Massachusetts regulator awards first sports betting licence to Encore Boston Harbor
| By Robert Fletcher
Wynn Resorts’ Encore Boston Harbor has become the first operator to secure a new sports betting licence from the Massachusetts Gaming Commission (MGC).
The Category 1 Sports Wagering Operator licence will allow Encore to operate in-person sports betting at its casino property, as well as on up to two online platforms.
Encore must now secure a certificate of operations and meet additional conditions in order to launch sports betting.
