According to reports, all three casinos broke the Massachusetts sports betting statute, which forbids placing bets on in-state college teams. There is one exception that permits wagering on sporting events such as March Madness.

Since sports betting was only legalised in Massachusetts two weeks ago, the MGC doesn't have a comprehensive set of rules to handle these kinds of situations. During their discussion on February 14th, the committee talked about how they had anticipated seeing infractions during the early stages of betting.

During this conference, it was also disclosed that one of the vendors had accidentally located one of the teams in Florida instead of Massachusetts. Since there isn't a college in Florida with the same name, the committee is looking for clarification on this.

The first decision-making point on these things is crucial, according to Chairwoman Cathy Judd-Stein's statement on Tuesday.

For the Merrimack College vs. Long Island University basketball game, Plainridge Park had taken 33 wagers totaling nearly $7,000.

One wager was received by Encore Boston Harbour casino over the women's basketball game between Boston College and Notre Dame. The examination revealed that women's teams had not originally been added to the list of bets that were prohibited, which is why this was reported early.

Two wagers were accepted by MGM Springfield for a Harvard University men's basketball game.

The MGC decided to go towards an adjudicatory hearing so that operators and the Enforcement and Investigations Bureau could make their claims. They will be able to decide what kind of penalty the casinos should anticipate after going over all of the data.
