According to Maryland Lottery and Gaming, Maryland bettors wagered $736.6 million in October 2025, setting a new record and extending the state’s streak of steady growth across both mobile and retail sports betting.

Players won back $663.9 million, resulting in a statewide hold of 9.9 percent and $70.8 million in taxable winnings. State contributions totaled $14.1 million, including $10.6 million for the Blueprint for Maryland’s Future Fund and $3.46 million for the General Fund.

Online wagering continued to dominate, accounting for $723.3 million of the total handle, or about 98 percent. Retail wagering added $13.3 million. A new retail sportsbook opened in late October in Baltimore County, bringing the statewide total to 13 in-person locations alongside 12 mobile platforms.

Through the first four months of fiscal 2026, sports betting has generated $43.9 million for the State. Since legalization in December 2021, cumulative contributions have reached $210.5 million for the Blueprint Fund, $10.7 million for the General Fund, and nearly $5 million for the Problem Gambling Fund.

In 2020, Maryland voters approved a constitutional amendment to expand commercial gaming by authorizing sports and events wagering to raise revenue for education.
