DraftKings took its first official step into entering the Maryland sports betting market.
The Maryland Lottery and Gaming Control Agency (MLGCA) approved DraftKings’ sports betting facility license application to operate a sportsbook underneath the grandstand at Timonium Racetrack at the Maryland State Fairgrounds. The approved application will now be sent to the Sports Wagering Application Review Commission (SWARC) for approval.
If approved by SWARC, DraftKings’ application will return to the MLGCA for final approval.
The Timonium Racetrack is part of the Maryland State Fair and Agricultural Society. It currently serves as an off-track betting and simulcast center at the fairgrounds.
