I'm Trevor Langdon, and I've been covering Ohio sports betting since mobile wagering went live on January 1, 2023. This site is a directory built for Ohio bettors who want straight answers — which apps are licensed, how to sign up, and what the rules actually say.
Why I built this site
I'm a recreational poker player who started tracking his own results years ago. When Ohio launched legal sports betting, I tested every app I could get my hands on. I noticed most coverage was either too vague or buried the useful stuff. So I built a clean resource instead.
Everything here comes from the Ohio Casino Control Commission, operator terms pages, and my own hands-on testing. If I can't confirm a fact, I say so. You won't find made-up bonus figures or invented payout speeds on this site.
What you'll find here
The Ohio Sportsbook directory is the starting point. From there you can browse all licensed Ohio sportsbook apps, read individual reviews, and get help with the basics.
- Step-by-step guides, like how to sign up for an Ohio sportsbook
- Legal explainers, including whether sports betting is legal in Ohio
- Tax guidance, such as whether you pay taxes on Ohio sportsbook winnings
- Plain-English term definitions in the Ohio sports betting glossary
How I keep it accurate
Ohio's market moves. Apps rebrand — Barstool became ESPN Bet. Promos change every week. I revisit operator pages and OCCC filings regularly so the information stays current. If you spot something outdated, email me through the contact details on the privacy page.
