The Ohio Casino Control Commission approved its first group of applicants for Type C sports betting proprietors licenses during its meeting on Wednesday morning.

Green Bear Gaming Development, which will do business as UBet Ohio; Iron Gate Gaming, doing business as betIGG; Skybox Sports Network Inc.; and Intralot Inc. received unanimous conditional approval for sports gaming proprietors licenses by the commission. The approval guarantees that they will be able to operate on the universal start date of Jan. 1, 2023.

They represent four of the seven businesses that had applied for Type C licenses dating back to July 15. Elys Gameboard Technologies, J&J Ventures Gaming of Ohio, and Gold Rush Amusements have also applied for the license and are still waiting to be approved by the commission.
