Bettors will have to wait until the end of January to learn which businesses will receive the official green light from state regulators to offer mobile sports betting in Massachusetts, according to a new timeline presented Thursday.
The Massachusetts Gaming Commission plans to kick off next week a review of applications for what are known as category three untethered sports betting licenses, essentially the businesses that want to offer digital- or mobile-only wagering not connected to a casino, horse racetrack, or simulcasting facility.
Six companies have applied to offer mobile sports betting not tied to a brick-and-mortar operation in Massachusetts, including FanDuel, BetR, Bally’s Interactive, DraftKings, PointsBet, and Betway.
