Ohio: Licensees providing services to prediction markets may impact suitability

The Ohio Casino Control Commission (OCCC) has sent its sports betting and fantasy contest licensees and applicants a notice warning of the consequences for providing services to prediction market operators in the state. Andromeda Morrison, the OCCC’s interim executive director, said should these companies continue to continue to support “unregulated and unlicensed gaming through prediction markets, may impact their future and ongoing suitability.” “The notice asks all licensees and applicants to confirm their compliance with that notice no later than October 30,” Morrison told the seven-member commission on Wednesday.
