Maryland lawmakers question bill mandating sports betting content audits
Maryland lawmakers questioned House Bill 1291, which would require licensed sports betting operators to have their in-house and affiliate content audited by approved independent evaluators. At a 29 February hearing, legislators raised concerns about its scope, costs and whether it could favour SharpRank, which was still seeking approval to evaluate content in the state.
The proposed audits could add costs for Maryland operators, while lawmakers question the bill’s scope and potential competitive effects.
