Masschusetts State Lottery Commission to create an online gambling pilot programme

[vixen777]

Massachusetts State Senator Mike Rush, filed legislation which would allow the Masschusetts State Lottery Commission to create an online gambling pilot programme, according to local newspaper the West Roxbury Patch. Rush’s chief of staff John Regan said the move would provide the state lottery with new revenue streams that would boost local aid. A hearing on the proposed legislation was held on Tuesday in front of the Joint Committee on Consumer Protection and Professional Licensure. State Treasurer Steve Grossman has however said he believes the sale of lottery tickets online alongside games of chance, which would involve the payment or collection of funds for online gaming through US banks by credit card, would violate the federal Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act.
