This article is part of our Ohio Betting News series.
Ohio is one of the next states to launch legal sports betting, and the date is set for January 1, 2023. Bettors in the state have that date circled on their calendars, but that does not mean you need to wait until 2023 to take advantage of what Ohio will offer.
In this article, we take a look at the sports betting offers available in Ohio, which sportsbooks are set to launch in the state, and a look at the latest timeline for sports wagering in Ohio.
Sports Betting Offers To Take Advantage Of Today In Ohio
Even with sports betting launching in Ohio on January 1, 2023, there are still Ohio betting promos you can take advantage of right away. These promotions at DraftKings Ohio and FanDuel Ohio will net you $300 in free bets on launch day, just for signing up. Let's look into these offers.
First is the DraftKings Ohio promo code, which offers Ohio bettors $200 in free bets along with a chance to win a $100K free bet with an entry into the "$100,000 Free Bet Sweepstakes". One lucky winner will have a chance to use a $100K free bet in Ohio.
Second, bettors can use the FanDuel Ohio promo code and get $100 in free bets just for signing up at FanDuel Sportsbook Ohio. In addition, reports say that sports bettors in Ohio will be able to redeem the No Sweat First Bet offer worth up to $1,000 at launch too, making this a terrific bonus for Ohio bettors.
This offer combined with the DraftKings Ohio offers gives bettors $300 in free bets right off the bat. Whether more pre-live bonuses will surface remains to be seen, but Ohio bettors certainly will be able to boost their bankrolls ahead of launch day.
