Sportsbooks skip MA regulatory discussion over limiting bettors

Operators surprised disappointed and, in their own words, even angered the five commissioners of the Massachusetts Gaming Commission (MGC) when they bowed out of a scheduled public roundtable on the topic of limiting bettors.

Bally’s lone operator to appear on MGC roundtable

Bally’s was the only operator to take part in the debate, sending Director of Compliance Justin Black as a representative. He was unable to comment on the practices of the company’s platform provider, Kambi, when it came to pricing, but did assure the commissioners that any regulation limiting the pricing options of operators would result in a more negative overall experience for all of the operator’s customers when Bally Bet does launch in the state later this year.

The other panelists who did attend included industry consultants Dustin Gouker and Brianne Doura-Schawol as well as professional bettor Captain Jack Andrews (pseudonym) and the MGC’s own Director of Research and Responsible Gambling Mark Vander Lind..
