Bill Summary
Requiring, rather than authorizing, certain sports wagering licensees and sports wagering operators that advertise in the State to contract with certain independent evaluators to evaluate and rate the sports wagering licensee's sports wagering content, sports wagering experts, sports wagering influencers, and content partners.
AI Summary
This bill changes Maryland's sports wagering regulations by changing the language from "may" to "SHALL" require sports wagering licensees and operators who advertise in the state to contract with independent evaluators. Specifically, these licensees will now be mandated to hire a licensed independent evaluator to review and rate their sports wagering content, experts, influencers, and content partners. This means sports betting companies operating in Maryland will no longer have the option to voluntarily engage such evaluators, but will be legally required to do so, potentially to increase transparency and accountability in sports betting advertising. The bill is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, giving sports wagering businesses time to prepare for and implement these new evaluation requirements.
