In-person sports betting starts at 10 a.m. Tuesday at casinos and mobile sports betting scheduled to commence in early March, though no exact date has been given yet. The Massachusetts Gaming Commission was scheduled to meet Monday to approve certificates of operation for the state's three casinos to begin accepting bets.
Former Gov. Charlie Baker signed a bill last August legalizing betting on professional and collegiate sports, joining more than 30 other states, including several neighbors. Baker said that he supported it because state residents were already traveling to Rhode Island, New Hampshire, New York and Connecticut to place legal wagers. Massachusetts expects to rake in as much as $50 million in added revenue once everything is up and running.
