Friday Deadline Looming for Ohio Sports Betting<\/h2>\n Sports betting in Ohio is set to start on Jan. 1, and the OCCC has released the applications for those interested in the three types of wagering that will be allowed: online (Type A), in-person sportsbook (Type B), and kiosks at select bars (Type C).<\/p>\n
Under the setup, the state\u2019s casinos, racinos, and major league sports franchises can apply to serve as Type A and Type B proprietors. The Muirfield Village Golf Course, which hosts the PGA Tour\u2019s Memorial tournament, and the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course may also apply for licenses.<\/p>\n
Those entities and others will need to partner with a management services provider (MSP) or a mobile management services provider (MMSP). Under the agreement announced Wednesday, Betfred would be the Bengals MMSP.<\/p>\n

This week is an important week for Ohio sports betting. The OCCC has stated that proprietors and providers seeking to go live on the Jan. 1 universal start date must submit their applications by this Friday. That’s in order to ensure they would be approved in time for a New Year\u2019s Day launch.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
As of\u00a0 last Friday, JACK Cleveland Casino, JACK Thistledown racino, and HOF Village Newco \u2013 a sports and entertainment development district around the Pro Football Hall of Fame \u2013 have applied to serve as hosts for both an online platform and a brick-and-mortar sportsbook. \u00a0The Bengals so far have just applied to host an MMSP.<\/p>\n
Barstool Sportsbook, BetMGM, DraftKings, FanDuel, Fanatics, and PointsBet have applied for MMSP licenses, and BetMGM, FanDuel, Fanatics, and JACK Cleveland have submitted paperwork for MSP retail licenses.<\/p>\n
Ohio\u2019s sports betting law sets the number of online apps at 25, and retail sportsbooks at 40. In addition, the sportsbooks are limited to the larger counties in the state.<\/p>\n
Besides the sportsbooks and the online apps, the Type C kiosks will be available to bars with certain licenses across the state. Through last week, the Ohio Lottery has prequalified more than 850 establishments. But those entities must still submit an application when they become available on Friday.<\/p>\n
Bars that want kiosks on Jan. 1 will need to submit their applications by Aug. 15.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
