Earlier this year, Massachusetts introduced sports betting. In a three-part series for New England Public Media, Karen Brown looks at how the state’s gambling regulators and health officials are spending that money.
Part 1 overviews the PlayWell program and Voluntary Self-Exclusion and features PlayWell Manager Amy Gabrila and MACGH CEO Marlene Warner.
“There’s the ability to just place wagers that much faster…”, our CEO Marlene Warner notes in this latest Boston Globe article on Massachusetts iLottery. The piece also highlights player protection tools, including voluntary self-exclusion for those who want to block access to the MA iLottery app.
