The Verdict


FanDuel is the right pick for the majority of Maryland bettors; especially if you value app polish, Same Game Parlay markets, and a sizable risk-protected welcome offer. The Bet Reset Token structure is uniquely generous (up to $3,000 across 10 days) versus single-shot offers from competitors. Only consider alternatives if you specifically prioritize Caesars Rewards integration or DraftKings' deeper futures markets.
