The state of Maine is moving toward legalization of sports betting.
On June 19, 2019, Maine lawmakers passed “An Act to Ensure Proper Oversight of Sports Betting in the State.” Shortly after, the governor rejected the bill. The legislature could revive the bill with a special session or re-introduction next year. The current version permitted both retail and mobile betting. The bill prohibited betting on high school events and college contests involving Maine-based schools. However, wagering on e-sports was allowed.
