Diversity in Sports Wagering and Recommendations for Future Practices in The Massachusetts Industry
Prepared by the institute's Economic & Public Policy Research Group and Gemini Research
June 2025
As part of the legalization of sports wagering, the Massachusetts legislature required the Massachusetts Gaming Commission (MGC) to conduct a study concerning diverse participation within the sports wagering industry. In particular, this study provides findings about the participation of minority, women, and veteran business enterprises (MBE/WBE/VBE), and about the participation of minority, women, and veteran workers, in the sports wagering industry in the Commonwealth. The MGC contracted with the UMass Donahue Institute Economic & Public Policy Research Group in partnership with Gemini Research to conduct this study. Broadly, the study aims to inform the MGC of ways to expand employee and vendor diversity within the sports wagering sector, the newest area of
gambling activity in the Commonwealth.
