Breaking the Deadlock

Are Gambling Apps Too Powerful? Inside the Crackdown

Season 2026 | 2m 27s

This clip imagines a scenario that mirrors real debates around the Safer Bet Act, showing efforts to curb live wagers and stop gambling apps from using algorithms to track or target players. The debate heats up fast: these rules add real protection, but critics argue they’re unrealistic and limit innovation. Experts weigh guardrails, enforcement, and how self exclusion could work.
