Recent Gambling Regulations in Maryland
The stringent US gambling laws regulating online gambling are actively getting revised in most American states. Sports betting industry is a front runner in this trend, and soon, residents of Maryland could enjoy better local betting options. Lawmakers’ stance on online casinos has softened in recent years. Part of the factors contributing to this reconsideration is the tremendous potential of online casinos to stimulate the economy even under recession.
Recently, the issuance of gambling licenses to in-person and online betting has been a major motion in Maryland’s legislative process.
During last fall’s general elections, voters massively supported sports betting legalization. Now, it is up to the government to decide on how best to kick-start the industry. However, the House of Delegates and State Senate have conflicting views on how best to number licenses issued to such operators.
