Online Maryland sports betting is still a ways off, but two more retail sportsbooks are on their way.
The Maryland Lottery and Gaming Control Commission qualified two sports wagering facility licenses at its meeting Wednesday, including one for the Washington Commanders’ FedEx Field. There are six retail sportsbooks open for MD sports betting, with another five in the pipeline.
The two qualified facility licenses head to the Sports Wagering Application Review Commission, which can award the licenses. The SWARC meets again August 17.
At Wednesday’s meeting, the MLGCC also qualified Betfred for a sports wagering facility operator license, which does not need SWARC approval.
