Governor Rolls Out Massachusetts Sports Betting Bill

As part of his state budget proposal, the Governor Charlie Baker has introduced a Massachusetts sports betting bill that would allow online and mobile wagering to take place.

Wagering would be limited to professional sporting events, and the legislation would prohibit any bets on college games and any eSports competitions.

Regulation of the industry would fall to the Massachusetts Gaming Commission. Taxes on wagers at land based casinos would be taxed at 10%, while online bets would receive 12.5% tax.
