iLottery Authorized in Massachusetts as Governor Healey Signs FY 2025 Budget
Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey signed the fiscal year 2025 state budget that includes language legalizing online lottery sales for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Revenue from online lottery sales will support a grant program for early childhood education and care.
“We thank Governor Healey for her support of online Lottery and approving it in the final FY25 budget. This will allow the Lottery to keep pace with its competition and reach newer audiences. We are prepared to implement a safe and reliable iLottery that will produce significant resources for critical childcare services, which are so desperately needed across the state. Thank you to Speaker Ron Mariano, President Karen Spilka, and the Joint Ways and Means Committee for prioritizing this important policy change. And thank you to the legislators who have championed this issue. We are excited to get to work,” said State Treasurer Deborah B. Goldberg, Chair of the Massachusetts State Lottery Commission.
“Our team is excited to implement an online Lottery. We are ready and prepared to offer our players a modern lottery experience in a safe and accessible environment. At the same time, the Lottery is unwavering in its commitment to our dedicated retail partners who have helped us become the most successful lottery in the country,” said Mark William Bracken, Executive Director of the Mass Lottery.
The Lottery will be conducting a Request for Response to procure services for the operation of an online Lottery. Lottery officials anticipate launching its online platform in approximately 16 months. The legislation requires customers to be at least 21 years old to participate. The age requirement for retail Lottery sales remains 18.

Play’n GO secures Alberta iGaming supplier licence from AGLC
Play’n GO has been granted a licence to supply online gaming content in Alberta, as the province prepares to launch its regulated online market later this year.
The licence was awarded by the Alberta Gaming, Liquor & Cannabis Commission (AGLC). Play’n GO said the approval allows it to provide its online casino games to licensed operators in the province.
Magnus Olsson, Chief Commercial Officer at Play’n GO, said:
“Being granted a licence in Alberta is another important step in our North American growth journey and further strengthens our presence in Canada.
“Regulated markets are the foundation of our business, and Alberta represents an exciting opportunity to expand our footprint in a jurisdiction that shares our commitment to high standards, player protection and long‑term sustainability.”
Play’n GO said it has aligned its technology and game portfolio with Alberta’s regulatory requirements, with an initial batch of titles undergoing certification ahead of launch. The supplier is already active in Canada, with an established presence in Ontario and Quebec, according to the company.

Aviator Studio marks another major win in São Paulo court
Aviator Studio has secured a further legal victory in Brazil after São Paulo courts rejected additional injunction requests filed by SPRIBE in proceedings involving Aviator Studio directly.
Importantly, the latest rulings concern the direct legal dispute between Aviator Studio and SPRIBE itself, separate from the previously reported proceedings involving Foggo Entertainment and Betnacional.
Having already confirmed consecutive victories in Brazil connected to Foggo Entertainment, Aviator Studio has now confirmed that courts in São Paulo also ruled in its favour across both judicial instances of the proceedings.
In each case, the courts refused to grant the urgent measures sought by SPRIBE. As a result, Aviator Studio and its partners can continue operating while the broader AVIATOR trademark dispute progresses through the evidentiary phase.
The decisions add to a growing series of courtroom setbacks for SPRIBE in Brazil and further strengthen Aviator Studio’s legal position in the connected proceedings tied to the AVIATOR dispute as related proceedings continue across multiple jurisdictions.
Commenting on the development, representatives from Aviator Studio said: “These outcomes continue to confirm a clear judicial pattern. Attempts to obtain urgent injunctions against Aviator Studio and its partners in Brazil are consistently being rejected by the courts.”

Aviator Studio Achieves Major Legal Victory in São Paulo
Brazilian courts persist in denying SPRIBE’s injunction efforts as Aviator Studio achieves another two-instance triumph in São Paulo.
Aviator Studio achieved another legal triumph in Brazil as São Paulo courts denied further injunction requests submitted by SPRIBE in cases directly involving Aviator Studio.
Significantly, the recent decisions relate to the direct legal contention between Aviator Studio and SPRIBE, distinct from the previously mentioned cases involving Foggo Entertainment and Betnacional.
After securing consecutive wins in Brazil related to Foggo Entertainment, Aviator Studio has now announced that courts in São Paulo have also ruled in its favor at both judicial levels of the case.
In every instance, the courts denied the immediate actions requested by SPRIBE. Consequently, Aviator Studio and its associates can maintain their operations while the wider AVIATOR trademark conflict advances through the evidential stage.
The rulings contribute to an escalating number of courtroom defeats for SPRIBE in Brazil and further bolster Aviator Studio’s legal stance in the related proceedings linked to the AVIATOR dispute, as associated cases progress in various jurisdictions.
Commenting on the development, representatives from Aviator Studio said: “These outcomes continue to confirm a clear judicial pattern. Attempts to obtain urgent injunctions against Aviator Studio and its partners in Brazil are consistently being rejected by the courts.”
