Legal in Casino Control Commission to Discuss Several New Ohio Sports Betting Apps on Wednesday
New Ohio Sports Betting Apps to Be Approved This Week
The Ohio Casino Control Commission is looking to approve several new OH sports betting apps this week. Applications from several big companies like DraftKings, Hard Rock Sportsbook, Tipico, BetRivers, and BetMGM Ohio are set to be approved on the Commission’s Wednesday meeting.
If approved, the Ohio sports betting licenses would allow operators to manage online sports betting on behalf of the state’s retail entities, mainly the casinos and professional sports teams in the state. For example, Hard Rock’s online operation would partner with their retail casino in Cincinnati, whereas DraftKings would go under the Hollywood Casino Toledo license.
For the large sports betting operators the Wednesday meeting is just a formality, and we can expect them to join other Ohio betting apps like FanDuel Sportsbook and bet365 Ohio, who’ve already secured their licenses for the Buckeye state.

The online operators will include several new operators in addition to the established American sportsbooks- For example, Jake Paul’s Betr Sportsbook will likely operate under the SimpleBet license.
