Gambling licensing in United States — Maryland
Maryland legalised sports betting by referendum in 2020 and mobile betting launched on 23 November 2022. The agency's list, updated 14 September 2026, names each Class M mobile licensee; brand names for most are from my own knowledge of their partners, so need checking. Closed and withdrawn licences are left out. Online casino is not legal.
