Massachusetts bill proposes online casinos and sweepstakes ban
Massachusetts HB 4431 proposes legalising online casino gaming from 1 January 2026 and prohibiting sweepstakes casinos. Filed by Rep. David K. Muradian Jr. in January, it was referred to the Joint Committee on Economic Development and Emerging Technologies on 18 August. The proposal sets a 15% tax on adjusted gross revenue and fines of $10,000 to $100,000 per sweepstakes-casino offence.
Operators and suppliers would face proposed licensing fees, a new tax and restrictions if the bill becomes law.
