Fantasy Competitions - Alterations and Voluntary Exclusion Requirements

Summary

The bill revises Maryland’s definition of a fantasy competition, requires the State Lottery and Gaming Control Commission to charge operators $50,000 each year to register, and obligates the Commission to run a voluntary exclusion list. Operators may not let excluded individuals open accounts or receive prizes, and any forfeited prizes go to the state’s problem‑gambling fund. The changes aim to strengthen consumer protection and fund gambling‑addiction services.
