WynnBet and Betr are leaving the Massachusetts sports wagering market.
In fact, WynnBet is withdrawing from seven other states as well.
The Massachusetts Gaming Commission (MGC) verified that both entities are discontinuing their activities within the state. Betr formally ceased operations on February 16th, receiving final approval from the MGC during a public assembly on February 21st. Betr patrons have until March 16th to extract any residual balances from their accounts. Subsequently, Massachusetts residents with remaining funds will be issued a mailed check.
WynnBet declared its Massachusetts departure in mid-February, and the MGC has affirmed that the company is undergoing a wind-down process. Clients can retrieve their wagering history until March 12th. WynnBet will directly contact anyone possessing unsettled wagers after that date.
Speculation regarding WynnBet’s scaling back emerged last August when the company revealed closures in several states. Initially, they assured everyone that Massachusetts and Nevada were secure, while New York and Michigan were “under evaluation.” It appears circumstances have shifted.
On their Massachusetts FAQ webpage, WynnBet states: “WynnBet has reached a business determination to halt operations of its mobile sports betting platform in Massachusetts.”
However, our associates will continue to manage their sports wagering venture in Boston Harbor, specifically the retail locations and interactive terminals.”
“On the topic of games of chance, Caesars recently acquired Wynn’s digital wagering platform in Michigan, known as WynnBet, I believe.”
