Ohio governor aims to double sports betting tax rate
Ohio governor Mike DeWine is already looking to double the state’s tax rate for sports betting. In his executive budget, DeWine has proposed changing Ohio’s sports betting tax rate from 10 per cent to 20 per cent.
The revenue would go to schools for athletics and extracurricular activities, to tackle problem gambling and to cover the administrative costs of overseeing sports betting, including monitoring ads for sports gambling apps.
