Massachusetts officially welcomed sports betting to the state on January 31, 2023, with the launch of retail operators, followed closely by the highly anticipated rollout of online sportsbook apps on March 10, 2023. Now, residents over 21 and physically within state lines can choose from seven licensed online platforms, each vying for your attention with enticing welcome offers designed to get you started. These promotions commonly include ‘bet-and-get’ deals, profit boosts to enhance your winnings, or deposit matches that add bonus funds to your account. While retail betting is available at three prime locations—Encore Boston Harbor, MGM Springfield, and Plainridge Park Casino—the convenience of mobile apps allows you to explore multiple options to find your perfect match. Massachusetts, a state steeped in sports passion with iconic teams like the Celtics, Red Sox, Bruins, and the legendary New England Patriots, also permits college sports betting, with a notable caveat: you can wager on in-state teams only during postseason or multi-team tournament games, and individual player props are off the table at the collegiate level. This new era of legal sports wagering presents a wealth of opportunities for fans to engage with their favorite sports in a whole new way.
