All Ohio Sportsbooks

There are currently 15 online sportsbooks available in Ohio. Some are strong all-around platforms, others work better as secondary or niche options, and a few are simply redundant in a crowded, sportsbook-only market like Ohio.

Below is a ranked, editorial list of Ohio online sportsbooks, based on long-term betting value, depth of markets, mobile app UX, and how much each book actually adds for bettors who have placed wagers before.

Fanatics has the Best Sportsbook Rewards Program in Ohio

Fanatics Sportsbook is centered on its Rewards Program, through which you earn FanCash that can be redeemed for bonus bets or sports merchandise throughout the Fanatics ecosystem. While BetMGM and Caesars also offer loyalty programs, those are more tailored towards casino players. It has an overall smooth and solid betting infrastructure, but doesn't have quite the depth of markets you may find among other top betting sites. For bettors who care about earning rewards toward Buckeyes, Browns, or Bengals merchandise, Fanatics Sportsbook makes sense.

BetMGM is a Reliable All-Around Sportsbook

BetMGM is a well-established sportsbook that delivers a consistently strong betting experience across the board. In Ohio, it offers users reliable live betting markets, good parlay creation tools, and a solid amount of Second Chance and odds boost tokens. If you're looking for a reliable sportsbook that checks most boxes, BetMGM is a good pick for you. Plus, if you're a Reds fan, they have an in-person sportsbook right next to Great American Ballpark where you can earn MGM Rewards.

Caesars is a Clean & Easy-to-Use Betting App

Caesars Sportsbook offers a smooth betting experience that’s easy to use and heavily promo-driven. In Ohio, it stands out for frequent odds boosts, competitive pricing on major markets, and a mobile app that’s approachable for newer bettors. Caesars Rewards members also get access to an all-inclusive club and sports bar at Rocket Arena in Cleveland, adding an extra perk for Cavaliers fans. While it works well for pregame betting, its live betting markets don’t have the same depth as some of the top sportsbooks in the state.

theScore Bet Blends Sports Media and Betting in One App

Following false starts as Barstool Sportsbook and ESPN Bet, Penn Entertainment re-launched their flagship US sportsbook as theScore Bet in December 2025. In Ohio, it offers a clean, modern app that integrates scores, news, and stats directly into the betting experience, along with live streaming for select sports, including NFL. While it’s easy to use and pleasant to browse, its betting markets aren’t as deep as higher-ranked sportsbooks, and its ongoing promotions tend to lag behind competitors.

BetRivers Offers Deep Markets but a Dated App

In Ohio, BetRivers offers bettors a strong depth of betting markets, leagues, and live streaming opportunities of global or niche sports thanks to its integration with the well-respected sportsbook provider Kambi. While BetRivers covers the fundamentals well, its mobile app feels like its from 2010 and its SGP options lag behind most higher-ranked sportsbooks.

Hard Rock Is a Familiar Brand With a Basic Sportsbook

Hard Rock Bet is backed by the well-known Hard Rock casino brand and has a physical sportsbook presence in Ohio at Hard Rock Casino Cincinnati. The online sportsbook itself is serviceable, covering popular markets for major US leagues like the NFL and NBA, with a few unique parlay features such as Flex Parlay. Beyond that, betting tools and market depth are fairly limited, especially for bettors looking to go beyond the basics. Hard Rock Bet works well enough for casual use, but it can feel restrictive if you’re looking for a broader or more varied betting experience.

Bally Bet is a Serviceable Sportsbook that Fails to Stand Out in Ohio

Bally Bet launched in Ohio on day one, but was absent from the market for an extended period before relaunching its app in late 2023. When it returned, bettors found a noticeably improved product, though still not on the level of top US betting sites. Market depth is lacking beyond major sports, and a weak welcome offer makes Bally Bet a tougher sell in a crowded Ohio market. By no means a bad sportsbook, but likely won't be your first choice.

How did you rank all Ohio sportsbooks?

There are many different criteria upon which one can judge a sportsbook. In our reviews, we make sure to highlight the following criteria:

Bonus Offers - How valuable is the sign up bonus? Does this sportsbook offer promotions for existing customers or neglect you once your foot's in the door? This is an opportunity to get value, so thoroughly evaluating bonus and promotional offers are very important to determine the true value of a sportsbook.
Betting Variety - Does a sportsbook offer advanced ways to play like Same Game Parlays? How is the live betting? Can you access an online casino from your sports betting account? A sportsbook must satisfy the needs of many different types of players to be considered elite
Mobile Experience - How is the sportsbook's mobile app? Is it available on iPhone and Android? Most bets are placed via a mobile device these days, so this is a major element of any sportsbook's overall experience.
Betting Experience - How does a sportsbook feel? Is the website or app laggy? Does it feel laggy, messy, or outdated? You want to make sure you'll actually have fun on a betting site, not frustrated by your time on the book.
Payment Options - How many payment options are available? How long do payouts take? Are there minimum requirements for payments and withdrawals? If you want to be secure with your hard-earned money, then this is a crucial element of any sportsbook.
Customer Support - If an issue arises, will you be able to easily get in contact with customer support? Is it hard to get in contact with an actual person? Hopefully, you won't need it but having a spare tire in your trunk never hurts.
