US Congress examines sports betting among college students
A US House subcommittee held a hearing on sports betting on college campuses, where Massachusetts Gaming Commission chair Jordan Maynard testified about underage access. Maynard cited a survey finding that 34% of college students using sportsbook apps were under 21; he said age checks had prevented at least 11,000 underage accounts from opening in Massachusetts.
The hearing puts underage access and the regulation of sports betting and prediction markets before federal lawmakers.
