Bally’s is preparing to release its new betting platform, Bally Bet, with the Massachusetts Gaming Commission (MGC)’s director of sports betting, Bruce Band, targeting the latter stages of Q2.<\/strong><\/p>\n Massachusetts residents who partake in betting have lost two online options in 2024, as Betr and WynnBet removed its platforms – but MA could see the return of one more as Bally’s are set to enter the state by June.<\/p>\n In 2023, Bally’s became a licensed operator in MA but failed to release throughout the year and they have now renewed that licence for 2024.<\/p>\n There are still a plethora of options in the state, as ESPN Bet, BetMGM, Fanatics Sportsbook, Caesars Sportsbook, FanDuel and DraftKings are currently live in Massachusetts.<\/p>\n Bally’s have made a strong start to the year in terms of releases, as on March 5th, the betting site revealed an igaming platform in Rhode Island – adding to the monopoly already present in RI.<\/p>\n This came at an important time, as the MGC were adamant that they would make the release in Rhode Island their primary objective before moving elsewhere.<\/p>\n Before its full release, Bally has to adhere to betting rules and regulations, like checking the safety of equipment and confirming proper controls within the site.<\/p>\n Bruce Band got a hold of the information that Bally were preparing to launch in MA, after he contacted Bally about the plans and next steps after releasing in Rhode Island.<\/p>\n This was reportedly the first time he had been in direct contact since December 2023, after attempting to finalize plans in several occasions.<\/p>\n Another key factor is the commission approving plans to include sports bets on the United Football League (UFL), which was boosted by the recent XFL-USFL collaboration.<\/p>\n Cathy Judd-Stein, the commission chair, is set to retire from the role after five years at the helm and was positive in her final speech.<\/p>\n She said: \u201cFor me, public service has offered the rewarding opportunity to influence policy where key public and private interests intersect.<\/p>\n \u201cMy appointment to serve the MGC has been such a privilege as we\u2019ve championed transformation policies on behalf of all Massachusetts residents, advancing a safe and sustainable gaming landscape.\u201d<\/p>\nBally Bet In Massachusetts<\/h2>\n
