During a public meeting of the Massachusetts Gaming Commission (MGC) where WSI US, LLC (WynnBET) presented and Commissioners reviewed that entity’s application for a sports wagering operator license, Commissioners voted unanimously to award a Category 3 sports wagering operator license to WynnBET. This license will be tethered to the Category 1 license awarded to Encore Boston Harbor.  
 
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.  
 
The MGC set a goal to launch retail sports wagering in late January 2023 and online/mobile sports wagering in March 2023. 
 
WynnBET now must obtain a certificate of operations and meet additional conditions, including but not limited to the conditions noted above, before they can accept wagers on approved sporting events. More information on a universal launch for retail wagering, followed by online wagering will be released as it becomes available.
