Six online operators have been approved by Massachusetts to offer mobile betting options in Massachusetts: WynnBet and WynnBet; FanDuel, DraftKings and Barstool; BetMGMGMM and Caesars.
Six months after the signing of House Bill 5164 by Charlie Baker, then-governor, online players have started placing bets with six licensed Massachusetts Gaming Commission (MGC), joining the majority of US states who have legalised this activity.
This rollout comes after the launch of retail betting towards the end January. That allowed any land-based casino operator or racetrack operator to apply and receive a license.
BetMGM CEO Adam Greenblatt stated that the Massachusetts debut of sports betting has brought an extraordinary amount of excitement to MGM Springfield’s retail Sportsbook. “We are proud to offer a better-than-average wagering experience in Massachusetts during one of the most exciting months for sports.”
Role for sports fans
Eric Hession, President of Caesars Digital, took the opportunity to thank MGC for allowing Caesars’ online sportsbook expansion to the State. He also highlighted the importance of sports fans in the new system.
