The Massachusetts Gaming Commission's agenda for Thursday includes significant changes in the state's sports betting landscape. WynnBET has requested permission to exit the Massachusetts market, joining Betr, which had already announced its departure. Additionally, the agenda features three non-compliance items that involve Fanatics, MGM Springfield, and BetMGM. The shakeup coincides with the one-year anniversary of Massachusetts' retail sports betting launch on January 31, with the potential reduction to only six operating mobile sportsbooks out of the 15 available licenses, despite an overall handle surpassing $5 billion.
MGM Resorts and the Nevada Gaming Control Board are going to be busy tomorrow, we’re told (Sibella and Nixwise). Full court girding recommended.
