Ohio regulator warns sportsbooks prediction markets may threaten licences
The Ohio Casino Control Commission has warned sports gaming licensees that offering sporting event contracts in Ohio could affect their continued suitability to hold licences. In a letter signed by executive director Matthew Schuler, the commission said it would consider operators’ direct or indirect involvement with such markets when reviewing licence status.
Ohio sportsbooks face potential licence scrutiny if they offer or partner in sporting event contracts without commission approval.
