When does MLB season run?

What is the legal sports betting age in Washington DC?

Can I use my Washington DC sportsbook account to bet MLB games when I travel?
Yes for the major operators (DraftKings, FanDuel, BetMGM, Caesars, bet365). The same account works in any state where the operator is licensed; the app activates the local odds, promotions, and MLB-specific markets based on your geolocation. You cannot bet from a state where the operator is not licensed regardless of account residency.
What is the operator tax rate in Washington DC and does it affect MLB betting lines?
Washington DC taxes operators at 10-30% GGR of revenue. Operators do not pay this directly to bettors, but high-tax states (NY 51%, PA 36%, IL 20-40%) historically see slightly wider hold percentages on the highest-volume markets; including the MLB moneyline. Washington DC bettors who line-shop across multiple operators capture better closing-line value than single-app bettors.
