Expanding Reach: Betfred Opens New Sportsbook in Maryland

The latest addition to the world of sports betting in Maryland promises an exciting betting experience for enthusiasts. The newly unveiled sports betting facility boasts an impressive 80-panel television wall, complemented by 12 user-friendly self-service kiosks. Bettors can conveniently place cash bets at the counter or handle their online Betfred accounts for deposits and withdrawals.

Betfred's venture into Maryland was made possible after securing a license in February, a journey that had been meticulously planned long before. The partnership with Long Shot's was unveiled in July 2022, setting the stage for this exciting expansion.

Maryland took a significant step in the world of sports betting when it legalized the activity in December 2021, with retail operations starting first. It wasn't until November of the following year that regulated online sports wagering took flight.

Betfred USA CEO, Kresimir Spajic, expressed their commitment to enhancing the sports betting experience for Maryland residents. He emphasized the effortless integration of cash transactions as a testament to their dedication in providing top-tier betting services to the people of Frederick and all of Maryland.

Alyse Cohen, CEO of Long Shot's, added her enthusiasm to the collaboration, stating, "We are delighted to partner with Betfred and introduce this state-of-the-art sportsbook. It's a fantastic addition to the already outstanding Long Shot's experience."

Spajic, who recently assumed the role of Betfred USA's CEO, is now responsible for steering the company's strategy and operations in ten U.S. states. Betfred holds licenses to operate in Nevada, Pennsylvania, Colorado, Louisiana, Arizona, Iowa, Washington, Virginia, Ohio, and Maryland. Spajic brings a wealth of experience, having held executive and principal consulting roles in prominent gambling businesses like Great Canadian Entertainment, Apollo Global Management, Hard Rock International, Rush Street Interactive, Borgata, and Bwin. This expansion promises a bright future for sports betting in Maryland.
