Maryland<\/a> sports betting dates all the way back to December 2021, when the first retail sportsbooks were able to go live. This gave bettors in the state a chance to make some bets, but most people have been waiting for the launch of online sports betting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The wait is now over, as there were seven online sportsbooks that went live on November 23. Launching prior to the Thanksgiving weekend was a strategic move by the Maryland Lottery, and it is one that has led to some impressive results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n According to GeoComply, there were over 16.5 million unique transactions recorded at online sportsbooks in Maryland from November 23-27. Other figures have not been announced by the state, but this amount of transactions is going to lead to some business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There are actually a couple of other online sportsbooks<\/a> that are not planning to launch until 2023 despite having a license. Seven of the biggest names in the industry are currently available, and they also come with some major promotions and bonuses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When comparing the Maryland sports betting market to some of the other states of a similar size from November 23-27, it is important to remember that states always tend to do better during the first week, and then things cool off.<\/p>\n\n\n\nMaryland Competing With Big Markets<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
