Maryland mobile sports betting is off to a great start.
According to GeoComply, a geolocation and fraud specialist company, Maryland online sports betting experienced 16.5 million geolocation transactions over the course of the U.S. Thanksgiving holiday from Nov. 23 through Nov. 27.
By comparison, during the same time period Virginia experienced 8.5 million geolocation transactions, Indiana reported 6.7 million, Tennessee 6.6 million, and Colorado 3.8 million.
New Jersey, which has a much higher population than Maryland, also reported 17.1 million geolocation transactions over the holiday weekend.
“A strong start for the regulated market delivers on the promise of new revenues and consumer protections. Marylanders will continue to ditch illegal offshore sportsbooks for the security of legal, regulated operators that provide player safeguards and tax dollars for the state, just as lawmakers intended,” GeoComply SVP Compliance Lindsay Slader said in a release.
