Maryland currently lists 12 licensed online sportsbooks and 12 registered online fantasy operators. Maryland Lottery and Gaming says these are the state’s only legal real-money online options: online casino and poker remain unauthorized, while fantasy registration does not permit single-team or single-athlete event props that Maryland classifies as sports wagering.

Registered fantasy operators may not offer contests whose winning outcome is based on one team, a combination of teams or one athlete’s performance in a single real event. Maryland treats those parlays and propositions as sports wagering.

The published cease-and-desist library is expressly non-comprehensive. Maryland says only operators on its licensed sportsbook or registered fantasy lists should be considered to be conducting legal online gaming activity.
