Maryland regulators have taken action against Virtual Gaming Worlds for operating unlicensed online sweepstakes casino websites. The Maryland Lottery and Gaming Control Agency issued a cease and desist letter demanding the company cease operations and provide confirmation by March 27. Officials clarified that the only legal online gaming includes mobile sports wagering and fantasy contests, and warned against unauthorized casino operations. This push against illegal gaming aims to open the market for regulated operators, as discussed by Sen. Ron Watson, who sees potential in legalizing iGaming in Maryland.
The only online gaming permitted in Maryland is mobile/online sports wagering and online fantasy competitions. Online casino gaming is not permitted in Maryland.
The intent of this bill is to acknowledge and put a halt to the amount of illegal gaming going on.
