Maryland Lottery and Gaming backs bills targeting sweepstakes casinos
Maryland Lottery and Gaming is backing bills HB 295 and SB 112 that would restrict sweepstakes-style interactive gaming in Maryland. The proposals would require certain licence applicants and licensees to disclose business ties and would direct the regulator to deny or revoke licences in specified circumstances, including links to revenue from certain jurisdictions.
The bills could affect licence eligibility and operations for gaming businesses with ties to sweepstakes-style platforms.
