Wagering through sports betting apps and at retail sportsbooks in Maryland fell to $254.5 million in June, a drop of 20.5% from May.
BetMaryland.com said the drop is likely seasonal, based on annual trends in states where sports betting has been legal longer, and year-over-year comparisons are a better gauge of sports betting.
The first retail sportsbook opened in Maryland in December 2021, but legal sports betting apps did not launch until November of last year, making year-over-year comparisons difficult.
The majority of sports wagering in Maryland is through apps, with mobile sports betting falling 20% from May to $243.8 million. Sports betting at retail locations was down almost 30% from May, totaling $10.7 million.
