Encore Boston Harbor Fined for Sports Wagering Catalog Noncompliance
The Massachusetts Gaming Commission has issued a $40,000 fine to Encore Boston Harbor (EBH) as a result of Encore’s sportsbook accepting wagers on two events involving a collegiate team based in Massachusetts not competing in a tournament.
These wagers are prohibited under Massachusetts General Law Chapter 23N Section 3, MGC regulation 205 CMR 247.01(2)(a)(2), and the Massachusetts Sports Wagering Catalog.
The Commission issued the fine following an Investigation and Enforcement Bureau investigation and an adjudicatory hearing in which the operator participated.
