Governor Charlie Baker has supported sports betting previously in Massachusetts, but the state has yet to legalize the practice.
On Sunday, using the Super Bowl as a backdrop, Baker once again voiced his support for sports betting in a tweet, noting that Massachusetts loses revenue to nearby states.
“We filed a bill in 2019 and again last year to make sports gaming legal,” Baker tweeted. “MA is losing out to neighboring states on this, especially during big games.
“Enjoy the Super Bowl, and let’s make sports gaming happen!”
Baker, who announced in December that he would not seek re-election, told reporters last month that the legalization of sports gambling is one of the issues he would like to sign into law before he leaves office.
