D.C. Lottery caps retail kiosk wagers at $1,000 under emergency rules
The D.C. Lottery introduced emergency limits on retail sports wagers at GambetDC kiosks in late June, reportedly after observing a customer placing frequent, high-value bets. The rules cap each kiosk wager at $1,000 and allow limits based on wagering time, amount or volume; they are due to remain in force through at least 29 October. The lottery cited responsible-gambling concerns, according to its statement reported in the report.
The rules set a maximum kiosk wager and give the lottery discretion to restrict customers’ wagering activity.
