Mass. Gaming Regulators Open to Barstool-Branded Sportsbook

Plans for Plainridge Park Casino to offer sports betting in Massachusetts are moving ahead. The commission gave the casino a preliminary approval to seek a temporary license. It also gave investigators more time to review the involvement of Barstool Sports. Some commissioners have concerns about BarStool being the primary brand for a Massachusetts sports better. The company has long been a controversial brand with its "blackout" parties, the company's refusal to remove a naked picture of Tom Brady's 2-year-old son from its website, and a history of crude remarks from Portnoy and other Bar stools.
