Sports betting in Ohio will start at midnight on Jan. 1, 2023, according to Casino Control Commission Executive Director Matt Schuler.
Ohio sportsbooks can take their first bets “once the ball drops in Times Square,” Schuler said at Wednesday’s commission meeting.
There should be plenty of operators ready to go based on applications received so far. More can still join, as the application window for second-skin operators to launch day one runs through Aug. 15.
