Sportsbook operators in the Bay State could soon be forced to explain why it may be that winners aren’t welcome in their establishments — digital or otherwise — while losers are free to keep frittering away their cash.

The Massachusetts Gaming Commission (MGC) met Thursday and discussed “Sports Wagering Operator Wager Limitations,” the bane of winning sports bettors’ existence.

Those limitations are applied to certain sporting events to help with risk management and to protect the integrity of certain events, the MGC heard. However, commissioners were also told that limits can be set on a per-customer basis, meaning a patron trying to get down $1,000 for a bet may find they can only wager $100 instead, if that.
