Can I obtain a fantasy sports license in Maine? What are the requirements?
To obtain a fantasy sports license in Maine, you must submit an application, disclose ownership interests, consent to a criminal background check, provide gross fantasy contest revenues, specify the type and estimated number of fantasy contests, provide methods to determine and verify the geographic location of a fantasy contestant, provide methods to protect a fantasy contestant’s personal and private information, and pay the required fees [1.1].
However, it is important to note that there are different types of licenses for sports wagering in Maine, including facility sports wagering license and mobile sports wagering license [2.1][2.2]. These licenses have different eligibility requirements, fees, and terms.
If you are interested in obtaining a facility sports wagering license, you must be a commercial track, a casino licensed under section 1011, or an off-track betting facility licensed under section 275-D or Public Law 2019, chapter 626, section 16 [2.1].
On the other hand, if you are interested in obtaining a mobile sports wagering license, you must be a federally recognized Indian tribe in Maine [2.2].
Therefore, it is important to determine which type of license is appropriate for your needs and to review the specific requirements for that license.
