The Maryland Sports Wagering Application Review Commission unanimously approved a policy amendment Friday that requires companies awarded a mobile betting license in Maryland to then submit a diversity plan.
The plan, submitted to the commission known as SWARC within 30 days after licensure approval, should include strategies to obtain a diverse group of owners or contractors, conduct diversity-related events and proposed timelines and benchmarks to achieve diversity objectives.
An applicant must also check “yes” to three boxes that summarizes it will make a “good faith effort” to meet the diversity objectives, report diversity metrics to the Maryland Lottery and Gaming Control Commission and make its diversity plan available to the public.
