The proposal itself has common-sense intentions in that gambling of any sort that occurs in the Commonwealth should be regulated to a certain degree. However, it fails to address the most dangerous aspect of gambling that is promoted by organizations--private bets. Although many of these tournaments may take place to further the benefit of charitable causes, it is nearly impossible to regulate individuals who seek to place private bets with one another. What if the debts that result from these agreements are not paid? Could that not increase animosity among employees, leading to unfair practices in the workplace?  Having an administrator that oversees these tournaments would not prevent this from occurring. The "administrator" would likely be an individual from within the organization itself. This person could likely have placed their own wagers on the winners and losers of the games carried out in these tournaments. If this were not enough, there is no mention of "administrators" not being permitted to be participants in the tournament(s). This could lead to even more bias and conflict within the organization that decides to host one of these events.

**My solution: The state should fully-legalize gambling. Through this new legislation, an agency would have to be established to regulate gambling (in all forms) throughout the Commonwealth. This would ensure that "administrators" are unbiased and fair, and most importantly, not employees of the organization conducting these events.
