Maryland’s legal-online directory lists 12 sportsbook brands and 11 registered fantasy operators. Its licence table, updated 14 September 2026, records Crab Sports closed on 20 July 2026, so the 12-name HTML list is not a count of active apps. Maryland Lottery and Gaming says licensed sports wagering and registered fantasy are the only legal real-money online options; online casino and poker remain unauthorized. Fantasy registration does not authorize single-team or single-athlete event propositions.

Exact legal-operator test
Match the exact brand and regulator-published domain against Maryland’s Legal vs. Illegal Online Gaming page, then check the dated licence table for closures and operator partnerships. The HTML directory still has 12 sportsbook names and 11 fantasy names, but retains Crab Sports despite its recorded 20 July 2026 closure.

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.

The licence table updated 14 September 2026 lists Crab Sports Inc. with Date Closed 20 July 2026. The legal-online HTML directory still lists the brand. Atlas preserves the discrepancy and blocks any inference of current availability; the sources do not establish licence revocation.
