Preparations for the launch of Maine’s first sports betting operations are expected to accelerate now that the Office of the Maine Attorney General has begun a final review of the state’s rules for the new industry.
The chairman of the Gambling Control Board expects to receive license applications from vendors in the coming weeks or months so the operators will be ready to go live this fall.
The rule-making process that began shortly after Gov. Janet Mills signed the law legalizing sports betting in May 2022 is now over. State officials announced Monday that Maine’s sports betting rules have been sent to the attorney general’s office for final review.
