“NCL Flags 93% of Sportsbook Push Alerts as Gambling Ads—Calls for Federal Ban”
A new report from the National Consumers League reveals that 93% of push notifications from major sportsbook apps—FanDuel, DraftKings, BetMGM—contain advertising content. 62% include direct “bet now” calls to action, while at least 50% offer promotions, odds boosts, or bonus bets. The NCL links these aggressive alerts to spikes in gambling harm—domestic violence, bankruptcy, and increased suicide risk—and recommends bans under legislation like the SAFE Bet Act and New Jersey’s Assembly Bill A5207. Regulators at the FTC and state level are urged to investigate these invasive tactics. ConsumerAffairs+5National Consumers League+5Covers.com+5
