telephone, television, radio, or any other kind of electronic or other technology for facilitating communication.Anti-Click Gambling Data Analytics Collection Act § 5" means gambling in which persons participate by the use of remote communication, such as the Internet, telephone, television, radio, or any other kind of electronic or other technology for facilitating communication.

Section 5 defines a single term, remote gambling, that scopes Section 10's operative prohibition. Notably, the bill does not define the regulated entity ("entity that operates a remote gambling platform") or the predictive analytics it targets, so the operative scope of Section 10 must be read against this single technology-medium definition.

1 An entity that operates a remote gamblingRemote gambling"remote gambling" means gambling in which persons participate by the use of remote communication, such as the Internet, telephone, television, radio, or any other kind of electronic or other technology for facilitating communication.Anti-Click Gambling Data Analytics Collection Act § 5 platform or a subsidiary of the entity shall not collect data from a participant with the intent to predict how the participant will gamble in a particular gambling or betting scenario.

Section 10 is the bill's sole substantive obligation. It prohibits any entity operating a remote gambling platform — or a subsidiary of such an entity — from collecting data from a participant with the intent to predict how that participant will gamble in a particular gambling or betting scenario.

The prohibition is framed by intent ("with the intent to predict") rather than by the use of any specific technology, but it directly captures the predictive analytics, personalization models, and engagement-optimization tooling commonly used by remote gambling platforms — features that are typically implemented with machine learning. There is no enforcement mechanism, penalty schedule, rulemaking grant, or carve-out, which is unusual for a substantive prohibition of this scope and likely contributed to the bill's stalling.
