The universal launch date for sports wagering in Ohio is no longer a mystery. New Year’s Day, 2023, is when the Buckeye State will join more than two dozen others across the country in allowing for sports betting to take place inside state lines.
Not only will individuals be able to place a sports bet on their mobile devices anywhere across the state, they’ll be able to place wagers on sports in person at Las Vegas-style sportsbooks that are being constructed inside the casinos/racinos in Ohio.
Alex Rangel, Hollywood Casino Toledo’s vice president of marketing, said the 125,000-square-foot casino located in northwest Ohio, along with the other three Penn National Gaming properties in the state, will have sportsbooks on site by the time sports wagering becomes a reality on Jan. 1.
