Maryland Online Gambling 2020

Maryland currently offers legalized offline casinos and poker. Lotteries were made legal in the 1970s, and the first casinos appeared in 2010. There are now over a dozen casinos across the state, including the Horseshoe Casino which is run by Caesars Entertainment and MGM National Harbor Casino. Gambling is overseen by the Maryland Lottery and Gaming Control Agency.

Casino revenue in Maryland has now surpassed that provided by legal lotteries. And with major casino chains looking o expand their resorts, Maryland gamblers will get more opportunities to play games. We are following the development of online gambling in Maryland and are looking forward to 2020.

Sportsbooks

While the idea of legal sportsbooks in Maryland is a popular one with voters as well as politicians, the state continues to have trouble passing any legislation. For now, you will not find any legit sportsbooks in Maryland and online sports betting will probably remain the case until 2020 or 2021 at the earliest when the laws are ready.

Casinos

Maryland may have been late to the casino game but they are making up for lost time and as of 2010, there are now six casinos operating in the state. Some of the biggest names in the business such as Caesar’s, MGM, and Hollywood have operations in the state and are able to offer every casino game and experience they please.

Online Poker

All sorts of online gambling is headed for legalization in the state of Maryland but it will all take some time. As for now, online poker does exist in Maryland but only through off-shore poker sites.

Lotteries

Since the early 1970’s, Maryland has been expanding their lottery product and now includes every major lottery game available, drawing or scratch off, such as Mega Millions and Powerball. Their website is very helpful as well and even offers its own set of insta-games.

Fantasy Sports

While the fantasy sports industry has had a tough road in many states, operating in Maryland was much easier. DFS sites such as DraftKings, FanDuel, and FantasyDraft are all able to operate freely in the state with no problems.

Horse Racing

Maryland is, of course, very well known for horse racing betting as the host of the Preakness, one leg of the Triple Crown. There are nine tracks in the state including Pimlico as well as many OTB’s which offer simulcasting of races from around the world. Online horse race wagering is also legal and players can use several sites such as TwinSpires and TVG.
