Massachussets attorney general launches youth sports betting safety coalition

In light of this week's college basketball tournaments happening on both coasts of Massachusetts, the Attorney General has announced the formation of a public-private partnership aimed at raising awareness of the dangers associated with underage gambling and sports betting.

The Youth Sports Betting Safety Coalition will create an evidence-based education, training, and health curriculum targeted at individuals between the ages of 12 and 20 – roughly from middle school into college and up to the state's minimum sports betting and casino gambling age of 21 – in an effort to increase public awareness of the laws, risks, and health harms associated with gambling.
