More than 16.5 million geolocation transactions were reported during the opening five days of Maryland’s newly regulated online sports betting market.
Data published by geolocation and fraud prevention specialist GeoComply revealed activity across 477,365 unique accounts between 23 November, the day the state’s market opened, and 28 November.
The five-day period included the Thanksgiving weekend, and some 3.7 million geolocation transactions were recorded on Thanksgiving Day alone, with focus on events such as the NFL, NBA and the 2022 Fifa World Cup.
