Thanksgiving football and the ongoing World Cup just got more interesting for Marylanders: Mobile and online sports betting is set to launch throughout the state on Wednesday.
The Times also reports that projections from the American Gaming Association of how much tax revenue each state could expect to collect if it legalized sports betting have fallen short:
The association’s consultants predicted, for example, that Virginia could expect to collect an extra $57 million a year in tax revenue if it legalized mobile sports betting and applied a 15 percent tax rate. That is what Virginia did, but in the most recent 12 months of betting, the state collected only $38 million.
Other states with large shortfalls included Connecticut, Michigan, West Virginia and Wyoming. Overall, in the 14 jurisdictions that allow mobile sports betting and that have tax rates in the range anticipated by the gambling association, tax revenues over the last 12 months have been nearly $150 million below the $560 million the group predicted, The Times found.Online sports betting has been available in DC and Virginia since May 2020 and January 2021, respectively.
