Prospective Operators for Sports Wagering
The Massachusetts Gaming Commission requested that entities interested in licensure for sports wagering in Massachusetts submit a Notice of Intent and a subsequent Scoping Survey for informational purposes to aid the MGC in projecting the number of applicants for Sports Wagering Operator Licenses.
A list of the entities that submitted one or both of these documents can be found listed below, along with redacted versions of their completed applications, if applicable. Their associated filled-out forms and materials are available next to each entity’s name.
Neither a notice of intent nor a scoping survey is an application for a sports wagering license.
