With less than four months to go until Ohio launches sports betting in Ohio, the major operators of online and retail sports books have now been identified in a licensing process organized by the Ohio Casino Control Commission.

In southwest Ohio that means:

The Cincinnati Reds will partner with Underdog Sports Wagering LLC for online betting and Bet MGM LLC for a retail sports book, possibly in the Banks riverfont district.

FC Cincinnati will partner with SuperBook on a retail sports book at or near TQL Stadium. It also applied for an online betting license that names SuperBook as its service provider.
