Get your popcorn ready.
The Massachusetts Gaming Commission (MGC) has set Sept. 11 as the date for its next meeting dedicated to the limiting of sports bettors.
Next Wednesday’s get-together will be another attempt by the regulator to hear publicly from sportsbook operators and bettors about wagering restrictions for players, a contentious subject that will ensure the meeting is closely followed.
A roundtable on limiting in May attracted several participants, but none represented active sportsbook operators in Massachusetts. Those companies cited concerns about openly discussing their risk-management practices as a reason for skipping the meeting, claiming those tactics can be confidential and proprietary.
