US.- DeWine has signed Ohio’s fiscal year 2024-25 budget bill with an increase in the state’s sports betting tax from 10 to 20 per cent. DeWine proposed the rise in his budget proposal early in the year.


The new tax is expected to generate an additional $100m in revenue, mostly for the Sports Gaming Profits Education Fund. As mandated by the original law, 2 per cent of the increase in tax revenue will be directed to the Problem Sports Gaming Fund.


The Ohio Casino Control Commission (OCCC) launched both online sports betting and retail sports wagering on January 1, 2023. The state currently has 18 sportsbooks.
