Share

After getting a license from the Maryland Lottery and Gaming Control Commission, Crab Sports, an appropriately called online sportsbook, has begun operating in Maryland. Crab Sports became the eleventh online sportsbook to join the Maryland market after a successful controlled demonstration of its online sports gambling platform on July 10. Crab Sports then got its online sports wagering license from the MLGCC.

A Focus on the Local Market

The start-up company Crab Sports, a privately held Delaware firm founded in October 2021, is devoted only to the Maryland sports betting industry. Crab Sports intends to develop a significant footprint by creating performance-driven collaborations with nearby Maryland companies since its application emphasizes the value of local involvement.

Joining the Ranks of Maryland’s Online Sportsbooks

The Maryland Sports Wagering Application Review Commission (SWARC) granted Crab Sports its online sports betting operator license in February. At 8 a.m. this morning, the newest provider of online sports betting began offering its services.

Crab Sports joins an existing lineup of ten online sportsbook operators in Maryland. The other operators include:

  • Barstool Sportsbook (operator for PENN Maryland/Hollywood Casino in Perryville)
  • Betfred Sportsbook (operator for Long Shot’s in Frederick)
  • BetMGM (operator for BetMGM Maryland Sports/MGM National Harbor in Oxon Hill)
  • BetRivers (operator for Arundel Amusements/Bingo World in Brooklyn Park)
  • Caesars Sportsbook (operator for CZR Maryland Mobile Opportunity/Horseshoe Casino in Baltimore)
  • DraftKings (Crown MD Online Gaming)
  • Fantatics Sportsbook (operator for Maryland Stadium Sub, LLC)
  • FanDuel (operator for PPE Maryland Mobile/Live! Casino and Hotel in Hanover)
  • PointsBet (operator for Riverboat on the Potomac in Charles County)
  • SuperBook (SBOpco, LLC)

Expanding Options for Maryland Sports Betting Enthusiasts

With the inclusion of Crab Sports, Maryland’s online sports betting market has expanded and now provides residents and visitors with a larger range of options for their sporting endeavors. Sports fans may anticipate increasing competition and enhanced offers from these operators as the sector picks up steam, which will eventually improve the Maryland sports betting experience as a whole.
