The decision came on Tuesday following seven hours of discussion and deliberation by the Commission and now means that WynnBet can launch its mobile sports betting app in March when the industry is expected to go live.
Speaking at the meeting, Jennifer Roberts, vice president and general counsel for WynnBET said:
First Massachusetts Mobile Sports Betting License Issued to WynnBet First Massachusetts Mobile Sports Betting License Issued to WynnBet, WynnBet’s land-based partner. The casino is one of three land-based casino operators who are automatically granted consideration for a license. First Massachusetts Mobile Sports Betting License Issued to WynnBet licenses according to legislation.Maynard said:
“We’ve been spoiled by looking at other applications, where we’ve seen (diversity) percentages. It’s not really that I want to look at every vendor, I want to see percentages. The only way I can understand how many is if I know what the universe looks like, that’s how ratios work.”
As a result, the Commission required that this information be supplied prior to WynnBet’s launch in 2023.
“Commissioners put conditions on the awarding of this license, including WynnBET providing the MGC with information on the company’s current vendor diversity statistics and establishing goals on diversity spend in advance of operating sports wagering in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.”
