Is DraftKings legal in Ohio?

Yes, DraftKings is legal in Ohio. As of late 2021, sports betting has not yet been launched in the state, but legislation to legalize it has been passed. Specifically, House Bill 29, which was signed into law by Governor Mike DeWine in December 2021, sets the framework for legal sports betting, including mobile and online wagering. DraftKings, being one of the leading operators in the sports betting industry, is expected to be a key player in Ohio's market once operations commence. The law includes provisions for up to 25 online sportsbook licenses, so platforms like DraftKings are anticipated to apply for and receive licensure to offer services to Ohio residents once the system is fully operational.
