Ohio lawmakers have introduced a sweeping proposal that would dramatically limit how residents can legally wager on games. Known as the Save Ohio Sports Act, the package would eliminate mobile wagering entirely and impose strict new limits on what remains.

This is a bill that could transcend Ohio sports betting apps. Online sports betting was not a thing in Ohio until December 8, 2021, when Governor Mike DeWine signed House Bill 29 into law. However, the online and retail sports betting market was not open for wagering across the state until January 1, 2023.

The market enjoyed significant success almost immediately and became one of the nation’s largest regulated sports betting jurisdictions.

Now, just three years after legalizing it, the state is about to return to its former position regarding sports betting. Once the bill is passed, online sportsbooks, college sports parlays, player proposition bets, and live betting would all be prohibited in the state. As a result, sportsbooks would only be able to offer traditional single-game wagers.
