Legal online sports betting is on the way to Maryland and FanDuel is ready to get the party started. Persons without a FanDuel Sportsbook account are invited to sign up now to receive $100 in free bets once betting begins in the “Old Line State”. That’s right, our FanDuel Maryland Pre-Launch offer is live.
When it comes to sports betting promotions, it doesn’t get any better than free bets and this no-deposit bonus is a no-brainer. All you need to do is sign up and wait for FanDuel to launch in Maryland later this year… that’s it. Participants will have $100 in free bet credits waiting in their account once FanDuel MD hits the market.
FanDuel Sportsbook MD Pre-Launch Bonus Explained
The FanDuel Sportsbook Maryland Pre-Launch offer awards $100 in free bets to all new bettors who create their FanDuel account prior to market launch. We’re currently forecasting late November or December as “go-time”. So if you create your account now, you’ve got $100 in free bets coming your way later. Here’s how its done:
- Follow this link and begin creating your FanDuel Sportsbook MD account.
- Provide the requested information and complete the account creation process for FanDuel MD.
- … now you just wait. As soon as FanDuel is given the go-ahead by the proper authorities, they will launch in Maryland and you will have $100 in free bets to enjoy.
- Claiming this $100 FanDuel Maryland pre-launch offer does not exclude you from taking advantage of another FanDuel Sportsbook bonus. Again, it does NOT. This means you can still secure a Maryland sports betting new customer welcome offer with FanDuel at a later time.
- No FanDuel Sportsbook promo code is required for this pre-launch offer.
Generally speaking, there’s no reason not to claim this $100 free for sports betting in Maryland.
Sports Betting Launch Day in Maryland
So when will online sports betting officially take flight in Maryland? We don’t have a firm launch date confirmed yet but the signs are pointing to a potential late November or December debut. The Maryland Lottery, who has been tasked with regulating sports betting in Maryland, is still in the process of evaluating potential licensees. Once they’re ready to move forward, we’ll have a much more refined timeline.
The Maryland SWARC (Sports Wagering Application Review Commission) has a meeting on the books for November 21st. It is believed that at this meeting they will be finalizing the initial wave of qualified sports betting applicants, and the subsequent launch of online sports betting could follow quickly thereafter.
We will keep you updated as more information about the Maryland sports betting launch is made available.
Maryland Sports Betting Details
- No universal launch date has been set. Stay Tuned.
- Retail sports betting began in December 2021, but online betting has yet to start.
- Maryland’s sports betting law has carved out enough space for as many as 60 online sports betting companies… this could get crowded.
- Maryland professional sports teams can get involved. The Ravens, Commanders, and Orioles are all eligible to partner with online brands and open sportsbooks on-site at their stadiums.
- The Maryland sports betting tax rate has been set at 15%. This is a reasonable number that we believe will promote a healthy betting market in the state.
FanDuel Partners with Live! Casino & Hotel Maryland
FanDuel has locked in its participation for Maryland sports betting by partnering with the Live! Casino in Hanover. The Cordish Companies, owner of Maryland Live!, have a long standing relationship with FanDuel creating a match made in MD sports betting heaven. The agreement not only covers online sports betting for the state, but also retail betting.
FanDuel Retail Sportsbook at Maryland Live!
After signing up for the FanDuel MD $100 pre-launch offer, head to Live! Casino and place bets in-person! The FanDuel Sportsbook at the Live! Casino MD is one of the best locations to bet on sports in the state. It features 40 televisions, more or less guaranteeing that anything you want to bet on will be shown live. There are also luxurious seats galore and a full drink menu on tap.
The FanDuel MD retail book first opened in December 2021 and is now open 7 days a week:
- M-F: 11am – 12am
- Sa/Sun: 9am – 12am
Plus, if needed, they also have state-of-the-art FanDuel betting kiosks that are available 24/7.
No Longer A Sports Betting Island
No, Maryland isn’t an island – but for a time it was a sports betting island. Situated smack-dab in the middle of a handful of states with legal, full-mobile online sports betting – Marylanders were left in the dark. Neighboring Virginia, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Delaware, and even Washington DC have all benefited from having legal betting.
Moving forward residents and visitors of Maryland will be able to bet from the FanDuel Sportsbook MD mobile app from anywhere in the state. Maryland: FanDuel Sportsbook is coming soon.
