State Sen. Niraj Antani® emphasized the importance of legalizing online gaming in Ohio, stating, 'Many Ohioans don't have close access to a casino or racino but should be able to participate in this entertainment option. It's time to bring iGaming out of the black market and into the sunshine to provide it safely to all Ohioans.' His vision aims to facilitate safer gaming experiences for residents who otherwise lack access.
The recent legislation sets a 15% tax rate on online gaming revenue. State projections suggest that Ohio's legalization could generate $205 million to $410 million annually, reflecting the significant potential financial benefits for the state's economy.
With more states considering online gaming, Ohio's population of almost 12 million could allow for meaningful participation in the Multi-State Internet Gaming Agreement, enhancing both player pools and state revenue opportunities.
Currently, several states like Delaware, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania have legalized online casino gaming, while others like New York and Maryland are weighing their options. The push for Ohio emphasizes a growing trend towards regulated gambling operations across the U.S.
