The law in Maryland, in plain English

Maryland's online sportsbooks launched in November 2022 under the Maryland Lottery and Gaming Control Agency, and Terrapins fans can use every major app.

Maryland ordered Kalshi to stop offering sports contracts in 2025, a federal judge declined to block the state, and Kalshi's appeal is pending at the Fourth Circuit. Polymarket US does not currently serve Maryland. Novig is available in the state, so the comparison on this site includes it.
