The most interesting state in the sportsbook world right now? It has to be Ohio. If it was Gov. Mike DeWine speaking, in the parlance of a certain early-2000s advertising campaign, he might say, “We don’t always raise taxes, but when we do, we prefer it to be on sportsbook operators.”
Or if bet365’s CEO stepped in front of the camera: “We don’t always try to compete on U.S. soil, but when we do, we prefer it to be in Ohio.”
Or perhaps the team at Fanatics would like a turn: “We don’t always start a brand new business, but when we do, we prefer to do so in the Buckeye State.”
“Most interesting man in the world” metaphors aside, Ohio has been making waves in the sportsbook world of late and has slid in as the state to watch for numerous reasons.
