Warren 'uneasy' over expansion of online gaming, commits to no funding for Yucca

Sen. Elizabeth Warren, a 2020 presidential hopeful, said she is “uneasy” about the expansion of online gaming.

Warren, who visited Reno for a campaign rally on Saturday, told The Nevada Independent that while she doesn’t believe there should be more federal regulation of gaming generally, online gaming “presents a whole new set of challenges” beyond traditional casino-based gaming. The Massachusetts senator said that similar to online payday lending, a practice she has been vocal about reining in, online gaming poses challenges difficult for states to address on their own.

“Online can completely undercut every protection that the state puts in place,” Warren said, “and that’s my concern.”

Warren wouldn’t say whether she would support a ban on online gaming, which the Department of Justice moved toward earlier this year when it issued an opinion expanding the scope of a law barring interstate gaming. Some industry experts have said the opinion ignores a long history of effective state regulation.
