In this intriguing video, the host discusses his specific experience with each of the U.S. regulated sportsbooks and their quick trigger approach at imposing limits on him.

We may have some good news in 2025 as the Massachusetts Gaming Commission (MGC) will now be seeking information concerning how and why players were limited following recent hearings on the matter.

The MGC will then consider possible regulations.

Friend of the site, Gadoon “Spanky” Kyrollos, has been actively pushing to have state regulators crack down on sportsbook sites that impose strict limits simply because customers are beating them. 

Green Means Go Sports breaks down the times for each segment should be looking at a specific brand.  You can check these out below the video.

With DraftKings, on an NBA moneyline bet, GMGS is limited to an $80 win.

"An NBA moneyline bet - like, a pretty sharp market - a market that is heavily bet - and should be able to set a line accurately," the despondent host explains.

He goes on to note that with a player prop at -120 juice, he can only win $6.50.

"Now I will say this is the worst possible limiting tier at DraftKings as far as I know," he said.  "There are tiers higher than this that are still limited and then there are unlimited tiers."

He based this analysis on his own personal experience. 

"I believe they have three tiers.  They have a house maximum, what they would call an 'unlimited' account.  They have a semi-limited account.....and then they have this."   

Those $6.50 winning props.

"This is as bad as it gets."
