Wynn Resorts Pushes Back Against iGaming Expansion in Massachusetts as DraftKings Pushes Forward

The debate over iGaming legalization in Massachusetts has intensified as Wynn Resorts publicly voiced its opposition to bringing online casino gaming to the state. According to Wynn, the introduction of full-scale iGaming could negatively impact land-based casino performance and disrupt existing market stability. In contrast, DraftKings, whose headquarters are located in Boston, has been one of the strongest advocates for legalization. The company is actively lobbying lawmakers, arguing that regulated iGaming would generate new tax revenue, reduce the influence of offshore operators, and modernize the state’s gambling ecosystem. State legislators are currently reviewing proposals to allow online casino platforms, and the contrasting positions of Wynn and DraftKings highlight the growing divide between traditional brick-and-mortar casinos and digital-first gambling companies. The outcome may shape Massachusetts’ regulatory landscape for years to come.
