Common Questions From Ohio

We answer gambling-related questions frequently asked by our visitors from Ohio.

Are online casinos legal in Ohio?

No, real money online casinos are prohibited in Ohio, and the current governor has spoken out against expanding gambling legislation to include it. It seems very unlikely we'll see online casinos in the state any time soon. 

It is however possible to legally play slot machines and other types of casino games for free at social/sweepstakes casinos. 

Are online sportsbooks legal in Ohio?

Yes, online sports betting was legalized in Ohio on the 1st of January 2023. The legislation was passed earlier, but the official launch of the first sportsbooks came in 2023. But only selected sportsbooks are legal; the ones that applied for and received a state license. 

What types of sports gaming are legal in Ohio?
  • Traditional sports betting
  • Sweepstakes/social sportsbooks
  • Daily Fantasy Sports

Pick'em and prediction markets are currently legal, but are facing regulatory action. Some brands have been issued cease-and-desists. Prediction markets across the country are currently in a battle of State VS Federal jurisdiction, with no clear outcome as of yet. 

What is the legal gambling age in Ohio?

  • Online sportsbooks: 21+
  • Daily fantasy: 18-21+
  • Sweepstakes: 18-21+

  • Bingo & lotteries: 18+
Is it possible to claim multiple betting bonuses?

Normally, a sportsbook offer one exclusive sign-up bonus, redeemable the first time you deposit money on their platform. These are the most generous bonuses, and the heavy marketing guns of the betting world. Basically, every sportsbook offer one, and you can claim it at every licensed brand in your state. 

The sportsbooks can also offer recurring promotions, campaigns, boosts, rewards programs and referral bonuses to keep loyal customers happy. 

How much are gambling winnings taxed?

In Ohio, gambling winnings are taxed at a flat 4% rate by the state. There is no specific gambling tax, and the profits are taxed as normal income. Federal income tax by the IRS is applied as well. Ohio does not allow you to deduct gambling losses from your winnings.
