If residents of Massachusetts are to be asked whether the state lottery should expand over the internet, majority of them believe that the game shouldn’t be accessed that easily
This was according to the survey conducted by Save Our Neighborhood Coalition, who said that at least 80 percent of the respondents are opposed to the plan of creating online lottery games.
News 22 reported that most of the respondents opposing the online lottery expansion voiced their concern on that minors will possibly gamble illegally; that their banking information being stolen: and gambling addictions becoming worse.
On the other hand, ninety percent are against the plan for people to pay for online lottery games with credit cards or electronic transfers. Between ticket sales, the Plainridge casino, and casinos to come like MGM Springfield, the majority of respondents say the Massachusetts gambling system is already over saturated.
