Maine bill would ban credit card usage for certain online gaming deposits
A bill approved by a Maine legislative committee would bar sports bettors from using credit cards to make deposits but leaves the door opent for iGaming.
A bill advancing in the Maine Senate would restrict the state's licensed online sportsbooks from accepting deposits from people using credit cards but would not affect that same situation in terms of Maine's presumptive online casino market. The engrossed law legalizing iGaming makes no mention of credit cards, although the Maine Gambling Control Unit may be able to take action to create a uniform landscape in forthcoming regulations if the credit card ban for sports wagering takes effect.
