One of the senators who negotiated a last-minute compromise to legalize sports betting in Massachusetts told sports fans and bettors Tuesday afternoon that he expects they will be able to plunk down some cash on the New England Patriots this season.
on 98.5 The Sports Hub, Sen. Eric Lesser said he"expect[s] and hope[s]" that Gov. Charlie Baker will sign the betting bill this week and then it will be up to the Mass. Gaming Commission to write regulations and begin issuing betting licenses.
"And they've told us in the past that it'll take about 90 days for them to do that. We've been actively kind of talking to them and they've been following along so they should be basically up to speed on all the different components," Lesser said."So you're talking about maybe October that the whole thing could be up and running. So you know, pretty soon, and definitely for the fall football season.
The House and Senate have agreed on a bill that would legalize sports betting, and Massachusetts Gov. Charlie Baker is expected to sign it.
