A special commission tasked with generating a comprehensive report on various online activities is ready to give their recommendations to the Massachusetts state legislature. According to Statehouse News Service, the commission is likely to recommend online gambling in an omnibus approach to regulating the industry.
Online gambling is currently illegal in the state, while paid-entry fantasy sports is legal and regulated. An iGaming bill was introduced in the state legislature earlier this year but did not gain much momentum or support from legislators.
But Statehouse News reported that “most commission members who shared their points of view indicated that they would favour the omnibus approach” to iGaming. In terms of online gambling, that would mean the legalisation of online casino games and poker.
