The Massachusetts Gaming Commission (MGC) has voted to approve sports apparel giant Fanatics for a temporary sports betting operator licence, while the regulator also appointed Bruce Band to lead its new sports betting division.
Commissioners voted unanimously to approve Fanatics for a Category 3 sports betting operator licence, which will be tethered to Plainridge Park Casino’s Category 1 sports wagering licence.
However, Fanatics will need to undergo a full suitability review by the MGC’s Investigations and Enforcement Bureau. After this, Fanatics will also need to obtain an operations certificate and meet additional conditions to begin accepting sports wagers.
