Summary

The bill mandates that any sports wagering licensee or operator advertising in Maryland must contract with a state‑licensed independent evaluator to assess and rate its betting content, experts, influencers, and partners. This requirement only becomes active once the Lottery and Gaming Control Commission has approved at least three independent evaluators. It is intended to improve oversight and consumer protection in the state’s sports betting market.
