Maryland SB761 proposes to authorize Internet gaming in the state, subject to voter approval in a November 2026 referendum.

Maryland SB761 seeks to expand commercial gaming by allowing Internet gaming, contingent on voter approval in a November 2026 referendum. If approved, the State Lottery and Gaming Control Commission would issue licenses to eligible applicants. The state's share of Internet gaming revenues would fund public education. The bill also mandates that any implementing legislation include criteria for licensee eligibility and permissible forms of Internet gaming. If the referendum fails, the bill becomes null and void.
