Gaming regulators appear poised to shed significant light Thursday on the process they will use to select the sports betting outfits that will be allowed to operate in Massachusetts and the timeline for getting both in-person and online betting up and running.

The Gaming Commission’s agenda for its 10 a.m. Thursday meeting is stacked with sports wagering topics: A discussion and possible vote “for possible emergency adoption” of regulations that lay out the application process for each of the three categories of licenses, presentation of a draft application form, a presentation on the application scoring process the commission could use, more discussions and possible votes on regulations related to sports betting taxes and the vendor licensing process, and a discussion of whether to launch retail and mobile betting at the same time or on different dates.
