In wake of recent sports betting scandals, sports leagues and sports books constantly evaluating landscape.

Ohio

Sports betting in Ohio is under increased scrutiny following federal charges in betting scandals involving Major League Baseball and NBA players with ties to the state. In response, Major League Baseball has partnered with major sportsbooks to limit micro prop bets, a move supported by Ohio Governor Mike DeWine and modeled after similar NFL actions.

The NBA scandal has also drawn attention from federal lawmakers, leading to calls for stricter oversight to protect the integrity of sports. As a result, Ohio has paused any expansion of online gaming, with state leaders indicating a need to review and potentially tighten sports betting regulations.

How sports betting could change in Ohio

Well, sports betting in the US is about to enter the busiest time of year with the full roster of holiday weekend matchups like Ohio State versus Michigan. But the sports betting landscape is changing in the wake of scandals involving Major League Baseball and the N. B. A. New science John Kostic takes a look at what the leagues are doing and what states like Ohio could soon do. The last month has been a rough one for the sports betting industry with federal charges brought in scandals involving both N. B. A. And M. L. B. Players with ties to Northeast Ohio Guardians pitchers, Emanuel Class A and Luis Ortiz and N. B. A. Star Terry Rozier from Shaker Heights. It's been a very concerning month, lots of different developments and threads running through it. Jeff Sigotney is a senior sports betting analyst with coverage dot com. He said it got the conversations going among those who work in and regulate the industry as well as the leagues that interact with them. You're seeing a lot of silver second thought, I guess you could say the major concern has been over micro prop bets. Things like the first pitch balls at the center of the M. L. B. Investigation of Class A and Ortiz. These just need to go away a stance Governor Mike Dewine took from the very beginning on behalf of Ohio, but said it would mean nothing unless others followed. And that's why he looked to work with Major League Baseball on a wider approach. Ohio can do it, but it doesn't eliminate the problem. That's why he applauded the efforts of Major League Baseball this month and partnering with sports books representing 98% of the market to restrict micro prop bets to $200 and exclude those bets from parlays. Things that God, he said, follows what the NFL has done in that they have worked sort of behind the scenes with their sports betting partners to just take things off the wagering menu that they don't like that they think could pose concerns and securing those agreements. And they think they've been pretty successful in that the NBA scandal, though, getting the attention of Washington with the Senate Commerce Committee, including Ohio Senator Bernie Moreno, calling on NBA Commissioner Adam Silver to assure them the integrity of the sport is being protected. And the last thing we want is fans not have confidence in the games that are played all of this part of the atmosphere that has put any idea of I gaming in Ohio on hold. For now, I've been pretty clear that there's not support within the caucus right now to have an expansion of gaming. And while the leagues look at guardrails, the Ohio Senate president says maybe the state should take a closer look as well. This is when bad, violent things start to happen is when it's out of control. So, yeah, I think we need to look at it and see what needs to get undone possibly or get done in Cleveland.
