Internet Gambling Doesn't Make Maryland Ballot Initiative

Sunday September 5, 2026 (9:31pm EDT)

Maryland voters in November will get to decide how congressional districts can be drawn, but they again will not be asked to decide about an expansion of online gaming.  Maryland residents can walk into a licensed retail sportsbook or one of the state’s commercial casinos. They cannot, at the moment, legally play online casino games for real money anywhere in the state.
