Massachusetts legalized sports betting earlier this year, but Bay Staters will likely have to wait until next year to place bets. Officials must develop hundreds of regulations before sports betting can begin in Massachusetts, leading to a tentative timeline of late January, potentially in time for retail wagering on the Super Bowl, and even longer for mobile or online sports betting. 'I think our legal team identified about 250 regulations that need to be promulgated,' said Thomas Mills, a spokesperson for the Massachusetts Gaming Commission, adding it may take until early March for mobile and online wagering to come online.
