Maryland sports enthusiasts received a new betting option this week as Bet365 officially launched its sportsbook operations in the state on Labor Day 2025. The timing couldn't be better for local fans, with the Baltimore Ravens preparing to face the Buffalo Bills in a highly anticipated Sunday Night Football matchup on September 7.
"This launch represents our 15th state in the U.S. market, and we're thrilled to bring Maryland fans our full menu of betting markets just in time for the exciting sports calendar ahead," – a representative from Bet365 stated.
The platform's arrival coincides with a packed sports schedule for Maryland teams. The Baltimore Orioles will battle the San Diego Padres on the road (September 1-3) before returning home to host the Los Angeles Dodgers at Camden Yards (September 5-7). Meanwhile, Maryland Terrapins football will take on Northern Illinois in Week 3 college action on September 5.
Local bettors signing up with the platform can access markets for all these events, with the Ravens' primetime clash against the Bills likely to draw particular interest. The NFL showdown features two AFC contenders expected to compete for playoff positioning this season.
Interestingly, Maryland becomes the latest state to expand its regulated sports betting market, joining 14 other states where the platform operates. The Maryland Gaming Commission requires strict compliance with regulations including age verification (21+), geolocation checks, and responsible gambling tools.
The sportsbook's entry into Maryland adds another option for local fans who previously had limited legal betting choices. Do the Ravens have what it takes to defeat Josh Allen and the Bills? Maryland bettors can now legally put their money where their predictions are.
