The strict guidelines observed in Ohio and Massachusetts, states renowned for their severe restrictions on marketing and advertising, are in line with these new regulations.<\/p>\n<h2>New Guidelines for Advertising and Wagering<\/h2>\n<p>The IGB\u2019s updated regulations now cover both physical and digital gaming environments. The new guidelines address digital sports betting and its advertising, marking a significant shift from the previous lack of specific rules for casino and video gaming.<\/p>\n<p>IGB CEO Marcus Fruchter explained that the new measures are intended to <em>\u201cinclude additional safeguards and standards and second, to make the amended rules applicable to casino gaming and video gaming\u201d<\/em> as well. He noted that the board had reviewed regulations from \u201ccomparable jurisdictions\u201d during the drafting process.<\/p>\n<p>Among the major changes, the use of the word \u201cfree\u201d in advertising is now prohibited. Operators are banned from claiming that wagering is \u201cfree of risk\u201d and cannot use terms like \u201cfree,\u201d \u201ccost-free,\u201d or \u201cfree of risk\u201d in their promotions. Furthermore, advertising cannot be displayed where attendees are predominantly under 21, and sports betting ads are barred from college campuses and media. Additionally, no gambling-related logos or messages can be used on items appealing to those under 21.<\/p>\n<p>The updated rules also impact casino advertising. The new guidelines require casinos to keep records of all marketing materials and a log of their distribution. Operators must avoid using celebrities or entertainers in their advertising, a restriction already in place for wagering advertisements.<\/p>\n<div class=\"main-org-3-item-ins box-100 relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-items box-100 relative\">\n<div class=\"box-100 space-org-3-item relative border-tb mt-1 \">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-ins box-100 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo box-25 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo-ins box-100 text-center relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-logo-title-box box-100 text-left relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo-box box-25 relative img-radius\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/site\/kats-casino\/\" title=\"Visit Site\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><br \/>\n\t\t<amp-img alt=\"Kats Casino\" src=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/kats-casino-1.jpg.webp\" width=\"50\" height=\"50\" layout=\"fixed\"><br \/>\n\t\t<\/amp-img><br \/>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo-title box-25 relative py-10\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/site\/kats-casino\/\" title=\"Kats Casino\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Kats Casino<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-terms box-25 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-terms-ins box-100 text-center relative\">\n\t\t<strong><strong>250% Extra + $125 Free Chip!<\/strong><\/strong><br \/>\n\t\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"pt-1\">New players only. 250% on 1st Deposit + $125 Free Chip<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-rating box-25 relative mb-10\">\n<div class=\"rating-box text-center box-100  relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-rating-box relative\">\n<div class=\"stars\"><span class=\"star on\"><\/span><span class=\"star on\"><\/span><span class=\"star on\"><\/span><span class=\"star on\"><\/span><span class=\"star on\"><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"space-org-rating-notice relative\">Casino<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>\t\n\t\t\t\t <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-button box-25 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-button-ins box-100 text-center relative\">\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/site\/kats-casino\/\" title=\"Visit Site\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">\tVisit Site<\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>In conjunction with these changes, the IGB renewed the gaming license for Rivers Casino and the master sports wagering license for Hawthorne Race Course.
