The Wyoming Gaming Commission (WGC) is making efforts to educate itself on the practice of operators limiting sports bettors.
During an annual fall meeting last week, the WGC hosted an informational presentation on betting limits by professional gambler and American Bettors’ Voice chairman Gadoon “Spanky” Kyrollos. The presentation provided the WGC with a foundational understanding of sports betting along with betting limits and how and why operators issue them to players. The limits are being met with backlash as players believe they hold them back and create a gaming environment that lacks openness, transparency and profitability.
“It’s become an epidemic essentially how these operators are treating customers,” Kyrollos told WGC commissioners. “It’s not just smart customers that are being treated this way. It’s customers that do their homework, read more, and are able to analyze more.”
