Sports betting in Ohio

There are two sports betting bills - House and Senate - working their way through the legislature in the Buckeye State. The House version (HB 194) is further along in committee meetings, but Kentucky, the one state adjacent to Ohio currently without legalized sports betting, is further along in the legislative process.

Both Ohio bills being proposed would allow bets on professional and collegiate sports. The Senate bill would also allow wagering on Olympic and international sports like the World Cup. Both would allow for mobile sports betting.
