![]() ![]() Sports betting companies handled more than $328 million in wagers in Maryland in April. New York-based FanDuel Group, which operates another prominent sportsbook licensed in Maryland, declined to comment, according to spokesman Chris Jones. It receives 15% of sports betting proceeds - amounting to $3.9 million in April, the latest month for which figures are available - to help fund public schools. The state has a stake in the sportsbooks’ success. But the agency’s director, John Martin, told The Sun it seeks a balance under which sportsbooks can prosper amid a fair climate for bettors. The spreadsheet did not contain the state’s reasons for denying the two requests. With the exception of the DraftKings request, the agency says it considers the requests to be from the group as a whole, and there is no indication which company may have initiated any particular recommendation. This year’s proposals began arriving in March, and the agency responded in May. The agency annually invites gambling establishments to propose changes to regulations they believe are unnecessary or should be revised. Both proposals are among those listed on an undated spreadsheet titled “Collective Regulation Change Requests” that summarizes suggestions the Maryland Lottery and Gaming Control Agency received from licensed operators and sports betting equipment suppliers. ![]()
