There are currently six land-based casinos where Marylmarand players can place retail sports bets, and if everything goes to plan, the launch of legal Maryland online sports betting could happen by 2023. The best-case scenario is around MLB season.
Though several things still need to happen before the state launches mobile wagering, operators are making their intentions clear that they want in.
Though operator SuperBook Sports does not currently have a sports wagering licensee to operate in Maryland, it has found a way into the state. The world’s largest sportsbook has agreed to a long-term partnership with the Baltimore Orioles, bringing a retail sports lounge to Oriole Park at Camden Yards.
The partnership is still subject to licensing and approvals from the Maryland Lottery & Gaming Control Commission.
Details of the SuperBook agreement and what fans can expect
SuperBook Sports is one of the first and the largest sportsbooks in the US, famous for offering a huge number of betting lines, including 400 prop bets for the Super Bowl alone. SuperBook Westgate Las Vegas possesses the largest sportsbook in the world with over 35,000 square feet and the world’s largest 4K screen video wall.
The operator has been active in Nevada since 1986, and its online sports betting brand has expanded to other states. SuperBook mobile apps are available to Arizona, Nevada, Colorado and New Jersey players. SuperBook also entered Tennessee through the IGT deal as subcontractors.
And while there’s no solid date for the launch, it is speculated there could be as many as 60 sports betting sites entering the state.
Apart from SuperBook, top US sportsbooks like BetMGM, Caesars, DraftKings, FanDuel, and PointsBet already announced their presence and have partnerships in place for retail betting and will allegedly offer online wagers too.
