When will DraftKings Sportsbook launch in Maryland?

Look down, either to the left or right, depending on where you placed your beverage on the flat side of your desk. If you see the liquid bouncing in a near-Jurassic Park-esque manner, that could only mean one thing …

The sports betting giant known as DraftKings Sportsbook is coming to Maryland on Wednesday, Nov. 23, 2022, the day prior to Thanksgiving. 

Now, although DraftKings Maryland Sportsbook is undoubtedly set to become a reality extremely soon, Maryland online sports bettors chomping at the bit to get in on the action should waste no time in taking advantage of the acclaimed operator’s $200 pre-launch bonus right now:

 

Preregistering with DraftKings Sportsbook allows the legal Maryland sports gambler to jump on the competition with $200 in free bets while also not preventing any future opportunities to come to fruition. In other words, by no means will signing up early hurt your chances of taking advantage of DraftKings Maryland’s standard new-user promo that’s expected to drop once the state officially launches the legal sports wagering party.

OK, so now that you’ve signed up early and have gotten over the anxiety that is an earthquake-like vibration of an impending monster (on second thought, don’t look at the water), let’s break down when Maryland online sports bettors can expect DraftKings Sportsbook to be fully available in Maryland.

 

DraftKings Maryland Sportsbook is expected to launch on Nov. 23, 2022

Similar to the greenlight day for the state of Maryland, DraftKings Sportsbook is expected to waste no time once the proper time comes. DraftKings Maryland Sportsbook will be available for use on the state’s first day legal online sports betting is live, Nov. 23, 2022, a day prior to Thanksgiving. 

This means Maryland sports gamblers can download the mobile app and preregister with DraftKings Sportsbook now, snag that $200 pre-launch bonus, only to then bet on NFL Thanksgiving Day games once Nov. 23, 2022, hits our calendars.

This procedure should unfold while those who preregister can still take advantage of DraftKings Sportsbook’s expected $1,050 signup bonus for new users once Maryland officially launches live and legal online sports betting.

There’s no doubt that it’s been a long and winding road for Maryland online sports bettors. At one point, they thought legal sports betting would become fully operational in the Fall of 2021.

It did not happen.

Once the winter passed, and once the Spring and Summer of 2022 came and went, even experts in the industry were left scratching their heads in full astonishment. What in the world is going on with Maryland?

For the majority of this baffling and frustrating time, Maryland online sports betting had technically been legal. In fact, the state’s retail operation is fully legal, as a handful of brick-and-mortar locations are accepting legal online sports bets.

However, the wait for the full force of operational and legal online sports betting has evaded residents until now.

DraftKings Maryland Sportsbook mobile app review

First and foremost, there’s a very good reason that DraftKings Sportsbook is Crossing Broad’s preferred online sports betting app. The tech is evident and the features are many—to the point that both novice and diehard online sports gamblers have both fallen in love with the mobile app.

DraftKings Sportsbook is consistently rated with high marks on both the App Store (iOS) and Google Play (Android), and, of course, placing online bets from the actual website (desktop) is also an extremely rewarding experience.

Moreover, DraftKings’ odds and available sports categories rank right up there with the best in the industry. The online sports gambling pundit would be hard-pressed to find another operator that could even dream about touching the mountaintop DraftKings Sportsbook currently stands.

If that was not enough, DraftKings Sportsbook’s ease of use as it pertains to the mobile cashier end of the process is downright commendable. Accepting numerous forms of withdrawal options and offering a multitude of withdrawal options make this sportsbook top rate.

 

DraftKings Maryland Sportsbook retail partner

DraftKings Sportsbook partnered with Crown Maryland Gaming en route to getting a foot in the door.

In the Summer of 2022, the Maryland Lottery and Gaming Control Commission voted unanimously (6-0, with one abstention) to award a license to Crown Maryland Gaming. This means that DraftKings Sportsbook is heading to the state fairgrounds via its retail operation within the state of Maryland.

DraftKings Maryland Sportsbook competition

The reason DraftKings Sportsbook is so thunderously applauded is not just due to its own merits, but it’s also due to the rabid competition it faces on a daily basis. Thanks to the very real nature of Maryland’s sports betting potential, DraftKings Sportsbook is excepted to see vicious competition in the space.

Naturally, some of the big names are set to also launch on day No. 1 and compete with the green and white-colored book from the jump.

Caesars Maryland Sportsbook

Caesars Maryland Sportsbook preregistration bettors can receive $100 in free bets by depositing only $20. The Emperor’s Sportsbook is Crossing Broad’s No. 2 sports-betting app of choice, right behind DraftKings.

FanDuel Maryland Sportsbook

FanDuel Maryland Sportsbook is set to launch in the state once it officially goes live the day prior to Thanksgiving. Until that day comes, however, a $100 pre-launch bonus in the form of signing up early is what all interested Maryland online sports gamblers should take action on right this moment.

Barstool Maryland Sportsbook

Don’t be fooled by the fact that Barstool Maryland Sportsbook is currently not offering a preregistration bonus for the good people of the Old Line State. The disruptors of the online sports gambling industry represent fierce competition for DraftKings.

BetMGM Maryland Sportsbook

The MGM brand is one that households could never let slip the powerful human mind, and for that reason, BetMGM Maryland Sportsbook will become available once the state goes live. Interested users can unlock $200 in free bets by simply signing up prior to the go-live date of Nov. 23, 2022.

PointsBet Maryland Sportsbook

PointsBet Maryland Sportsbook is another sports-betting app expected to hit the market in swift fashion—which is something DraftKings undoubtedly knows. Users can snag $200 right now through a PointsBet pre-launch bonus that’s currently running.
