General sports wagering application requirements, standards, and procedures > Evaluation of the Application by the Commission
Short Summary
This document outlines the process for evaluating Sports Wagering License Applications by the Massachusetts Gaming Commission. Once an application is deemed administratively sufficient, the Commission will conduct a substantive evaluation of its contents. The Commission may utilize technical assistance and analyze various factors and considerations without any particular order or weight. The evaluation may involve public meetings, requests for additional information or modified proposals, and the Commission will deliberate on license applications in a public meeting. The Commission will evaluate the application based on factors such as the applicant’s experience and expertise in sports wagering, economic impact and benefits to the Commonwealth, proposed measures related to responsible gaming, commitment to diversity and inclusion, technology to be used, and the suitability of the applicant and its qualifiers. For applications for untethered Category 3 licenses, the Commission will consider variations between applicants and how granting a particular application or combination of applications would maximize benefits and minimize harms. The Commission may implement competitive processes and review applications in multiple phases or rounds. Additionally, the document mentions the possibility of supplemental suitability determinations after deeming an applicant eligible for a Temporary License.
