Short Summary
This legal document pertains to the issuance and posting of an Operation Certificate for sports wagering operators in Massachusetts. Before conducting sports wagering, operators must request and obtain an Operation Certificate from the Massachusetts Gaming Commission. The Commission conducts reviews, on-site tests, and inspections to ensure compliance with regulations. A conditional Operation Certificate may be issued by a designee, subject to ratification by the full Commission, after a successful test period and satisfaction of outstanding conditions. The Operation Certificate must be posted within a sports wagering facility or prominently displayed on a sports wagering website or mobile application. The certificate will only be issued if the operator has demonstrated compliance with all requirements of M.G.L. c. 23N, 205 CMR, and applicable laws. These requirements include approval of internal controls, provision of employee and vendor lists, compliance with facility construction and emergency response plan requirements, and obtaining necessary permits. The Commission may impose additional conditions to secure the objectives of M.G.L. c. 23N and 205 CMR.
