Ohio’s sports betting model differs from others across the country, as the state will allow over 1,000 sports betting kiosks at various locations like bowling alleys, restaurants, bars, and grocery stores.
Mobile sports betting and retail wagering at casinos will also be available beginning on Jan. 1, but the widespread access to kiosks makes Ohio’s model unique. With only days until the launch of legal sports betting platforms in Ohio, however, there are still plenty of unknowns about how the kiosk rollout will look.
“Proprietors can launch January 1, and it will be up to each proprietor and host location to determine their individual start dates,” Danielle Frizzi-Babb, the Ohio Lottery’s deputy director of communications, told OH Bets in an email earlier this month.
