bet365 has launched in its 15th US state after securing licence approval from the Maryland Lottery and Gaming Control Commission (MLGCC).
The licence approval follows a successful controlled demonstration of bet365’s mobile platform, which is now available to players in Maryland through a partnership with the Riverboat on the Potomac.
The Riverboat on the Potomac is also partnered with Fanatics for sports betting.
The launch of bet365 in Maryland takes the total number of licensed online sportsbooks to 12, alongside 13 retail sportsbooks in the state.
In July, Maryland’s sports handle grew by 9 per cent year-on-year to $364.1 million, driven by strong growth at DraftKings, BetMGM and Fanatics.
