TITLE: Massachusetts Gaming Commission Publishes Noncompliance Enforcement Actions Against Gaming and Sports Wagering Operators
BODY:
The Massachusetts Gaming Commission (MGC) publishes enforcement actions taken against gaming and sports wagering operators that breach regulatory requirements. The MGC tracks enforcement actions taken by the Commission and its Investigations and Enforcement Bureau (IEB), with records of actions taken before 2025 available separately. The enforcement table, last updated on May 5, 2026, documents violations spanning gaming, sports wagering, and related compliance areas.
Gaming enforcement includes a March 5, 2025 security violation by Blue Tarp reDevelopment, LLC, operating as MGM Springfield under a Category 1 Gaming License, which resulted in a civil administrative penalty of $200,000. Sports wagering enforcement actions address multiple violation categories. Catalog noncompliance—the most frequently cited violation type—has resulted in penalties ranging from $5,000 to $20,000 imposed on operators including Penn Sports Interactive, BetMGM, FanDuel, Fanatics Betting and Gaming, DraftKings, BallyBet, and Caesars Sportsbook. Additional violation types include advertising noncompliance, know-your-customer (KYC) requirement noncompliance, and patron account noncompliance. The most significant penalty on record is a $450,000 fine plus conditions imposed on Crown MA Gaming, LLC, operating as DraftKings, on July 25, 2025, for patron account noncompliance. A $60,000 fine was assessed against BetMGM on December 12, 2025, for catalog noncompliance.
The MGC enforces compliance through both the IEB, which issues civil administrative penalties, and Commission-level actions, which may include fines and additional conditions. Operators subject to enforcement include all major licensed sports wagering providers operating in Massachusetts. Supporting documentation for each enforcement action, including fine notices and civil administrative penalty notices, is available through the MGC website.
