Ohio governor says he would sign repeal of sports betting law
Ohio Governor Mike DeWine said he regrets signing the law that legalised sports betting and would sign a repeal, while acknowledging there are not enough votes for it. He signed the measure in December 2021, and it took effect in 2023; DeWine is now seeking tighter controls, including an end to what he calls micro-prop bets.
A repeal remains unlikely, but DeWine’s comments signal continued pressure for changes to Ohio sports-betting rules.
