Illegal gambling is prohibited on the BSC campus

Bridgewater State College supports all federal and state laws regarding illegal gambling.

Prohibited activity includes but is not limited to: betting or wagering or selling pools on any athletic event, whether professional or amateur; playing card games for money or prizes; possessing any card, book or other device for registering bets; knowingly permitting the use of your room, suite, apartment, office, telephone, computer or other electronic device for illegal gambling; offering, soliciting or accepting a bribe to influence the outcome of an athletic event; involvement in unauthorized raffles or lotteries. Students involved in illegal gambling, particularly bookmaking, risk criminal prosecution and/or suspension from the college.
