Market Notes
- Handle and growth: Ohio generated $10.84 billion in total sports betting handle for 2025 (solid growth from 2024). The market remains one of the largest in the U.S. and continues performing well in 2026 with strong seasonal peaks during NFL, college football, and basketball.
- Market split: Mobile dominates with 98%+ of handle across 13–14 online skins. Retail accounts for the remaining ~2% at casinos, racinos, and pro sports venues (e.g., Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse).
- Hold and tax: Statewide hold has averaged 9–11% recently. Operators pay 20% tax on online adjusted gross revenue and 10% on retail. This generated roughly $205–$215 million in state tax revenue for 2025, with the vast majority directed to education and a small portion to problem-gambling programs.
- Regulatory note: The Ohio Casino Control Commission and Lottery oversee the market. Governor DeWine has continued expressing concerns over aggressive advertising and gambling addiction. MLB’s $200 cap on certain player prop bets helped ease regulatory pressure. Enforcement against offshore operators remains active.
