With another operator found qualified for licensure, Massachusetts regulators are getting close to issuing approvals for “untethered” sports betting sites in the state.

The Massachusetts Gaming Commission (MGC) [last] Tuesday found that PointsBet met the criteria to offer mobile sports betting, advancing the Australia-based bookmaker’s application to a group evaluation that will begin on Wednesday.

“We’re all set on all the application’s sections,” MGC Chair Cathy Judd-Stein said at the end of the meeting.
