Supporters say iGaming is a simple policy choice. It may not be legal.
The bill likely conflicts with the federal Johnson Act — exposing DC to potential litigation and congressional scrutiny. That's a bad bet. Read more → https://t.co/vSfgemSWJr

Michigan legalized iGaming in 2019. This spring, regulators issued cease-and-desist orders to 45 illegal offshore operators. Legalization didn’t eliminate the black market. It created a parallel one. Read more → https://t.co/vSfgemSWJr #stopDCiGaming #FollowTheFactsDC

The illegal online gambling market has GROWN 22% since 2022 — even as legal iGaming expanded in multiple states. The “legalize it & the black market disappears” argument is collapsing under its own facts. Read more → https://t.co/vSfgemSWJr #stopDCiGaming #FollowTheFactsDC

In PA, more than HALF of all 1-800-GAMBLER calls now relate to online gambling. Yet DC is being told this is simply “modern entertainment.” Before expanding online casinos, policymakers should probably #FollowTheFactsDC. Read more → https://t.co/vSfgemSWJr #stopDCiGaming

.@CMFrumin called this iGaming bill the “gold standard” for safeguards and regulation. The facts tell a different story.
The same online operators backing this legislation failed to keep minors off their platforms:
• 620 underage gambling reports filed against DraftKings in Ohio since 2023
• $2.78 million in suspected underage wagers tied to those incidents
• Tennessee has seen nearly 4x year-over-year growth in underage online betting incidents
If these companies cannot stop minors from gambling NOW, why should D.C. trust them with online casinos in every pocket?

Councilmember Frumin claimed more than 50% of illegal bettors switch to legal platforms once iGaming is legalized. The data says otherwise. According to the American Gaming Association, illegal operators STILL capture 66% of total U.S. iGaming revenue — including in states where online casinos are already legal. That’s not “eliminating” the illegal market. That’s the illegal market thriving alongside legalization.
D.C. Council should stop repeating industry talking points and start following the facts.

Online gamblers are reportedly 8x more likely to develop compulsive gambling behaviors than in-person gamblers. Why? Because there’s no halftime for blackjack. No offseason for slots. No pause button.

Tennessee reported 105 underage betting incidents in 2024. In 2025? More than 400 already. That’s nearly a 4x increase in a single year. The industry says safeguards work. The data says otherwise.

DraftKings alone received 620 reports of suspected underage gambling in Ohio since 2023 — totaling $2.78M in wagers. And these are the companies asking DC for MORE online gambling expansion.

DC could average just $18M/year in iGaming tax revenue during the first 4 years. NJ’s estimated annual iGaming social costs? $350M! Policymakers, ask yourselves: Does the math actually math? Read more → https://t.co/vSfgemSWJr #stopDCiGaming #FollowTheFactsDC

The pitch: Legalize iGaming & the illegal market disappears. Reality: Illegal operators STILL capture 66% of US online casino revenue — even where iGaming is legal. That's not replacement, it’s expansion. Read more → https://t.co/vSfgemSWJr #stopDCiGaming #FollowTheFactsDC

42 states still say NO to iGaming - including Virginia & Maryland, both of which rejected legalization THIS YEAR. If DC legalizes online casinos, it won’t be “leading.” It’ll be ignoring the national trend.

Behind every screen is a person, a family, and a story. The rise of #iGambling isn’t just a digital trend, it’s a shift that can lead to real-world isolation and financial pressure right in our own backyards.

At NAAiG, we’re championing a different path. We believe in the power of in-person gaming where safeguards are visible, social connections are real, and community well-being comes first.

Let’s keep the "social" in social gaming. 🤝

Federal judges push Kalshi lawyers on what would stop them from offering event contracts on the outcome of a roulette wheel; Kalshi says the CFTC likely wouldn't allow it, without giving an explanation why

We are drawing a line against the expansion of 24/7 #iGambling. Why? Because we value the vibrant, community-centered environments that protect local jobs and foster real human connection over the risks of digital isolation.
