Online casinos might have to adjust player data handling under Congressional bill

Companies involved in the regulated US online casino industry are used to navigating a patchwork of various rules across disparate states. However, a national standard could be forthcoming in at least one facet of their business.

The American Privacy Rights Act, a proposed bill in the US Congress, would establish a uniform policy across the country when it comes to online privacy, data rights and businesses’ use of customer information. While it’s too early to get into the minutia of exactly how online casinos and their vendors might have to adjust their practices, it seems obvious that the new standards would apply to at least the operators of those online gambling platforms.
