Massachusetts inches closer to legal sports betting with MGM license

MGM Springfield casino received the “second sports betting retail license granted by the Massachusetts Gaming Commission,” putting sports betting in the state “ever closer to reality,” according to Michael Silverman of the BOSTON GLOBE. BetMGM also received a Category 3 temporary online license. The Encore Boston Harbor in Everett also has a Category 1 retail license, while WynnBet through the Everett casino has a Category 3 license. If the MGC “can continue to check off items on its licensing and regulatory fronts, the timeline remains for retail sports betting to launch in late January, and online sports betting in early March” (BOSTON GLOBE, 12/19).
