As violation notices and looming fines start to stack against some of the most popular Ohio sports betting proprietors, the state’s gambling regulatory agency said it is still closely watching all licensees for transgressions just ten days after the universal launch.
Jessica Franks, director of communications for the Ohio Casino Control Commission Communications, said that several licensees did not take proper action after general warnings went out about advertising that broke state law and commission rules and regulations.
“We have been very disappointed that for all of the talk that the industry has about wanting to ensure that only those over the age of 21 can place a wager, and that they’re not targeting folks that they shouldn’t, their actions right now don’t seem to be really matching up with the words,” Franks said in an interview with NBC4.
