The Category 3 licenses must be tethered to a brick-and-mortar casino.<\/p>\n<div class=\"callout\">\n<p class=\"p1\">The MGC closed its initial Category 1 and 3 license application period on November 22. MGM Springfield submitted its Category 1 license bid ahead of the deadline, but the company failed to properly include BetMGM\u2019s application for a Category 3 license.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"p1\">MGM Springfield plans to use BetMGM as its retail and online sports betting operator. The casino has not yet found a third-party online sportsbook partner for its Category 1 license\u2019s internet skin opportunity.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The five-member MGC, following a discussion on the matter, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.casino.org\/news\/mgm-springfield-submits-sports-betting-application-late\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">voted to accept BetMGM\u2019s tardy application<\/a> on November 29. The motion came on the recommendation of MGC Executive Director Karen Wells. She said since the Category 1 licenses are not being issued through competitive bidding, as the permits are reserved only for the three casinos, allowing BetMGM\u2019s late bid would not aggrieve other bidding parties.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"State_Lawmaker_Wants_Fine\"><\/span><b>State Lawmaker Wants Fine<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\">Massachusetts state Rep. Angelo Puppolo (D-Hampden) believes the MGC let MGM Springfield and BetMGM off too easy. In a phone interview with <i>MassLive<\/i>, Puppolo said the casino\u2019s \u201ccaviler and lackadaisical behavior\u201d deserved a sterner reaction from the state.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"main-blockquote\">\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong>I thought [the Gaming Commission] should have been a little bit more to task about the fact that they were late with the filing,\u201d<\/strong> Puppolo said. <strong>\u201cThere\u2019s consequences if you\u2019re late with taxes, income taxes, property taxes, credit card bills. You get fined. There are penalties, repercussions.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cI think that it was a missed opportunity,\u201d Puppolo added. As for a suggested fine, the Democrat proposed a quarter of a million dollars.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">But instead of a $250K fine, the MGC welcomed BetMGM into its initial review grouping. The MGC on Tuesday formally deemed <a href=\"https:\/\/www.casino.org\/news\/mgm-springfield-awarded-category-1-sports-betting-license\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">MGM Springfield and BetMGM suitable<\/a> to hold sports wagering licenses.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Caesars_Sportsbook_Approved\"><\/span><b>Caesars Sportsbook Approved<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\">Along with approving licenses for MGM Springfield and BetMGM, the commission earlier recognized <a href=\"https:\/\/www.casino.org\/news\/wynnbet-receives-first-mobile-sportsbook-license-in-massachusetts\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Encore Boston Harbor and WynnBet<\/a> as approved sports betting operators.

Barstool\u2019s license will be valid for only one year instead of five. That limitation lasts until an investigation into the social media and gaming company and its controversial founder Dave Portnoy is completed by the MGC\u2019s Investigation and Enforcement Bureau.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"p1\">Finally, the MGC on Tuesday approved Caesars Sportsbook\u2019s Category 3 license submission.
