FanDuel Ohio Sportsbook: App Review & Features
FanDuel launched in Ohio on January 1, 2023 under the OCCC. Here's what the app looks like, how deposits work, and what Ohio bettors say about it.
Seven Ohio sportsbook apps are licensed and live right now. All of them launched under the Ohio Casino Control Commission framework that went live January 1, 2023. Every app on this page has cleared OCCC licensing — no offshore junk, no gray-market operators.
Which Ohio sportsbook apps are available?
The full list of licensed operators: FanDuel, DraftKings, BetMGM, Caesars, ESPN Bet (formerly Barstool), Bet365, and Fanatics. Each one is available as a mobile app and requires you to be physically inside Ohio state lines to place a bet. Geolocation is mandatory — VPNs will get your wager rejected.

What should you look at before picking an Ohio sportsbook?
Odds format, bet types, and app quality all matter. Every licensed Ohio book posts odds in American moneyline format — think -110 on a standard spread bet. But the user experience, promo structure, and available markets differ. Read each individual review before you commit.
Before you sign up anywhere, check out our guide on how to sign up for an Ohio sportsbook — it walks you through identity verification, geolocation, and your first deposit step by step. Also worth knowing: winnings are taxable at both the federal and Ohio state level. Our page on Ohio sportsbook taxes covers the details.
Are Ohio sportsbooks safe to use?
Every operator on this list is OCCC-licensed. That means consumer protections, licensed apps, and a path to resolve disputes. Offshore sites have none of that — learn more about why offshore sportsbooks are risky in Ohio. If you ever need a break, Ohio's self-exclusion program bars you from all licensed books in the state.
