Before Super Bowl LIX kicks off this Sunday, the Massachusetts Gaming Commission (MGC) is urging those who choose to bet to do so with an operator licensed in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. As sports betting continues to grow in popularity, residents must understand the importance of choosing legal and regulated platforms that prioritize consumer safety and fair play.
The MGC has implemented a critical consumer protection measure by introducing the Seal of Approval for sports wagering operators. Since November 2024, sports wagering operators in Massachusetts have been required to display this official seal on their digital platforms. This seal is a clear sign to consumers, helping them easily distinguish between legal, licensed operators and potentially unsafe, illegal alternatives.

The MGC’s Sports Wagering Approved Events & Wagers page provides comprehensive information for those interested in sports betting. The Massachusetts Sports Wagering Catalog offers an extensive list of approved events and wagers, giving bettors a clear understanding of their options. Each licensed operator also maintains specific House Rules, which can be found on their individual licensee pages. These detailed guidelines help ensure that all betting activities are conducted fairly, transparently, and in compliance with state regulations.
Licensed operators offer a range of player protection resources to promote responsible gaming. These include features like time and deposit limits, which help individuals maintain control over their betting activities. The MGC encourages the public to utilize these responsible gaming tools.
Before placing any wager, the Commission urges the public to take a moment to carefully consider the odds, understand the betting terms, and establish clear personal boundaries. Decide in advance how much time and money you are willing to spend and stick to your predetermined limits. For additional guidance, the Responsible Gaming page provides valuable tips and strategies.
