The Betfred Sportsbook at Long Shot’s in the Capital Region of Maryland is now open. This new sports betting facility offers an 80-panel television wall and 12 self-service kiosks. Players can place cash bets at the betting counter and also deposit and withdraw from their Betfred online account.
Betfred recently obtained a license in Maryland, with plans for the Long Shot’s partnership announced in July 2022. Maryland legalized sports betting in December 2021, starting with retail locations, and online wagering launched in November 2021.
“Our commitment to enhancing the sports betting experience remains unwavering,” said Betfred USA CEO Kresimir Spajic. “The integration of cash deposits and withdrawals demonstrates our dedication to providing customers in Frederick and throughout Maryland with a top-tier betting experience.”
Alyse Cohen, CEO of Long Shot’s, expressed excitement about the collaboration with Betfred, stating, “We are thrilled to introduce this state-of-the-art sportsbook, enriching the exceptional Long Shot’s experience.”
