Massachusetts became the latest state to legalize online sports gambling in August 2022, with Massachusetts sports betting apps and sites going live in early 2023. The people of the Bay State can play the state lottery from the age of 18, and they are also welcome to engage in pari-mutuel betting on horse racing. Horse racing and daily fantasy sports are a way of life here - hardly surprising, given that some gaming companies are headquartered in Boston. There are certain forms of online gambling in Massachusetts that residents can enjoy already. This was a critical step in garnering support for the future legalization of sports betting and online casinos.
The exception is social casinos also known as sweepstakes or free-to-play casinos.
