With the first 7 sportsbook apps going live on November 23, Maryland's long-awaited sports betting launch is finally here. On Monday, Maryland regulators tested each of the 7 betting apps before giving them the final approval to launch today.
Here is a look at the list of betting apps officially available in Maryland today:
- Barstool Sportsbook
- BetMGM
- BetRivers
- Caesars Sportsbook
- DraftKings
- FanDuel
- PointsBet
In addition to the 7 operators listed above, the state's Sports Wagering Application Review Commission awarded licenses to Betfred, betPARX, and BetFanatics. However, these three apps will not be ready to launch in November.
Exclusive Bonus Offers Available for Maryland Launch
As is typically the case when sports betting launches in a new market, Maryland bettors will have access to exclusive promotions that are not available in any other betting market.
Some of the noteworthy offers include a $200 DraftKings bonus and $100 Caesars bonus. Both of these offers are a drastic improvement over what is available in other U.S. states.
These promotions are available in addition to any pre-registration bonus offers that bettors in the state were able to capitalize on. This means that new players at several of these sportsbooks will find up to $400 in free bets in the app when they open it for the first time.
MD Betting Launches Just in Time for Thanksgiving
It is no coincidence that sports betting is launching before Thursday's Thanksgiving Day NFL games. The state expects to see a massive week of betting action with a loaded slate of Thanksgiving Day games.
Additionally, Maryland bettors can look forward to a college football slate that includes Michigan at Ohio State on Saturday. Between the various bonus offers available and the loaded sports schedule, Maryland bettors have plenty to be thankful for this week!
