Sportradar has received two new US state gaming licences in Maryland and Wisconsin.
Maryland and Wisconsin each recently passed legislation allowing consumers to place wagers at select physical sportsbooks in those states. Maryland first started accepting legal wagers on December 9, while Wisconsin introduced legalised sports betting on November 30 through the Oneida Nation.
Both states also have plans to expand to online and mobile betting. With new licences in Maryland and Wisconsin, Sportradar is able to support all legal sportsbook operators in those states. In total, Sportradar now holds 26 licences at the state and tribal levels in the US.
Arne Rees, Sportradar's US CEO, said: “Sportradar is constantly looking for opportunities to expand offerings for its partners and customers and, from a betting standpoint, that starts with securing state licences in key states like Maryland and Wisconsin, which have multiple professional sports teams, as well as very passionate fanbases.
"These licences further Sportradar’s leadership position in the US and allow us to grow these new markets with our best-in-class data, products and services, all backed by the highest levels of integrity.”
