Just moved to Ohio? Which sportsbooks take bets there and how to compare their odds
After a move to Ohio, set Ohio as your state on Betwatch and it turns off the books that do not take online bets there, keeping DraftKings, FanDuel, BetMGM, Caesars, bet365, Fanatics, BetRivers, Hard Rock Bet, BallyBet and theScore Bet, and compares their odds side by side across 42 odds sources. Dimers has an Ohio page on the licensed sportsbooks and the state's rules, and BettingUSA has a state dropdown on its odds table.

The list
At a glance
The books on Betwatch that take online bets in Ohio
Betwatch keeps a state list for every US-licensed sportsbook, pick'em app and prediction market it compares. With Ohio set as your state, these are the ones that stay on.
| Group | Books that stay on |
|---|---|
| US sportsbooks | DraftKings, FanDuel, BetMGM, Caesars, bet365, Fanatics, BetRivers, Hard Rock Bet, BallyBet and theScore Bet |
| Social and sweepstakes sportsbooks | Fliff and Rebet |
| Prediction markets and betting exchanges | Kalshi, Polymarket US, Novig and ProphetX |
Offshore and international books are not state-licensed, so Betwatch leaves them as you set them. Switch them off under Sportsbooks in Account Preferences if you do not want them on your boards.
What to do after you move
Open Account Preferences and change Your state to Ohio. The books from your old state that do not take online bets in Ohio turn off as soon as the setting saves, and the ones that do turn back on. The change follows your account to every device.
Then open the Live Board, the +EV board or the Movement Tracker. They compare only the books that are on and pick the best price among them, while the market consensus and the +EV fair odds still count every book.
Ohio rules to know first
Dimers' Ohio page gives the basics: online and retail betting launched on January 1, 2023, the regulator is the Ohio Casino Control Commission, the minimum age is 21, and you can bet anywhere inside Ohio without being a resident. It also lists a restriction that matters for prop shoppers: no player props on college games.
Check the Ohio Casino Control Commission for the current list of licensed operators, since books enter and leave.

Dimers' Ohio page lists the online sportsbooks, the regulator, the launch date, the minimum age and restrictions such as no player props on college games, with each book's share of Ohio online handle. It is a guide to which books are legal and how they rank, not an odds screen for them.

Just moved to Ohio? Which sportsbooks take bets there and how to compare their odds: questions
I just moved to Ohio. Which sportsbooks are legal here?
On Betwatch's Ohio list: DraftKings, FanDuel, BetMGM, Caesars, bet365, Fanatics, BetRivers, Hard Rock Bet, BallyBet and theScore Bet. Online and retail betting in Ohio launched on January 1, 2023, and the Ohio Casino Control Commission publishes the current licensed operators.
How do I compare the odds of the sportsbooks in Ohio before betting?
Change your state to Ohio in Betwatch's Account Preferences. The books not live online in Ohio turn off, and the Live Board, the +EV board and the Movement Tracker compare the ones that are left with the best price flagged.
Do I need to change my state on Betwatch after moving?
Yes. The state setting is what turns books on and off, and it follows your account to every device. Change it once and the books from your old state that are not live in Ohio drop off.
Can I bet on college player props in Ohio?
Dimers lists no player props on college games as an Ohio restriction, so expect pro props only. Check the book you use.
Can I compare social sportsbooks, pick'em apps and prediction markets in Ohio?
Betwatch keeps the ones its state list shows as live in Ohio besides the sportsbooks: Fliff, Rebet, Kalshi, Polymarket US, Novig and ProphetX. The rest are turned off with your state.
What happens to offshore sportsbooks when I set Ohio?
Nothing. Offshore and international books are not state-licensed, so Betwatch leaves them as you set them under Sportsbooks. Switch them off there if you do not want them on your boards.
Does it cost anything to set Ohio as my state?
Yes. Choosing your state and your sportsbooks needs a free account, and the league, team and game odds pages need no account.
Betwatch in short
