Massachusetts Legislature Passes Bill to Legalize Sports Betting in the Commonwealth
After years of negotiations and pressure by stakeholders, the Massachusetts House and Senate recently passed House Bill 5164 (H.5164) which would legalize sports betting in the Commonwealth. Instead of crossing state lines to place bets in Rhode Island or Connecticut, Massachusetts residents are on the verge of being able to submit their wagers closer to home. The bill is currently pending Governor Baker’s approval.
