Maryland commission opens eLicensing applications for 17 sports wagering entities

The Maryland Lottery and Gaming Control Commission opened its eLicensing platform to 17 entities named in the state’s sports wagering law on 14 September 2021. Applicants must undergo criminal and financial investigations; the commission may issue interim licences under alternative standards, subject to its own investigations and possible revocation if disqualifying factors emerge. Director John Martin said some locations might begin taking wagers in late autumn or early winter.
