Following a three-year process that included several false starts, sports betting is coming to the Buckeye State.

On Wednesday, Ohio Governor Mike DeWine signed House Bill 29, which legalizes sports betting in the state, into law.

While the bill stipulates that sports gaming, including the ability to wager on college and professional games, be made available by Jan. 1, 2023, Ohio Sen. Kirk Schuring (R-Jackson Township) said that he is hopeful that Ohioans will be able to place bets before then.
