Source: Maryland Lottery and Gaming (MD)

Maryland’s Lottery and Gaming Control Commission determined on 16 December 2021 that Greenmount Station met the qualification requirements for a sports wagering licence. Its application will go to the Sports Wagering Application Review Commission, which awards licences; Maryland Lottery and Gaming said it would work with the venue’s operator partner and staff on licensing preparations ahead of a planned early 2022 opening.

Greenmount Station cannot begin sports wagering until SWARC awards its licence, making licensing preparations important.
