PointsBet Maryland LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of PointsBet Holdings Ltd., last week announced plans to enter the Maryland sports wagering market through an exclusive agreement with Riverboat on-the-Potomac, a popular Off-Track Betting (OTB), keno and licensed lottery retailer on the Potomac River in Charles County.
Once approved by regulators, PointsBet will quickly offer its retail and online sports betting product at the facility, once known as “Little Reno.”
“With terrific partners in the Riverboat on the Potomac, PointsBet is thrilled to begin the process toward offering the passionate, sports-loving community of Maryland with the fastest and most differentiated sports betting product across every customer touchpoint,” said Johnny Aitken, CEO of PointsBet USA. “We look forward to quickly and responsibly introducing sports bettors to the newly legalized competitive advantages PointsBet possesses in owning our technology end-to-end, such as market-leading ease of use and the deepest slate of betting options available in the world.”
“We’re excited about this new endeavor, PointsBet is not only an international leader but has recently proven to be an industry trailblazer. Their landmark agreement with the Riverboat on-the-Potomac has provided an incredible model for the diversity and inclusion of MBEs all over the United States,” said Winston DeLattiboudere, co-managing member of the Riverboat Group. “We are proud to be partnering with a giant that understands and believes in the value of inclusiveness in every facet of the industry, from the owners to the bettors.”
As the official exclusive sports betting partner of NBC Sports, PointsBet will utilize the media giant’s premium television and digital assets to promote the PointsBet brand in Maryland.
