Bally’s Launches Mobile Sports Wagering Operations

BALTIMORE  The Maryland Lottery and Gaming Control Commission (MLGCC) today issued a mobile sports wagering license to Bally’s Interactive Maryland, LLC (Bally’s).

On July 25, Bally’s successfully completed a controlled demonstration of its mobile wagering platform (Bally Bet Sportsbook). Customers participated in live wagering as Maryland Lottery and Gaming staff ensured that the sportsbook complied with all required procedures and that its systems functioned properly.

During Fiscal Year 2024 (July 2023 through June 2024), sports wagering contributed more than $60.3 million to the Blueprint for Maryland’s Future Fund, which supports public education programs. An additional $985,862 in expired sports wagering prizes were paid to the Maryland Problem Gambling Fund, which supports responsible gambling programs, including no-cost counseling for Maryland residents. Maryland Lottery and Gaming reports sports wagering revenue figures on 10th of each month. The reports are available online at mdgaming.com.
