The Massachusetts Gaming Commission announced Monday night that they have voted in favor of granting BetMGM a Category 3 sports wagering operator license. The commission met with BetMGM officials Monday to review the application.

According to Thomas Mills of the Massachusetts Gaming Commission, commissioners unanimously voted to “find BetMGM preliminarily suitable for a temporary Category 3 sports wagering operator license.”

BetMGM must comply to the commissions conditions, including timely updates “regarding any developments to two confidential investigations first reported to the Investigations and Enforcement Bureau on December 16, 2022.”

BetMGM will also have to present the gaming commission with a vendor diversity list. The Category 3 license will be tethered to MGM Springfield’s Category 1 gaming license, which was also approved Monday afternoon.
