After obtaining a mobile sports wagering license from the Maryland Lottery and Gaming Control Commission (MLGCC), Bally Bet Sportsbook is now live to wager on for sports bettors 21 years or older who are physically present in the Old Line State.
Bally’s previously ran a controlled demonstration of the book to MLGCC representatives, which included bringing in select customers to participate in its live in-game betting market to confirm it met the Maryland sports betting compliance requirements while also offering a high-quality operating system via its mobile sportsbook app.
Maryland is the ninth state where Bally Bet Sportsbook is accessible and licensed to operate. Sports bettors who register a new account with the book qualify for its promotional welcome bonus, which is a Bet $50, Get $150 in bonus bets offer.
New Bally Bet Sportsbook Maryland customers must place a qualifying cash wager of at least $50 on any available online sports betting market, with minimum odds of -120 or greater (-110, +100, etc.) to receive $150 in bonus bets, win or lose, once their qualifying wager settles.
