Legal Overview

Maryland legalized online sports betting in 2021. No licensed online casinos. Sweepstakes casinos currently operate legally, though ban legislation was considered.

Online Casino Legal Status in Maryland

Maryland licenses six commercial casinos — MGM National Harbor, Live! Casino & Hotel, Horseshoe Baltimore, Ocean Downs Casino, Hollywood Casino Perryville, and Rocky Gap Casino — under the Maryland Lottery and Gaming Control Agency (mdgaming.com). However, online casino gambling (licensed real-money slots and table games via internet operators) is not currently authorized.

In Maryland's 2025 legislative session, HB 1319 and SB 603 proposed authorizing online casino gaming through licensed operators. Neither bill passed. Maryland's casino industry and tax revenue analysts have continued to advocate for online casino expansion — it remains one of the more actively discussed items in the state's gaming policy landscape.

Sports Betting in Maryland

Maryland legalized sports betting via HB 940, signed by Governor Larry Hogan in November 2021. Retail sports betting launched December 9, 2021 at licensed casinos and venues. Mobile sports betting launched November 23, 2022 — a 13-month gap between retail and mobile due to implementation timelines. Licensed mobile operators include FanDuel, DraftKings, BetMGM, Caesars, and others regulated by the Maryland Lottery and Gaming Control Agency. The minimum age is 21+.

Sweepstakes Casinos in Maryland — Monitor for Legislative Changes

Maryland has not enacted a ban on sweepstakes casino platforms, and sites like Stake.us, Pulsz, and Zula Casino are accessible to Maryland residents. However, Maryland has seen sweepstakes restriction legislation introduced in recent sessions — HB 1354 / SB 1063 in the 2024 session proposed prohibiting sweepstakes casino sites. As of this writing, no such ban has been enacted.

Maryland is one of the states where the sweepstakes casino regulatory status bears watching. If significant time has passed since this page was last updated, check whether your preferred sweepstakes platform is still active in Maryland before depositing.

Maryland Lottery and Gaming Control Agency

The MLGCA (mdgaming.com) regulates all commercial casino gaming, sports betting, and the state lottery. Maryland gaming tax revenue is directed primarily to public education funds. Maryland's proximity to Washington, D.C., and its six licensed commercial casinos make it one of the more developed gaming markets in the mid-Atlantic. Players can verify operator licensing and file complaints directly through the MLGCA.
