Massachusetts Gaming Commission approves $25,000 MGM Springfield penalty
The Massachusetts Gaming Commission approved a $25,000 civil penalty for MGM Springfield after its BetMGM sportsbook briefly offered odds on a 2025 college baseball game involving Northeastern. The market was available for about two hours, but no wagers were accepted; the commission voted 5-0 to approve the penalty.
The penalty reinforces Massachusetts’ restriction on wagering on games involving in-state colleges, subject to a tournament exception.
