Ohio’s sports betting market saw year-over-year gains in February, but it was a tale of two formats. While mobile apps saw more bets and positive revenue, most in-person betting lounges were in the negative.
Gamblers bet $672 million on sports in February, up from $639 million in the same month last year.
Ohio’s sports betting operators — whether it was by phone, in-person or at a kiosk — collected $66 million in revenue after paying out the winnings and settling voided wagers, down from $82 million, according to compiled data from the Ohio Casino Control and Ohio Lottery commissions.
But mobile betting apps, like FanDuel and DraftKings, accounted for essentially all of the revenue.
