Massachusetts Gaming Commission announces new initiative to curb athlete harassment
The Massachusetts Gaming Commission announced the 'Bet on Respect' initiative to use Massachusetts law and Commission regulation (205 CMR 152) to exclude patrons who harass athletes from accessing sports wagering and casinos. The Commission established a portal for reporting suspected athlete harassment, will investigate allegations, and may impose involuntary exclusion while providing excluded individuals information about support programs.
