Nearly a dozen sportsbook operators have already confirmed their interest in a Massachusetts sports betting license as of Thursday.
The Massachusetts Gaming Commission asked anyone interested in running one of the 15 Massachusetts online sportsbooks to let the commission know via email. Knowing just how many applicants there might be, especially for the seven competitive-bid licenses, will help the commission with a potential launch timeline, Executive Director Karen Wells said.
Operators still have until Aug. 31 to email to make their interest known.
