Until online casinos become legal, people residing in or visiting Maryland can play just for fun at one of the state’s Social/Sweeps Casinos to win real cash prizes. With states like Delaware, New Jersey, and Virginia as neighbors, the good people of Maryland have had the best seats in the house to see the positive effects of how online gambling sites can work and be beneficial to the state’s fiscal bottom line.
As of April 2021, online sports betting has become legalized and will be (fingers crossed) ready to go for the start of the NFL season, which could be an early indication that Maryland is making strides to legalize online gambling as well. But, like many states, Maryland is trying their darndest to change this law.
Gambling at a land-based casino is legal in Maryland.
