As of my last update in early 2023, sports betting is legal in the state of Ohio. The Ohio legislature passed a bill in December 2021 that legalized sports betting, both online and in person, and the first legal sports bets were expected to be taken in early 2022.
The Ohio Casino Control Commission is the regulatory body overseeing sports betting in the state. There are a variety of platforms and operators offering sports betting services, including both retail sportsbooks located at casinos and racinos, as well as mobile and online sports betting apps.
To participate in sports betting in Ohio, you must:
1. Be at least 21 years of age.
2. Use a licensed sportsbook or app.
It’s important to note that the laws and regulations regarding sports betting can change, and there may be specific rules and restrictions on what types of bets you can make, the types of sports you can bet on, and the locations where you can place bets. Always ensure you’re up to date with the latest information and regulations before participating in sports betting.
For the most current information, you should check the latest updates from the Ohio Casino Control Commission or visit the website of a licensed sportsbook operator in Ohio.
