The launch of sports betting in Maine is likely to be delayed until late 2023 or early next year.
Milton Champion, executive director of Maine’s Gambling Control Unit, announced the first proposal of betting rules in January, and the time period for public comment on the proposal ended last week.
Champion said he and his staff are in the process of going over 581 comments before they can release the next version of the rules proposal, with the hope of making that announcement in May.
“We’ll look at each one of the comments. We’ll either accept the comment or reject it and the reasons why,” Champion said Friday.
