Online and retail sports betting locations generated close to $48.3m in taxable gaming revenue during October. The state took in almost $9.7m in taxes from online and retail sports betting last month.
In other state news, the MGC recently released an official seal of approval that licensed operators around the state must include on their digital platforms.
The regulator developed and adopted the new seal “to be a clear signal to those who choose to gamble that they are accessing a platform licensed in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts by the MGC” and described this move as a “significant step.
The displayed seal can help players within Massachusetts’ borders distinguish which operators offer safe and legal ways to gamble.
