The market
Maryland's online betting went live in November 2022, almost a year after its first retail sportsbooks opened. Online operators pay 20%, up from 15% in July 2025, and the market is still competitive, with promotions across the calendar.
What this means for matched betting
Maryland runs a competitive field at a 20% online tax, with promotions spread through the year instead of bunched into one season. There's enough operator choice that covering an offer is straightforward.
