The decision was made as part of a budget agreement negotiated by the Ohio House of Representatives and Senate for fiscal year 2024-2025. Governor Mike DeWine signed the law shortly after the budget went into effect, following his prior request to raise the tax rate just a month after Ohio legalized sports betting.<\/p>\n<p>The plan to raise the tax rate gathered pace after the Ohio House of Representatives issued its budget in April, which did not contain the tax rate increase for sports betting. However, on June 15th, the Senate modified the budget and included the tax rate hike clause.<\/p>\n<div class=\"main-org-3-item-ins box-100 relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-items box-100 relative\">\n<div class=\"box-100 space-org-3-item relative border-tb mt-1 \">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-ins box-100 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo box-25 relative mb-10\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo-ins box-100 text-center relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-logo-title-box box-100 text-left relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo-box box-25 relative img-radius\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/mirax.partners\/a5279d0cf\" title=\"Visit Site\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><br \/>\n\t\t<amp-img alt=\"Mirax Casino\" src=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Mirax-Casino.png\" width=\"50\" height=\"50\" layout=\"fixed\"><br \/>\n\t\t<\/amp-img><br \/>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo-title box-25 relative\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/mirax.partners\/a5279d0cf\" title=\"Mirax Casino\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Mirax Casino<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-terms box-25 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-terms-ins box-100 text-center relative\">\n\t\t<strong>350% or 5BTC + <strong>150 Spins!<\/strong><\/strong><br \/>\n\t\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"pt-1\">New players only.

The state now has 18 active sports betting sites, which is adding to the market\u2019s expansion.<\/p>\n<p>Ohio\u2019s sports betting market has produced approximately $507.08 million in taxable revenue since its debut in January. This revenue would have resulted in more than $50.7 million in taxes under the former 10% tax rate. The tax revenue would have more than doubled to $101.4 million under the new 20% tax rate.<\/p>\n<p>According to the state, the increased tax rate will generate an additional $100-$135 million in tax revenue per year. The majority of this revenue will go to the Sports Gaming Profits Education Fund, with the remaining 2% going to the Problem Sports Gaming Fund.<\/p>\n<div class=\"main-org-3-item-ins box-100 relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-items box-100 relative\">\n<div class=\"box-100 space-org-3-item relative border-tb mt-1 \">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-ins box-100 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo box-25 relative mb-10\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo-ins box-100 text-center relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-logo-title-box box-100 text-left relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo-box box-25 relative img-radius\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/record.revmasters.com\/_a1BXbZV3uxxVQ9qiBeFuTWNd7ZgqdRLk\/1\/\" title=\"Visit Site\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><br \/>\n\t\t<amp-img alt=\"BetUS\" src=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/BetUS.png\" width=\"50\" height=\"50\" layout=\"fixed\"><br \/>\n\t\t<\/amp-img><br \/>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo-title box-25 relative\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/record.revmasters.com\/_a1BXbZV3uxxVQ9qiBeFuTWNd7ZgqdRLk\/1\/\" title=\"BetUS\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">BetUS<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-terms box-25 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-terms-ins box-100 text-center relative\">\n\t\t<strong><strong>Get 125% \/ $2,500 on 1st deposit!<\/strong><\/strong><br \/>\n\t\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"pt-1\">New players only.

Some critics claim that the higher tax rate will make it impossible for smaller platforms to operate in Ohio.
