BetRivers mobile app, part of Rush Street Interactive, is currently legal in 12 states and will soon be adding BetRivers Sportsbook Maryland to its growing industry footprint. BetRivers was the first online sportsbook to launch in four states, including Pennsylvania, and has a “first” to claim in Maryland, as well. Due to its partnership with Bingo World, BetRivers operates the first non-casino retail sportsbook in the state.
Here’s what you’ll find at BetRivers Sportsbook at Bingo World in Baltimore.

When Will Maryland Launch Online Betting?
A recent update from Maryland’s Sports Wagering Application Review Committee (SWARC) has said the state is on pace to start seeing online sports wagers being placed by the end of the year.
Bettors of the Old Line State are no doubt excited to hear that, after months of nearly no updates as SWARC was held back by state-level regulations regarding a diversity study for the industry.
A factor in this that remains up in the air is which Maryland sportsbooks will launch and when. In addition to the end-of-the-year mobile timeline, regulators have said sportsbooks will be able to start taking bets as soon as they are officially licensed. This means there will be no universal launch date for Maryland online sports betting, which may make it difficult to track which mobile sportsbooks are live. SWARC’s application window will close on Oct. 21 and the committee will have up to 45 days to review each application following that.
One thing is certain, however, and that is Maryland bettors will be eager to jump on the first handful of apps that become available. Getting to this point has been a long journey as sports betting legislation passed in November 2020, putting the launch of mobile wagering two years in the making.
