Massachusetts regulators will put sports betting limits on center stage by early October.

During a meeting Thursday, the Massachusetts Gaming Commission decided they will hold another forum on MA sports betting limits by the first week of October. The commissioners decided it will be a standalone special meeting to stay focused on the issue.

Interim Chair Jordan Maynard said he expects every operator to take part.

“I expect every operator will engage in this conversation with us. Not hope – expect,” Maynard said.

The MGC began exploring the issue of wager limits in March. A first roundtable was held in May, but no active MA sports betting operators participated.

On Thursday, commissioners said they want a standalone meeting on a date by the first week of October. The MGC will split the meeting into two conversations.
