Massachusetts regulators finally got what they were looking for months ago: An extended and perhaps inspirational conversation about the limiting of sports bettors that could someday have consequences for the industry.
The Massachusetts Gaming Commission (MGC) hosted another meeting on Wednesday to discuss “wager limitations” with sportsbook operators, player advocates, responsible gaming experts, and promoters of “alternative” wagering models.
It was the type of talk the MGC had sought back in May, when the Bay State’s active sportsbook operators declined to participate in a roundtable, citing the confidential and proprietary nature of their risk-management practices.
But the MGC did not let the limiting issue go, and Wednesday’s meeting was perhaps the deepest dive any regulator has taken in public on the wagering restrictions that bettors can face.
