Maryland sports betting live since Dec. 9, 2021; more than 10 apps and 13 retail sportsbooks available
Maryland has offered legal sports betting since Dec. 9, 2021, and bettors can now choose from more than 10 licensed sportsbook apps and 13 licensed retail sportsbooks across the state.
That summary appears in a Fox News guide to Maryland sports betting.
The guide says sports betting in Maryland is regulated by the Maryland Lottery and Gaming Control Commission and the minimum wagering age is 21. It notes the law was signed in May 2021 under House Bill 940, the first sportsbook went live on Dec. 9, 2021, and mobile sports betting launched Nov. 23, 2022.
Fox News reports bettors do not need to be Maryland residents to place wagers but must be physically located in the state to do so. The guide also states bettors may wager on college teams in Maryland but, as of 2024, cannot place college player props; college player futures and season-long bets remain permitted.
The guide describes common promotional offers available to new users, including profit-boost bets, deposit matches and bet-and-get options, and warns that many bonuses are provided as bonus bets that expire.
