The Ohio Casino Control Commission has withdrawn its membership from the National Council on Problem Gambling, becoming the third state gaming regulator confirmed to sever ties with the organization over its partnership with prediction market operator Kalshi.
News of the OCCC leaving the NCPG came to light at a Massachusetts Gaming Commission meeting last week where commissioners weighed a potential exit from the NCPG. It is the third confirmed group to end its membership with the NCPG, with the Michigan Gaming Control Board and the National Council on Problem Gambling leaving over the summer.
Ohio’s exit actually came first, with Interim Executive Director Andromeda Morrison sending the letter to end its membership with the NCPG in June, LSR confirmed.
