The market
Maryland brought online betting live in November 2022, almost a year after its first retail sportsbooks opened. A 20% online tax, raised from 15% in July 2025, still leaves a competitive market. Operators run regular promotions across the calendar.
What this means for matched betting
Maryland runs a competitive field at a 20% online tax, with promotions spread across the calendar rather than concentrated in one season. Operator choice is wide enough that covering an offer is straightforward.
Figures are indicative and can change as markets evolve. Always confirm current rules, tax and the legal age with the MLGCA before you bet.
