(Ohio).- Ohio Becomes 11th State To Land On Illegal Gaming Operator Bovada’s Restricted List. There was a time when offshore betting site Bovada had free reign in the United States. That time, however, seems to be coming to a close.
Ohio became the 11th state on Bovada’s restricted list, which is a tally of states in which Bovada doesn’t offer its online sportsbook and casino sites. The Ohio ban comes just weeks after Ohio Control Commission Executive Director Matthew T. Schuler sent Bovada a cease-and-desist letter.
In the Aug. 6 letter, he gave Bovada 10 days to cease its operations in the Buckeye State:
"Because Bovada is offering unlicensed and illegal online gaming products within Ohio, the Commission demands that Bovada cease and desist from offering, participating in the offering, or facilitating those who offer these products in the State of Ohio. Bovada shall notify the Commission in writing no later than August 16, 2024, that it has complied with this cease-and-desist notice.”
Key takeaways
- Bovada no longer offers its online casino and sportsbook in Ohio.
- Ohio becomes the 11th state to join Bovada’s restricted list.
- A flurry of states have taken action against Bovada in recent months.
Why Ohio regulators threatened legal action against Bovada
Ohio law prohibits a company from offering an online casino within the state’s borders. Additionally, a company can offer online sports betting only if it goes through the proper licensing process.
Bovada was offering online casino gaming, poker and a sportsbook. The former two were deemed illegal, and the latter was happening without Bovada seeking a license through the Ohio Gaming Commission.
