With all three of the state’s legal sportsbooks now having already owned up to accepting bets on games that were not legally permitted, the Massachusetts Gaming Commission on Tuesday began to “set the goalposts” as to how it will handle this type of matter with the industry it newly oversees.

Legal sports betting has only been live in Massachusetts for two weeks and how the commission addresses these violations could set a standard going forward, including when mobile betting launches on March 10. The commission’s discussion Tuesday made clear that regulators expected to encounter violations in the early days of betting and that sportsbook operators are not 100 percent clear on the limits to legal wagers in the Bay State.
