How PlayMyWay works

Once enrolled, customers will get automatic notifications after approaching 50%, 75%, and 100% of the budget they have set for daily, weekly, or monthly spending.

Customers can choose to stop at any point or keep playing. They can also enroll, adjust their budget, or un-enroll in PlayMyWay from any game at the GameSense Info Center or at a GameSense Kiosk.

First time enrollees in PlayMyWay also receive a one-time food credit that can be used at select food vendors at the casino they enroll at.

Comprehensive Approach to Responsible Gambling

A first-of-its-kind initiative in the United States, this pilot program is part of a comprehensive approach to responsible gaming strategies implemented by the Massachusetts Gaming Commission, with a particular focus on problem gambling prevention and customer protection practices. PlayMyWay is intended to help players make decisions about gambling, allow them to monitor and understand their playing behavior in real time, and support their decisions.

The PlayMyWay program is the latest tool added to MGC’s wide-ranging and unique responsible gaming framework known as GameSense.
