Not any Official Expression On The moment Fanatics Might Open For anyone Massachusetts Gamblers
Fanatics Sportsbook still has definitely not announced the moment its sportsbook app will be available to all eligible Massachusetts gamblers.
PlayMA reached out to a Fanatics representative twice in the past week about a timeline for a full launch but never received a response. Typically, that means there are no new updates the company wants to share publicly at the moment. Fanatics introduced its beta testing product in Massachusetts on May 25, but it is only open to existing Fanatics apparel customers.
When might Fanatics roll-out for all Ma bettors?
Originally, Fanatics had hopes to join the Massachusetts sports betting industry in May of this year.
That date has now come and gone, and a state launch date for its full product has not been announced.
Once again, Fanatics did launch its beta testing product in Massachusetts on May 25. It is only available to existing Fanatics customers eligible to bet on sports.
In May, those customers received an invitation with a code to access the beta version of the Fanatics Sportsbook Massachusetts app. Additionally, beta product users could claim a special deposit bonus of $200 in extra bets after placing a bet of $5 or more.
It seems likely that Fanatics is on the cusp of making its product available to all Massachusetts bettors, but for now, interested bettors who aren’t existing Fanatics customers must wait. They can download the app from the Apple Store or Google Play Store and join a waitlist.
New users will only be able to access the sportsbook for bets once the company releases it. Until then, check out our first look at the app to get an idea of what to expect.
Fanatics Sportsbook is the eighth sportsbook to enter the Massachusetts market. Previous platforms to launch are BetMGM, DraftKings, FanDuel, Caesars Sportsbook, Barstool Sportsbook, WynnBET, and Betr.
Lovers new to typically the sports betting scenario
Outside of wagering, Fanatics is a household name inside the sports accessories and goods industry. Now, in order to gain a foothold in the Massachusetts market, Fanatics is looking to convert merchandise customers into sports gamblers.
It attempted to leverage that merchandise expertise in Ohio by offering accessories customers a special welcome bonus when they downloaded the Fanatics Sportsbook app. The promotion offered users bonus bets equivalent to the amount of a qualifying merchandise or apparel purchase on the Fanatics website.
However, Ohio quickly requested Fanatics to cease offering the promotion. Additionally, a Fanatics Sportsbook spokesperson informed PlayMA that Fanatics may not be providing that merchandise bonus offer in Massachusetts.
