Massachusetts‘ gambling regulator has proposed a new regulation that would make the state the first in the U.S. to require sportsbooks to inform their users when and why their betting activity has been limited.

At a meeting on Thursday, Massachusetts Gaming Commission (MGC) Deputy General Counsel Justin Stempeck presented commissioners with two options for the language of a new rule aimed at changing how sports betting operators approaching limiting players. Commissioners voted 5-0 in favor of putting forth a proposal that, if ultimately approved and enacted, would require legal sports betting operators to notify players that their activity has been limited, and explain why.

The proposed change will be opened up for public comment and hear from operators, other stakeholders and the public on the proposal. After feedback is reviewed and potentially incorporated, a formal commission vote would be required to officially adopt it.
