As of my last update in early 2023, DraftKings is indeed operational in Ohio, offering sports betting and daily fantasy sports. However, the ability to place bets on DraftKings or any other sports betting platform is subject to state laws and regulations, as well as the terms and conditions of the platform itself.
In Ohio, sports betting became legal in December 2021, with both retail and online sportsbooks authorized to operate. DraftKings was among the operators that secured a partnership with a casino in Ohio, which allowed them to offer sports betting services in the state.
To bet on DraftKings in Ohio, you must:
1. Be located within the state borders when placing your bets, as geolocation services are used to ensure compliance with state laws.
2. Be at least 21 years of age, as this is the legal gambling age in Ohio.
3. Have a DraftKings account, which requires you to provide personal information and verify your identity.
It’s important to note that the availability of certain types of bets or features on DraftKings can change, and the platform may also be subject to regulatory changes. Always ensure that you are up to date with the latest information regarding sports betting regulations in Ohio and that you are in compliance with all applicable laws.
For the most current information, you should check the latest updates from DraftKings and the Ohio Casino Control Commission, which regulates sports betting in the state.
