We, the undersigned, urge lawmakers to keep iGaming (internet gaming) out of Massachusetts.

iGaming would put slot machines, roulette, and blackjack on every phone, creating 24/7 access to the most addictive forms of gambling. Harvard public health experts warn it is ten times more harmful than traditional casinos.

Legalizing iGaming will:

• Fuel addiction, especially among teens and vulnerable residents
• Destroy up to 1,800 union jobs and destabilize our existing casinos
• Cost Massachusetts hundreds of millions in lost taxes, wages, and community investment

The risks far outweigh the false promise of revenue.

Don’t put a casino in every pocket.
