Even Maryland’s Sports Wagering Application Review Commission is growing tired of the wait for a legalized mobile sports betting launch. SWARC Chairman Thomas Brandt sent the Joint Committee on Administrative, Executive, and Legislative Review a letter Friday urging the group of lawmakers to work swiftly to approve the SWARC’s emergency regulations.

Approval from the AELR is critical for the SWARC to move forward with the process of awarding mobile sports betting licenses. The SWARC sent emergency regulations to the legislative committee over a month ago.

“SWARC approved its proposed regulations last month and submitted them for consideration by AELR on July 22, 2022,” Brandt said in his letter.
