This Thursday, a Bill was introduced in Ohio calling for gaming expansion and legalization of online and retail sports betting in the State.

The Bill was laid by, according to various reports, State Sen. Kirk Schuring (R-Canton), Chairman of the Ohio Senate Select Committee on Gaming laying the powerful plan for the same.

The Bill along with demands to legalize sports betting also seeks to expand gaming- including eBingo and iLottery.

As per Gambling.com, Schuring said: “This bill is about the free market. It’s about saying to those that want to get into sports gaming, eBingo, lottery form of gaming, iLottery — everybody is going to have to participate and be a part of the process. There is not going to be any prescriptive language in the legislation that would give someone special preference.”

He added: “Gaming is here today in Ohio. All we want to do is put guardrails around it to make sure it’s done correctly and make sure folks that are working in the black market cannot hurt Ohioans.”
