The market
Ohio opened with a wide field of operators all at once, then saw the tax double from 10% to 20% within its first year. The launch was one of the most promotion-heavy in recent memory. The market has since settled into a mature, competitive state.
What this means for matched betting
Ohio is well past its launch rush, when offers were unusually generous, and has settled into a normal competitive market. Thirteen operators is one of the wider fields in the country, so finding a book to cover a bet is rarely the constraint. The 20% tax keeps offers moderate but regular.
Figures are indicative and can change as markets evolve. Always confirm current rules, tax and the legal age with the OCCC before you bet.
