Massachusetts lawmakers are reviewing another online gambling bill, which could prohibit dual-currency sweepstakes games.
Massachusetts Representative David K. Muradian introduced bill H4431 before the committee on Economic Development and Emerging Technologies. This is the third igaming bill introduced this year.
Banning sweepstakes games in Massachusetts would make operating, conducting, or promoting prize-based contests of chance illegal.
Violations would carry fines of US$10,000 to US$100,000 and risk license revocation. Repeat offences could result in higher penalties and prison terms of up to two years.
