Mass gambling deduction error

I have $5k in winnings at a MA casino in 2024 that was reported on W-2G and 700 in winnings reported on a W-2G at a NH casino. I lost the $5k at the MA casino and lost the the $700 at the NH casino. For federal taxes I itemized and reported gambling losses of $5700. When doing my Mass taxes it asks me for MA lottery wins. I typed 5k? (Is that right?)  It then asks me for losses. I typed $5k. TurboTax gives me an error and says on MA schedule Y I can only enter a max gambling losses of $700. Why is this the case when I lost $5k in MA?  Is it because the income that transferred from my federal return to MA doesn’t show the $5k because I reported losses of $5700?  Why does it allow me to deduct up to a loss of $700?  That wasn’t won in MA and my understanding is accordingly it cannot be deducted in MA as a gambling losses because the winnings weren’t from a MA licensed casino.
