This page is designed to serve as a resource guide for Massachusetts players seeking information on legal gambling entertainment options, an overview of what the state’s laws have to say about gambling both online and offline, and how federal laws play into the various markets. While area gamblers wait for those options to open in 2023, gambling laws allow a variety of gambling entertainment right now, such as casino and poker gambling, horse racing betting, lotteries, and offshore sportsbook sites. Massachusetts has now legalized online sports gambling using mobile devices, computers, and at retail sportsbook locations.
Domestic sports betting venues (online, mobile, in-person) are scheduled to debut in early 2023. Massachusetts legal online gambling is currently available via legitimate international operators.
