Massachusetts sports fans can now legally bet on their favorite games in person and on licensed mobile apps. In early talks, we worked to eliminate credit card loopholes and protect minors and at-risk individuals from receiving promotional materials. Now, our focus is on player health. Thousands of new bettors are placing wagers. We want to ensure these audiences know the rules, the risks, and how to set limits. We’re also fighting for funds to research the cognitive and societal impacts of sports betting advertising.
Gambling should be safe and fun. We’re in regulatory discussions around fostering and enforcing limit setting tools and at-risk play warning systems. Operators and industry stakeholders have a responsibility to do right by consumers and direct resources to those struggling.

Gambling addiction can be hidden. Problematic video gaming happens behind closed doors. MACGH is a vocal champion in addressing these concerning surges. Advocacy funds target advertising, press, and public outreach to players, those struggling, and in individuals recovery.
