Jake Paul and Joey Levy’s sports betting app, Betr, has received an online sports betting license in Maryland, marking a significant step forward for the company in a competitive market. The Maryland Sports Wagering Application Review Commission (SWARC) approved Betr, allowing them to launch in the state pending a controlled demonstration with the Maryland Lottery.
With Betr now legal in Maryland, the company is preparing to enter a new territory and compete against established players in the market. Betfred recently announced their exit from Maryland due to low market share, creating space for new entrants like Betr to attract bettors in the state.
Despite some setbacks, including leaving Massachusetts earlier this year, Betr remains optimistic about their prospects in Maryland. The company’s focus on live betting sets them apart and aims to carve out a niche in a crowded market dominated by big players like FanDuel and DraftKings.
With the upcoming launch of other operators like Veterans Services Corporation and Bally Bet, Maryland’s sports betting market is becoming more competitive, promising a wider range of choices for bettors and potentially better deals. SWARC Chairman Thomas Brandt believes Betr has a unique proposition and the potential to succeed in the evolving industry.
While Betr may initially capture a smaller market share compared to industry giants, their entry into Maryland represents a significant milestone for the company. As the market continues to evolve and new competitors emerge, Betr’s strategy and market position will be crucial in determining its success in the state.
