Fanatics Sportsbook has gone live with its sportsbook in Massachusetts, moving out of beta and into full launch ahead of the 2023 NFL season.
The apparel giant has been slowly building its betting product over the last 2.5 years and agreed to acquire PointsBet, giving it access to New York and more than a dozen legal online betting states. But the deal won't close until Aug. 31, and then Fanatics will slowly start to acquire PointsBet's market access in each state, three at a time, until May 2024 at the latest.
Right now, Fanatics is offering a $100 no sweat bet for your first 10 days on the platform. So if you miss a day, you won't get that $100. If you do five days worth of bets, you'll get $500 in total no sweat value.
Fanatics got licensed on its own in Massachusetts, paving the way for this beta launch. PointsBet chose not to get licensed and operate in Mass. It's also offering its sportsbook in Kentucky, Maryland, Ohio and Tennessee.
Who's it for?
Action users in Maryland, Massachusetts, Ohio and Tennessee. The terms of the Fanatics/PointsBet deal says it will be live in all of PointsBet's states by May 2024 at the latest, with the biggest betting states — Illinois, New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey — likely the first priorities.
Where will Fanatics Operate?
PointsBet has a license in 12 states that Fanatics does not, including a few big, expensive states to get into — New York and Pennsylvania among them. Fanatics got its own licenses in Ohio, Tennessee, Massachusetts and Maryland. It plans to launch its beta in MD sometime next week.
