Massachusetts Restrictions

Betting College Basketball in Massachusetts
Massachusetts has strict rules on in-state college betting. During the regular season and conference tournaments with fewer than four teams, MA bettors cannot wager on Boston College, UMass, Harvard, Northeastern, or any other in-state program. Once those teams enter a four-plus-team tournament like the NCAA Tournament, all betting markets open. Out-of-state college teams (Duke, Kentucky, UConn, etc.) are always available for betting. Player props on college games are restricted at most MA operators.
