After a two-hour delay due to budget hearings, the Ohio Select Committee on Gaming met for a 14th time for approximately five minutes Wednesday afternoon to announce changes to the proposed sports betting bill, SB 176…

Operators will pay $500,000 for both Type A and Type B licenses in the second and third years of operation. The initial fee to do business in Ohio is $1 million. In the original version of the bill, operators would have paid $1 million per year for each of the first three years.

Esports have been folded into the bill and patrons will be able to wager on them.
