State Rep. Jason Ortitay (R-Allegheny\/Washington) introduced <a href=\"https:\/\/www.palegis.us\/legislation\/bills\/2025\/hb2631\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">House Bill 2631<\/a>, which would require licensed online gambling operators to block access to their platforms from within Pennsylvania K-12 schools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The legislation would use technology already common in the regulated gaming industry to create digital restrictions around school properties. Already, it has gained support from several co-sponsors, which makes it something worth keeping an eye on for stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"bill-would-extend-existing-gaming-technology-in-schools\">Bill Would Extend Existing Gaming Technology in Schools<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The proposed legislation comes as Pennsylvania\u2019s online <a href=\"\/news\/pennsylvania-gaming-reaches-new-peak-despite-sports-betting-market-facing-pressure\/\">gambling market<\/a> continues to expand, with mobile access making casino games and sports wagering available almost anywhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ortitay argues that while Pennsylvania\u2019s regulated gaming system is designed for adults, the widespread use of smartphones has created new challenges. He said some minors have been able to access gambling platforms during school hours, including through the use of family members\u2019 accounts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Under House Bill 2631, licensed operators would be required to use geofencing technology to prevent their platforms from functioning inside school boundaries. The same type of location-based technology is already used by operators to ensure online gambling activity remains within Pennsylvania\u2019s borders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ortitay said the technology can be implemented, although operators would need time to develop and apply the additional restrictions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"a-much-needed-development\">A Much-Needed Development<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The legislation was introduced in memory of Ray Mikesell, a South Fayette Township resident whose gambling addiction began during his school years and later contributed to his death by suicide. Mikesell\u2019s father encouraged lawmakers to take action to prevent other families from experiencing similar situations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ortitay said the goal of the bill is to create another layer of protection for young people while strengthening responsible gaming efforts across Pennsylvania. The proposal also builds on previous consumer protection initiatives, including efforts to make problem gambling resources easier to access through the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1800gambler.net\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">1-800-GAMBLER<\/a> helpline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"focus-on-access-education-and-prevention\">Focus on Access, Education and Prevention<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While the bill focuses on blocking gambling access inside schools, some advocates say additional education will be necessary. Josh Ercole, executive director of the Council on Compulsive Gambling of Pennsylvania, described the proposal as a positive first step but said preventing access alone may not fully address youth gambling concerns. He argued that if lawmakers recognize minors are engaging in gambling activity, the state should also consider prevention programs and educational efforts to help students understand the risks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>House Bill 2631 is currently under review by the House Gaming Oversight Committee. If approved, the legislation would add another safeguard to Pennsylvania\u2019s expanding online gaming market while continuing the broader discussion around responsible gambling and youth protection.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Pennsylvania lawmakers are considering new measures to prevent students from accessing online casinos and sports betting platforms during the school day.
