Plainridge Park is a Category 2 slots facility for casino regulation and a Category 1 retail sports-wagering operator. Its casino category must not be copied to its sports-wagering licence.
MGC September 2026 casino and sports-wagering releaseLatest official market result

MGC September 2026 sports-wagering resultsEvent 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.
MGC approved events and wagersProspective 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.
