Friday’s will henceforth be Ohio sports betting application day for the foreseeable future.

The Ohio Casino Control Commission released its first batch of Ohio sports betting applicants last Friday. No Type A, Type B, or Type C license applications were submitted, but PointsBet and BetMGM both submitted applications to be “Mobile Management Service Providers” in the Buckeye State.

The commission will update its list of applicants every Friday. The first application window for licenses opened on June 15 and will close on July 15.

If approved, these operators would be allowed to launch an online sports betting skin in the state on Jan. 1, 2023.
