Thursday's meeting of the Massachusetts Gaming Commission reviewed requests from multiple operators to add new prop bets and even a new sports league for Bay State bettors to bet on.
Fanatics also submitted some clarifications to its house rules for a number of sports. In golf, the operator revised rules for clarification should the number of rounds be changed for any reason, like due to weather. It also added rules to address additional market types in soccer for prop bet selections like player assists, player goals, and player shots on target.
And for those inclined, Fanatics also wishes to offer wagering on badminton. The commission noted that the operator’s house rules governing badminton are in line with what other operators already have approved, and that they’ve been approved for Fanatics in other states. FanDuel’s changes weren’t as extensive as Fanatics’ were, but they have some timely updates that will impact major sporting events taking place this time of year.
There will also be a slight adjustment for futures on the NCAA basketball tournament to include 68 teams and not just 64 teams since the field now encompasses a first four play-in round.
