Massachusetts gambling regulators on Thursday denied a request to allow legal betting on this year's Boston Marathon, citing concerns by the race's organizers.
All four members of the Massachusetts Gaming Commission who participated in the online meeting voted against the request by DraftKings.
“At this moment, there is not sufficient time for the Boston Athletic Association, nor its many partners and agencies, to coordinate and fully ensure proper protocols are in place to support such a proposal for wagering on our event," said Scott Stover, chief marketing officer for the BAA. The commissioners also discussed the proximity of the marathon, scheduled for April 17, and what they saw as DraftKings’ lack of communication with the BAA.
