Maine Sports Betting Is Up and Running
Governor Janet Mills signed Maine’s sports betting legislation in the spring of 2022. The law took effect on Aug. 2, 2022, kickstarting the regulatory and licensing phase. On Nov. 3, 2023, the Maine Gambling Control Unit officially launched sports betting in the state.
DraftKings and Caesars are the first two sportsbooks to go live in Maine. The state allows two additional online sports betting licenses.
