Summary
The bill directs the Maryland State Lottery and Gaming Control Commission to adopt rules on extending credit to video‑lottery players, create a central list of such players, and raise the maximum civil penalty to $50,000 per day. It also lowers the fantasy‑competition operator share to 84%, caps individual sports wagers at $100,000, and bans credit‑card payments for online sports betting. These changes aim to strengthen consumer protection, curb problem gambling, and adjust how gambling revenues are allocated.
