Ohio approves use of gift cards for sports betting accounts
Ohio Casino Control Commission allows gift cards as funding sources for sports gaming accounts in the state
The Ohio Casino Control Commission has announced that gift cards will be accepted as a funding source for sports betting accounts in the state. The gift cards will be subject to review and must comply with the state's gambling rules. Although no submissions have been made yet, companies have approached the commission on the matter previously.
According to a report released last month, Ohio sportsbooks received over $82m in wagers in February, with mobile sports betting apps being the most used platform. In contrast to January's results, February's betting numbers were lower.
