Mobile sports betting launched in Massachusetts Friday, and the expansion of sports wagering was popular during its first weekend. According to GeoComply, more than 8 million sports betting geolocation transactions were recorded in Massachusetts through Sunday.

Those transactions were recorded across 406,400 player accounts at the six licensed and operational mobile sportsbooks in Massachusetts. Those six sportsbooks are Barstool Sportsbook, BetMGM, Caesars Sportsbook, DraftKings, FanDuel, and WynnBET.

“We are privileged to be licensed in Massachusetts and support operators and the [Massachusetts Gaming Commission] as it builds a regulated online sports betting market with responsible gambling hard-boiled into its regulations,” GeoComply SVP of Compliance Lindsay Slader said in a press release. “Massachusetts citizens will benefit from legal online sportsbooks dedicated to greater protection and an increased budget for responsible gambling programs.”
