Do not mix licence categories

Plainridge Park is a Category 2 slots facility for casino regulation but a Category 1 sports-wagering operator. The category on an MGC casino record should not be copied into the sports-wagering licence field.

Event and wager limits

An operator licence does not make every market available. MGC points users to its wagering catalog, bars most wagers on Massachusetts college teams outside tournaments and prohibits specified Russian, Belarusian and judged-event markets.

Prospective interest is not a licence

MGC reopened its licensing process in April 2026 and requested notices of intent, but expressly says a notice of intent is not a licence application. Atlas does not add prospective entities to the current directory.
