Maine still needs to complete a legal review, hire six staff members and launch a licensing portal. Maine’s online casino market is more likely to launch in the first quarter of 2027 than before the end of 2026, according to Gambling Control Unit Executive Director Milton Champion , as the state continues working through its rules and licensing preparations. Asked by Gambling Insider whether a launch before the end of 2026 was possible, Champion pointed to the legal review still required. Depends on the time taken with regard to the legality review.
