While not taking quite the drastic steps of New York, Massachusetts has introduced new state guidelines that would enforce more stringent rules on daily fantasy sports.
A bill proposed by Massachusetts Attorney General Maura Healey would ban players under 21 from playing DFS games, halt games involving college sports and ensure more "truthful advertising" from the companies. The ruling would also prohibit professional athletes from playing DFS in their own sports and place a monthly limit on how much a user can deposit.
“These regulations are a first of their kind for the Daily Fantasy Sports industry, and they focus on protecting minors, ensuring truthful advertising, bringing more transparency to the industry, and leveling the playing field for all consumers,” Healey said in a statement.
