flag Ohio's online gambling expansion stalled in 2025 due to opposition, market concerns, and governor's veto threat.

flag Legal online gambling in Ohio is unlikely to advance in the current legislative session, House Speaker Matt Huffman said, citing market saturation and recent gambling expansions. flag Despite proposals for internet casino and lottery games, no hearings have been held on key bills, and they were excluded from the state budget. flag Governor Mike DeWine opposes the measures, warning of increased gambling addiction risks, especially given a 2022 survey showing one in five Ohioans at risk, with hotline calls rising in 2023. flag While sports betting passed in 2023, broader online gaming remains stalled amid opposition from faith leaders, unions, and mental health advocates, despite support from major gambling companies.
