The Ohio Casino Control Commission (OCCC) approved five applicants for sports gaming service providers licenses during the organization’s monthly meeting Wednesday morning in Columbus.

PointsBet, Caesars, Betfred, bet365, and SuperBook Sports received unanimous approval by the OCCC for sports betting service providers licenses. A representative for each sportsbook was either in attendance or on a livestream connection to hear the OCCC announce the list of the first group of sports gaming service providers applicants to be approved for licenses.

The OCCC also approved U.S. Integrity Inc. for a sports betting integrity monitor license.

“We are very excited about the Ohio launch,” U.S. Integrity President Matthew Holt said.
