The Massachusetts Gaming Commission (MGC) has unveiled and adopted an official seal of approval for all state-licensed sports betting operators.

The seal will serve as a clear signal to players that they are accessing a licensed sports betting platform regulated by the MGC.

This new seal brings online operators into line with what is currently in place at land-based venues.

“The MGC has spent considerable efforts ensuring that the operators licensed in the state share our values and are committed to consumer protections and responsible gaming,” said MGC commissioner Eileen O’Brien.

“Massachusetts residents who choose to gamble on sports deserve to know their data, personal and financial information are protected and only the legal marketplace offers those protections.

“By locating this seal, users will be able to easily identify a legal sportsbook from an illegal operator.”
