Bill > SB1033

This bill repeals online sports wagering in Maryland beginning January 1, 2026, effectively eliminating mobile sports betting in the state. The legislation removes existing provisions related to mobile and online sports wagering licenses, including provisions for licensing, application fees, and operational requirements. Specifically, the bill requires the State Lottery and Gaming Control Commission to refund application fees to mobile sports wagering license applicants with pending applications after July 1, 2025, or to license holders who surrender their licenses before accepting any wagers. The bill maintains in-person sports wagering at certain locations like video lottery facilities, racetracks, and stadiums, but eliminates the ability to place online or mobile sports bets. The legislation also makes various technical changes to renumber and reorganize existing legal sections related to sports wagering. The repeal of mobile sports wagering will take effect on January 1, 2026, while other provisions of the bill will take effect on July 1, 2025.
