The Massachusetts Gaming Commission (MGC) held a long-awaited public roundtable Tuesday to seek more transparency from sportsbooks on how, when and why they set betting limits on some patrons.
“I’ve been made aware that 10 active operators in the commonwealth, after initially signaling that they would attend and actively participate in this public roundtable, decided not to,” said Jordan Maynard, the interim chair of the MGC.
Maynard said the sportsbooks instead requested a private executive session in place of a public roundtable “as they felt that some information would be too sensitive to reveal in public.” The MGC, though, is required by Massachusetts law to hold their meetings in an open forum, except in some special circumstances.
