An Act relative to problem gambling
This bill expands self-exclusion options for problem gamblers across Massachusetts gambling platforms. It creates a unified system allowing individuals to voluntarily exclude themselves from lottery, casino, and fantasy sports services simultaneously through a single request. Operators must display standardized disclaimers in ads, block all marketing to excluded individuals using digital tracking, and deny benefits like cashing checks to those on the list. Unclaimed winnings from excluded individuals will be deposited into the Public Health Trust Fund. The bill directly affects problem gamblers seeking to restrict their access and all entities operating gambling services in the state.
