On March 2026, the Massachusetts Gaming Commission issued a notice of public hearing to gather comments on proposed regulatory amendments under Massachusetts General Law Chapter 23K. The Commission is amending two regulations concerning responsible gaming provisions. The first amendment modifies 205 CMR 133.02 (Placement on the Self-Exclusion List) to replace references to "GameSense" advisors with "player health" advisors as designated agents authorised to administer the Commission's responsible gaming programme. The second amendment updates 205 CMR 147.03 (Notice and Patron Access) to remove reference to the "Game Sense" area within casinos and replace it with reference to a "player health resource and information center." These changes reflect the Commission's evolving approach to player protection and responsible gaming terminology. The public hearing will be conducted remotely via conference call on Tuesday, April 21, 2026, at 9:30 AM Eastern Standard Time. The conference call number is 1-646-741-5292 with participant code 111 714 1207. Interested parties may submit written comments via email to Jenna.Hentoff@massgaming.gov with "Regulation Comment" in the subject line. Alternatively, individuals wishing to speak during the hearing should email the same address to request the virtual hearing link. Written comments must be received by 5:00 PM EST on April 20, 2026. Draft regulations are available on the Commission's website at www.massgaming.com under the 'Regulations and Compliance' section.
