The Massachusetts Gaming Commission (MGC) has launched a new voluntary self-exclusion (VSE) scheme for sports betting ahead of the launch of the state’s legal wagering market.

Massachusetts is due to open its regulated sports betting market today (31 January), with the self-exclusion initiative allowing people to opt out of betting with licensed online and land-based operators in the state.
Consumers wishing to register for the scheme can do so via GameSense either over the phone, online or at land-based GameSense centers within Massachusetts.
