Gaming regulators discussed setting a “soft launch” for in-person sports betting at the three casinos in Massachusetts on Jan. 30, 2023, and a full launch the next day, which, if the schedule holds, would make wagering options available to residents days before the Super Bowl.
It is the first time the Massachusetts Gaming Commission has placed firm dates on the launch of sports betting in the state. All three casinos — Encore Boston Harbor, MGM Springfield, and Plainridge Park Casino — have been approved in some form to offer in-person sports betting at their facilities.
