Ohio governor vows further enforcement action against prediction market operators

Ohio will pursue enforcement action against more prediction market operators offering sports contracts, Governor Mike DeWine has said, in a fight over whether state gambling law applies to federally regulated event contracts. As GamblingNews first reported , DeWine said via The Statehouse News Bureau that the products break the state’s gambling laws and that Ohio is ready to go after additional operators. The state’s gambling regulator, the Ohio Casino Control Commission, has already issued cease-and-desist notices to Kalshi, Polymarket and Robinhood, and a federal court recently ruled that Kalshi must comply with Ohio law.
