inoFree speech and sports betting are colliding in Massachusetts. At issue is Barstool Sports and its “Can’t Lose Parlay” promotion, which Penn Entertainment claims falls under the same category as Buffalo chicken wings.
Barstool was called in front of the Massachusetts Gaming Commission (MGC) on Wednesday to explain its “Can’t Lose Parlay” promo available during March Madness. Penn rejected the allegation that the promo implied a risk-free offer and laid out its case, although the debate is far from over.
In the promo, which Barstool began using in other states in 2019, longtime sports media personality and Barstool podcast host Dan Katz loads up a parlay bet. The ad was designed to show the ease with which bettors can create multi-leg parlays and carried the “Can’t Lose Parlay” language.
