The Ohio sports betting revenue has been making record-breaking headlines since the state legalized online sports betting in 2023. In August 2025, Ohio again surpassed expectations by recording a sports betting handle of  $651.1 million up 22%.

This milestone is the highest the state has recorded since 2023 and marks the third time the state’s betting handle surpassed $500 million. This surge shows how successful the sports betting industry has been in the state.

Ohio’s sports bettors enjoy betting on their devices more than queuing at a brick-and-mortar sportsbook. According to data from the Ohio Casino Control Commission, of the $1 billion handle wagered in January of 2025, roughly $992 million came from online sports betting. With retail bets amounting to just $19 million during the same period.
