Massachusetts regulators haven’t been lacking for work lately. The Massachusetts Gaming Commission — fresh off a meeting that explored sports bettor limiting — met again on Thursday to deal with several other matters that required the regulator’s attention.
One of those had to do with an email blast DraftKings sent out on Aug. 13 about golf wagers many people didn’t make.
The message informed recipients that the mostly non-existent action was settled using “Dead Heat Reduction” rules and informing patrons they were getting a bonus bet.
In Massachusetts, DraftKings sent the email to more than 1.2 million residents or registered users when it was really supposed to go to only 13, according to a memo to the commissioners.
