The American Gaming Association has warned Senator Chuck Schumer that his new proposals for a federal sports betting framework in the US are “a non-starter” despite several top sports organizations having come out in support of the US Senate Minority Leader’s efforts.

Schumer became the latest member of Congress to submit suggestions for a federal sports betting framework, with states so far having adopted their own legislative approaches to sports betting after PASPA, the federal law banning sports betting, was overturned in May.

“With the Supreme Court’s ruling, it’s incumbent on the federal government to take a leadership role and provide the necessary guidance to prevent uncertainty and confusion for the leagues, state governments, consumers and fans alike,” Schumer said.

“The stakes are too high – legal sports betting laws must be crafted and executed in a careful and thoughtful way. As state legislatures develop new legislation in the weeks and months ahead, I hope they will take these principles under consideration.”
