Legal Sports Betting on Ohio’s Table in 2022

John Granzier, owner of Merry Arts Pub and Grill, the oldest bar in Lakewood, Ohio, said on Dec. 10 that he'd be glad to place a sports betting kiosk in his suburban Clevleand establishment. Ohio's legislature passed House Bill 29 and Gov. Mike DeWine next will review it. The state could make betting licenses available to eligible businesses as early as April, 2022.

Ohioans may be able to bet on sports as early as Major League Baseball’s opening day, but for now a bill that would legalize the activity is awaiting the signature of Gov. Mike DeWine (R).
