(WBFF) — The legal sports wagering market generated just over $5.7 million in contributions to the state of Maryland in June, more than double the $2.8 million recorded in June 2023, Maryland Lottery and Gaming said.

$5.7 million is the fifth-highest single month total contribution since sports betting was legalized in Maryland in December 2021.

Revenue sources contributing to these totals include sports wagers placed at retail sportsbooks as well as on mobile sports betting apps.
