Massachusetts collected more than $12 million in sports betting taxes in the month of May.

In the month of May, $454,965,416.18 was wagered through current and future in-person and online sports bets. Retail licensees allowed for in-person sports wagering received $1,559,828.35 in taxable gaming revenue in May. The total gaming revenue across six online platforms was $59,410,840.40. The total taxes collected by the state in May for sports betting was $12,120,398.98.

MGM Springfield was in the negative for accrual winnings for a second month, meaning they paid out more to wagerers than they won in overall in-person bets.
