Maine regulator targets online casino rulemaking ahead of possible 2027 launch
Maine Gambling Control Unit Director Milt Champion told a legislative committee he hopes the state can launch online casinos by the beginning of 2027. He said he plans to hire staff for rulemaking once the law takes effect in July, and noted that sports betting took 18 months to launch after the governor signed its bill in May 2022.
Operators and suppliers can use the regulator’s tentative timeline to inform planning for a possible Maine online casino market.
