Sports betting update for Ohio
The Ohio sports betting process essentially takes the summer off.
Ohio lawmakers attempted to pass a law legalizing sports betting in the state by June 30, but couldn’t get the legislation moving fast enough. The legislature is on hiatus for the summer and will meet again on September 15 when supporters say they will try again.
The whole process was complicated in Ohio. And while Buckeye State is still in the deliberative process, neighboring states of Michigan, Indiana, West Virginia, and Pennsylvania have generated tens of millions in legal sports betting revenue each month. Of these four states, all but Indiana also have iGaming, which is an even more lucrative source of income every month.
