Gaming - Prohibition on Interactive Games and Revenue From Illegal Markets

Summary

The bill makes it illegal for anyone to run, conduct, or promote internet‑based casino, lottery or sports‑betting games in Maryland. It also requires gaming license applicants and holders to report annually any relationships with financial or technology partners that support such games, and to disclose any revenue received from jurisdictions where these games are prohibited. Violations are misdemeanors punishable by up to three years in prison and fines, and the state gaming commission can deny or revoke licenses.
