On Jan. 31, sports betting will be officially legalized in Massachusetts.
Beginning at 10 a.m. people will be allowed to visit one of the three casinos in the state and place wagers on sporting events, given they are over the age of 21.
The three eligible casinos are the MGM in Springfield, Encore Boston Harbor in Everett, and the Plainridge Park Casino in Plainville.
For people interested in mobile betting, the option is going to have a delayed launch. The current estimate for when people will be able to use mobile sportsbooks is sometime in March but nothing has been confirmed yet.
