How to Sign Up for a Sportsbook in Massachusetts

The process will be basically the same as in other legalized states. You can do everything necessary to get signed up all from your phone/computer. Some states require an in-person sign-up, but Massachusetts is not one of those states. 

They also make signing up and depositing fairly simple as well. This is detailed in the next section, but for the sign-up process, the sportsbook will ask you a couple of personal questions to verify your identity. Then once you are signed up you can set up the payment method by syncing the app to your account.

How to Bet in Massachusetts 

Luckily, it is pretty easy to get started in a state like Massachusetts. Let’s detail the steps below.

1. Find and download a sportsbook.
   • There are a lot in Massachusetts, but let’s start with Caesars since they have such a generous offering of promos and odds boosts.
2. Sign up and Deposit
   • The sign-up and deposit step is pretty seamless. They will ask a couple of questions to verify your age and identity such as social security number, address, and/or driver’s license. But, it is pretty easy overall. 
   • Once you are signed up you will need to deposit money into your account. You will do this by selecting a payment method and proceeding with the prompt to get the payment method synced to your account. It is easiest to go with a direct deposit to a banking account since you can easily withdraw and deposit funds directly into that account.
3. Verify your Location
   • If you are on your phone then your phone will do this automatically using its GPS feature, but on the desktop can be a little more complicated. 
   • If you are using a desktop you will need to download a location tracking software called geocomply. Please refer to our article here with more details on geocomply. 
4. Place a bet!
   • Now you’ve gotten to the fun part. As mentioned earlier Caesars offers a wide variety of promotions and bonus bets for you to enjoy. But, in general, in order to place a bet, all you need to do is:
     • Navigate to the desired sport
     • Find the line that you would like to bet
     • Click or navigate to the bet slip
     • Click place bet!
