“We look forward to our continued collaboration with the Maine Gambling Control Unit as we become the official mobile sports betting provider of the Passamaquoddy Tribe and launch in our industry-leading 25th state.”īetMGM has been making inroads in the state and could end up partnering with a few of the retail locations along with launching their online sportsbook. “Building a relationship with the Passamaquoddy Tribe is a fantastic opportunity for DraftKings as we look to bring customers in the state of Maine safe and legal sports betting,” DraftKings’ CEO Jason Robin said of the deal. The market’s small size had prevented many sportsbooks from passing on entering the state, but DraftKing's move may lead to other major operators changing course. Caesars had been the sole operator to obtain a license leading up to the launch, but DraftKings gained on October 31, just days before the industry launched. While the state’s sports betting law allows for up to four sportsbooks, only two launched on Friday: Caesars and DraftKings. They expect to have betting kiosks up as soon as they finish constructing the sportsbooks. Retail sports betting also became legal, but the state’s casinos and off-track betting locations have yet to open physical locations. The move came one year after the Pine Tree State officially legalized sports betting. Maine officially launched their online sports betting industry on Friday, November 3.
