Good betting sites for Ohio?

[Glideable]

Hello community and chatroomers. Are there any trusted (better licensed by local regulators) betting sites/platforms for Ohio residents? If there's an app that would be great. I am ok with crypto betting sites as well. Danke.

Yo Glideable! Ohio resident here. DraftKings and FanDuel are both solid choices. They've got apps and they're fully licensed. Can't go wrong with either.

@Glideable Bet MGM is another good option for OH. Their app is pretty user-friendly and they often have decent promos for new users.

Don't forget about Caesars Sportsbook! They're licensed in Ohio and their odds are usually pretty competitive. Plus, their app is smooth af.

Hey Glideable, if you're into crypto, check out Stake. They accept OH players and have a huge selection of sports and esports to bet on.

 

[Glideable]

Thanks for the quick responses! @timmy666 and @Sugarbear, I'll definitely look into those mainstream options.
@TirionL, Stake sounds interesting - do you use it yourself?

Just a heads up, make sure you're using sites that are actually licensed in Ohio. Some offshore sites might accept OH players, but you won't have any legal protection if things go south.

PointsBet is another solid choice for Ohio. Their "PointsBetting" feature can be fun if you're feeling lucky, but be careful - you can lose (or win) a lot more than your initial stake.

Yo Glideable, I've been using BetRivers in OH for a while now. Their odds are decent and they have a good rewards program. Worth checking out imo.

@TirionL, I'm definitely intrigued by Stake. Have you had any issues with deposits or withdrawals?
@Sarah, thanks for the warning - I'll make sure to stick to Ohio-licensed sites.

Another vote for DraftKings here. Their app is slick and they usually have good promos around big events like March Madness or the Super Bowl.

@TirionL, I'm definitely intrigued by Stake. Have you had any issues with deposits or withdrawals?

@Glideable Nah, never had any problems with Stake. Deposits and withdrawals are quick, especially if you're using crypto. Just remember to use a VPN if you decide to go that route.

Word of advice: sign up for multiple books and shop for the best lines. Can make a big difference in your profits over time. Just don't spread yourself too thin!

Hey Glideable, don't sleep on Barstool Sportsbook. They're licensed in OH and their app is pretty fun to use. Plus, they have some unique prop bets you won't find elsewhere.

 

[Glideable]

Thanks everyone! Looks like I've got plenty of options to choose from. @Leg0, that's a great tip - I'll probably sign up for 2-3 to start with and see how it goes.

Just my two cents, but I'd avoid crypto betting sites if you're new to this. Stick with the regulated OH books until you get a feel for things. Less chance of getting scammed.

@Glideable If you're into horse racing at all, TVG is a good option. They're partnered with FanDuel now, so you can use the same account for both.

Crypto bettor here. If you go that route, make sure you understand the tech first. It's not hard, but there's a learning curve. Feel free to DM if you need help!

 

[Glideable]

Thanks for all the advice, folks! I think I'll start with DraftKings and BetMGM, and maybe check out Stake once I'm more comfortable. Really appreciate all the help!

Late to the party, but don't forget about responsible gambling tools. Most legit sites have options to set deposit limits, time limits, etc. Use 'em!
