This is the latest gambling news pertaining to the great state of Maryland.

Maryland Considers Online Casinos

BALTIMORE, MD (Gambling911.com) - 2024 may be the year we see more states opening up to internet casinos. Maryland is among those at the forefront it seems.

Updated Maryland iGaming bill raises the tax rate and licensing fee. The proposal released prior to Maryland legislative session sets tax at 46 percent, up from 15 percent. License fee set at $1m, with two skins allowed for each casino.

The Maryland Gaming Control Agency suggests the state could generate over $533 million in revenue in the very first year after legalizing online gambling.

This is no easy task. Bill 267 must pass both houses of the Maryland legislature. A simple majority of voters would then have to approve the launch of online gambling, which would not happen until at least June 2025.

It's interesting to note that Maryland’s six casinos saw a decline of 24.9% in October compared to the same month last year.
