Here’s how to bet on college football in Ohio after the state’s Jan. 1 launch.
– had been licensed to start taking wagers in Ohio as soon as New Year’s Day. That comes just over a year after legalized sports betting was signed into law in the state and one day after Ohio State’s semifinal showdown with defending champion Georgia in the College Football Playoff.Risk Free First Bet up to $1,000 with NPBONUS
Efforts to legalize sports betting in Ohio had been stymied as far back as 2019 before legislators broke through with House Bill 29, which passed overwhelmingly on Dec. 8, 2021. Gov. Mike DeWine signed HB 29 into law exactly two weeks later, with many hoping for full statewide implementation before a mandated launch on Jan. 1, 2023.
In total, HB 29 allows for up to 50 online and mobile operators and 40 brick-and-mortar sportsbooks, while nearly a thousand licenses have already been issued for kiosk-style betting with stricter limits. That includes hundreds of kiosks at popular grocery stores, though many of those won’t be operational until later in 2023.
Ohio is on track for a similar debut, and the college market in particular could separate the Buckeye State from the pack. Unlike in some states, bettors will be able to wager on local teams like Ohio State and Cincinnati, each of which have played in the College Football Playoff over the last two seasons.
