The Massachusetts Gaming Commission (MGC) had planned to meet on Wednesday for an agenda-setting session, where it was expected to set an official date for a second discussion on sports betting limits. However, on Tuesday, the MGC announced the cancellation of the meeting.
The date for the highly anticipated second discussion on sports betting limits remains undecided. However, it could be established during the MGC’s public meeting on August 15 or the agenda-setting meeting on August 21. In May, the MGC hosted a roundtable discussion on sports betting limits, but the absence of most well-known sports betting operators angered commissioners.
Bally Bet was the sole operator to attend the initial meeting.
Other prominent betting apps, such as DraftKings and FanDuel, have indicated their intention to participate in the second discussion. Despite this, some commissioners remain skeptical about whether these operators will share sufficient information publicly to ensure a productive conversation.
The commissioners also plan to include the perspectives of bettors in the discussion, similar to the first meeting. Some prominent bettors have expressed frustration with major betting apps for limiting their wagers with minimal to no explanation regarding the reasons behind these limits.
The MGC hopes that this discussion will enhance transparency around the practice of limiting sports bettors. In a recent meeting, the commission also suggested the possibility of implementing regulations related to this practice.
By addressing these issues, the MGC aims to foster a more open and fair sports betting environment in Massachusetts.
