馬薩諸塞州遊戲委員會批准超級碗LVII的硬幣翻轉賭注

馬薩諸塞州遊戲委員會以3-2投票，允許有執照的體育博彩經營者在超級碗硬幣翻轉上接受幾個博彩市場。

The Massachusetts Gaming Commission voted 3-2 Thursday to allow licensed sports betting operators to accept several betting markets on the Super Bowl coin flip.

馬薩諸塞州遊戲委員會周四以3比2投票，允許有執照的體育博彩經營者接受超級碗硬幣翻轉的幾個博彩市場。

Operators will be able to offer coin toss result, coin toss winner, and coin toss call result bets for Sunday’s game between the Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs.

運營商將能夠提供硬幣折騰的結果，硬幣折騰的冠軍，以及在費城老鷹隊和堪薩斯城酋長之間的周日比賽中賭注的呼叫結果。

Commissioner Brad Hill brought the issue back to the MGC after a fan at a recent basketball game he refereed yelled at him from the stands, asking if the state would allow coin flip bets during the Super Bowl.

專員布拉德·希爾（Brad Hill）在最近的一場籃球比賽中，他從看台上向他大喊大叫，詢問該州是否允許在超級碗期間允許硬幣翻轉賭注。

Commission members flipped their results last year when they voted down the same proposal to allow coin flip bets by a vote of 2-3.

委員會成員去年投票決定以2-3的投票允許硬幣翻轉賭注時，將其結果翻轉。

Commissioner Paul Brodeur swung the vote in favor of coin flips this year, as he and Commissioners Maynard and Hill voted for the new sports betting markets.

專員保羅·布羅德爾（Paul Brodeur）在今年投票支持硬幣的投票中，因為他和專員梅納德（Maynard）和希爾（Hill）投票贊成新的體育博彩市場。

“It’s not something that can be gamed, so I’m comfortable moving forward with this,” Brodeur said.

布羅德爾說：“這不是可以被授予的東西，所以我很願意向前邁進。”

Hill and Maynard voted in favor of the markets last year, but former MGC Chair Cathy Judd-Stein and Commissioners Eileen O’Brien and Nakisha Skinner voted against the proposal.

希爾和梅納德（Hill and Maynard）去年投票贊成市場，但前MGC主席Cathy Judd-Stein和專員Eileen O'Brien和Nakisha Skinner投票反對這一提案。

O’Brien pointed to the fact that no operators have petitioned the commission to add the bets to their sports betting catalogs. It’s not a “big revenue driver,” she said, and she doubts that anyone will be flocking to the unregulated markets or driving across state lines to place a bet on a coin flip.

奧布萊恩（O'Brien）指出，沒有運營商請求委員會將賭注添加到他們的體育博彩目錄中。她說，這不是“大收入驅動力”，她懷疑任何人都會湧向不受監管的市場或跨州行駛以押注硬幣翻轉。

Maynard stressed that operators should not offer the bets on short notice if they can’t offer them according to state gaming regulations.

梅納德（Maynard）強調，如果經營者根據州遊戲法規不能向他們提供賭注，則不應在短時間內提供賭注。

The MGC heard three noncompliance issues, two involving Caesars and one with Penn Sports Interactive.

MGC聽到了三個違規問題，其中兩個涉及凱撒，其中一個與Penn Sports Interactive。

Penn Sports Interactive, which is partnered with ESPN BET for online sports betting in the commonwealth, allegedly sent marketing materials to eight individuals who signed up for the state’s voluntary self-exclusion list. The sportsbook also sent marketing material to 36 individuals who had self-excluded with ESPN BET, but had been active at some point in Massachusetts.

賓夕法尼亞體育互動與ESPN BET在英聯邦的在線體育博彩合作，據稱向八名簽署該州自願性自我排斥列表的人發送了營銷材料。體育博彩還向36個人發送了營銷材料，他們對ESPN BET進行了自欺欺人，但在馬薩諸塞州的某個時候活躍。

Investigations and Enforcement Bureau (IEB) general counsel Zachary Mercer noted that Penn Sports Interactive self-reported the incident. The company became aware of the error after a consumer complaint from a separate jurisdiction prompted an investigation.

調查和執法局（IEB）總法律顧問Zachary Mercer指出，Penn Sports Intermitive自我報告了這一事件。在來自另一個司法管轄區的消費者投訴促使調查的消費者投訴之後，該公司意識到了這一錯誤。

Penn Sports Interactive reported the issue was due to human error from their marketing team “checking or unchecking appropriate boxes to filter communications sent to patrons.”

Penn Sports Interactive報導了問題是由於其營銷團隊的人為錯誤所致，“檢查或取消選中適當的盒子以過濾發送給顧客的通信”。

The MGC unanimously agreed to send the issue back to the IEB for further investigation and a recommendation on how to move forward.

MGC一致同意將問題發送回IEB進行進一步調查，並提出有關如何前進的建議。

The MGC also sent a noncompliance incident with Caesars Sportsbook back to the IEB for further investigation regarding the sportsbook’s knowledge based authentication question requirements.

MGC還向IEB發送了與Caesars Sports Book的違規事件，以進一步調查有關體育博彩基於知識的身份驗證問題要求的進一步調查。

Mercer explained to the commission that Caesars Sportsbook was out of compliance with the state’s knowledge based authentication question requirements from Sept. 1, 2023, through April 9, 2024.

默瑟向委員會解釋說，凱撒體育博彩不符合該州基於知識的身份驗證問題要求，從2023年9月1日至2024年4月9日。

Mercer said Caesars Sportsbook believed it had been in compliance with the state regulation during that time period after several discussions with the regulatory body.

默瑟說，凱撒體育書認為在與監管機構進行了幾次討論之後，在那段時間內，它符合州法規。

Caesars believed it was in compliance with regulations until the sports wagering division informed them they were not in July 2024. They reported they had no intent to willfully disregard non-compliance.

凱撒（Caesars）認為，這是遵守法規，直到體育投資部門告訴他們他們不在2024年7月。

Finally, the MGC agreed to hold an adjudicatory hearing for Caesars regarding an incident in which the sportsbook accepted bets on “total red cards” in a 2024 UEFA soccer tournament. Caesars Sportsbook accepted six bets between June 27, 2024 and July 9, 2024 for a total stake of $8,270.

最後，MGC同意舉行凱撒審判性聽證會，該聽證會在2024年的歐洲足球足球錦標賽中接受了一項事件，該事件接受了對“總紅牌”的賭注。凱撒體育博彩（Caesars Sportsbook）在2024年6月27日至2024年7月9日之間接受了六個賭注，總股份為8,270美元。

State law prohibits bets on injuries, penalties, player discipline, or play review.

州法律禁止押注傷害，處罰，球員紀律或審查。

The erroneous bets were not reported by Caesars Sportsbook. The sports wagering division informed the company they were offering prohibited bets.

Caesars Sportsbook沒有報告錯誤的賭注。體育下注部門通知了他們提供的禁止賭注的公司。

The MGC decided on an adjudicatory hearing without sending the incident back to the IEB for further investigation.

MGC決定進行審判聽證會，而無需將事件發送回IEB以進行進一步調查。
