AG Campbell, the Massachusetts Gaming Commission (MGC), and the Massachusetts State Lottery Commission (MSLC) today issued a Consumer Advisory to warn the public about the risks associated with illegal gaming operators and help consumers identify lawful gaming options in the Commonwealth, ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup matches in the state.  

“Massachusetts residents and the public should know that illegal gaming platforms can expose them to serious risks, including fraud, identity theft, financial exploitation, and unpaid winnings. As excitement builds ahead of the World Cup, we want the public to have the information they need to identify legal gaming options if they choose to play, protect their personal information, and avoid bad actors looking to capitalize on this major event.” -AG Campbell
