The market
Ohio opened with a wide field of operators on day one, then doubled its tax from 10% to 20% inside the first year. The launch was one of the most promotion-heavy in recent memory. It has since settled into a mature, competitive market.
What this means for matched betting
The launch rush, when offers were unusually generous, is over, and Ohio is now a normal competitive market. Thirteen operators is one of the wider fields in the country, so finding a book to cover a bet is rarely the problem. The 20% tax keeps offers moderate but regular.
