Maryland Could Now Launch Online Sports Betting in 2022

Online sports betting could become a reality in 2022 in Maryland. The Sports Wagering Application Review Commission (SWARC) gave the green light for the rolling approval of online licenses.

Maryland could launch online sports betting in 2022. There are 60 online betting licenses and 30 retail licenses up for grabs. The SWARC has begun the online sport betting license application process.

Maryland legalized sports betting in November 2020 and the law was signed into law in May 2021. There are six retail sportsbooks operating at casinos and a couple of other locations are still awaiting approval for a retail license. Major sportsbetting operators FanDuel, DraftKings, Caesars, BetMGM, and Barstool are expected to pursue online licenses.
