Ohio senator renews bills to regulate prediction markets and bar election betting
Ohio state senator Bill DeMora is seeking renewed action on two bills covering sports prediction markets and election betting. SB 430 would bring sports-outcome contracts under Ohio’s sports-gambling rules, while SB 479 would extend the ban on election wagers to prediction-market platforms; neither bill has received a Senate floor vote.
If enacted, the proposals would require covered platforms to meet Ohio gambling rules and prohibit election-related contracts.
