The Massachusetts Gaming Commission (MGC) says the debut of online sports betting platforms scheduled for next week remains on schedule. The timeline is still unimpeded despite the commonwealth’s three retail sportsbooks admitting to regulatory errors in their first few weeks in operation.
The first legal sports bets in Massachusetts history were placed on January 31 at the state’s three commercial casinos. But in the inaugural weeks, each retail sportsbook admitted to violating the MGC’s sports betting rules.
The MGC says the regulatory glitches won’t delay the debut of online sports betting. The five-member commission plans to issue seven online sportsbook licenses, with the recipients including WynnBet, BetMGM, Barstool, DraftKings, FanDuel, Caesars Sportsbook, and Betr.
