Sports betting in Ohio has only been around for six weeks. However, that’s enough time for Gov. Mike DeWine to call for some major changes.
Among the items in DeWine’s proposed two-year budget, the Republican governor wants the tax on sports betting revenues doubled to 20%, the Ohio Casino Control Commission (OCCC) to be able to bar anyone from betting who threatens athletes, and to potentially take away the ability for sportsbooks to offer promotional credits if operators break the rules regarding them.
The Governor’s budget included a package of reforms to encourage a marketplace where the rules and the spirt of the law are better followed.
