It's good that they made it legal, it's a good source of revenue for the local government and the industry as well, people will openly bet now without restrictions, you cannot stop gamblers from making a bet it's much better to tax them instead of them going underground, those who will stop it are those moral guardians of that localities, let's see if they file a petition to stop it.

Good news for those who love sports and want to make bets but can't do it due to the law. Although it's a good sign for sports bettors, due to the threat of COVID-19, some sports events were canceled and postponed. They still can't fully enjoy the legalization of sports betting. Perhaps, they can just enjoy it when the pandemic is over, and the quarantine is lifted.

Great news for Ohio gamblers. They now have the chance to show support to their favorite sports team with their money.

I don't know why sports betting is not allowed there while gambling is actually open. Sports betting is very much unlike those other gambling casino games which could make you lose money very quickly.
I also don't get it why they don't allow sports betting in the first place while the casino is legal. Also according to the article, they'll earn a 10% tax and that tax revenue will be directed to K-12 Education, which is good for them. But what matters is they can now have fun with sports betting, especially after the pandemic.

They should have done this a long time ago, they are like refusing taxes coming from the sportsbook, so now maybe they feel the need to raise their revenue due to the pandemic, so they decided to approve sports betting as their option.

it's still a good news though, as a gambler, I really pity those people who hiding when they are gambling because they are doing it illegally.
now, we will see these people getting the freedom to gamble while at the same time this will help the gambling industry to be profitable.

Expected news after Supreme Court decision to legalize sports betting.
All states should take the necessary steps to fully legalize sports betting, but it is only a matter of time before all states do so.
Why are people against this bill?
There will always be people who are against betting for crime related to this business, and the fact is that in order for someone to get money most others have to lose

Furthermore I don’t understand why are people against this bill...
I guess that the bowling center fears that it will lose revenue as some of its members will now substitute the bowling alleys with casinos.
But I totally agree with you. Just make it legal. You get rid of the illegal elements + the state owns tax revenues. Since when did illegal gambling/weed/prostitution stop anyone from doing what he wants. Lets not kid ourselves. Look at Colorado.

The house of Ohio has passed a bill in which it has declared sports betting as legal in Ohio, and in my personal opinion this shall benefit all the gamblers who reside in Ohio, because now they can gamble legally without fearing any arrests or any kind of fine.

It’s also pertinent to note that there’re few organisations that are against this bill, hence we will have to wait and see if they’ll challenge it in the court or no.

Furthermore I don’t understand why are people against this bill, because gamblers will always continue to gamble, but by making sports betting legal the state will earn additional revenue, which can further be used for the state’s development in the long run.

Quote

The Ohio House on Thursday voted 83-10 in favor of a bill that would place sports betting under the oversight of the Ohio Lottery Commission and allow Ohioans 21 or older to gamble on collegiate and pro sports either online or in casinos, racinos or veterans and fraternal halls.


Quote

It is opposed by Citizens for Community Values, Bowling Centers Association of Ohio, the Cincinnati Reds, and the PGA. Ohio public and private universities have also expressed reservations about legalizing betting on collegiate sports.


Quote

The Legislative Service Commission estimates the tax would generate $17.7 million in 2022 and $23 million in future years.
