Mobile wagering, which is expected to quickly take over as the dominant form of betting, is set to go live here at 10 a.m. Friday and will make gambling easily accessible in every corner of Massachusetts (and up to three miles offshore).
One day before mobile sports betting is set to launch, Massachusetts Attorney General Andrea Campbell's office will sit down with the Gaming Commission to go over concerns it has with ways in which operators are advertising their sportsbooks and the possibility that young people in Massachusetts could be especially impacted.
The scrutiny from the state's top law enforcement office stands in contrast to a presentation at Wednesday's Public Health Council by the Office of Problem Gambling Services where sports betting was barely mentioned.Mobile wagering, which is expected to quickly take over as the dominant form of betting, is set to go live here at 10 a.m. Friday and will make gambling easily accessible in every corner of Massachusetts .
Among their concerns is the"misleading nature" of some of the ads that have been rolled out so far in the lead up to mobile betting. The issue in this case is how"in such a segment, the sports wagering operator is paying a spokesperson to promote a bet that, as a business matter, the operator believes the customer will lose," according to the letter.
