Online Casinos in Ohio

Although Ohio has a long tradition with some great land-based casinos, it has not legalized online casinos. There have been discussions of legalizing online casinos, but there are noconcrete plans in place at this time.

Ohio does have a state lottery, which can indicate an openness to other forms of betting.

But, you can still register with a legal online casino while you're in Ohio. That means you can get the casino's bonus offers or deposit, and then play whenever you're in states whereit's legal (even in a layover at the airport). (Do be aware of the casino bonus's expiry date, though.)
