A third-party provider that helps facilitate in-person sports betting at Encore Boston Harbor said Tuesday an illegal wager on a Boston College women’s basketball game occurred at the casino partly because officials rushed to upload an approved betting catalog only days before retail betting went live.
During a nearly hour-long morning hearing, members of the Massachusetts Gaming Commission, Encore, WynnBET, and sports betting technology platform GAN outlined in detail how a patron was able to include a Feb. 2 Boston College versus Notre Dame women’s basketball game in a $70 parlay made at a kiosk inside the casino.
