  • The Ohio Casino Control Commission reported more than $1 billion in sports betting handle for November
  • It was just the second month ever Ohio has cracked $1 billion in total sports betting handle
  • November was also the second most lucrative month in Ohio sports betting history

Ohio sports bettors did something for just the second time last month since the Buckeye State launched sports betting in January 2023.

The Ohio Casino Control Commission recently reported more than $1 billion in total Ohio sports betting for the month of November, just the second time state sports bettors have cracked $1 billion in handle since the 2023 launch.

Additionally, Ohio also experienced the second most lucrative month of sports betting as well.

$1 Billion in Handle For Second Time

The $1,024,326,837 in November sports betting handle is only the second month Ohio sports betting had eclipsed the $1 billion mark. The last time the state did so was during its first month of operation, January 2023, which saw $1,113,591,970 in total handle.

In addition to the massive amount of handle activity, the Ohio Casino Control Commission reported $117,044,624 in taxable sports betting revenue for November, the second most lucrative month in the state’s sports betting history.

At the state’s 20% tax rate, Ohio took in more than $23.4 million in sports betting tax revenue for November. While the total was the second most ever, it paled in comparison to January 2023 when Ohio reported a whopping $208,518,576 in taxable revenue.

Through November, the state has reported $847,149,368 in total taxable sports betting revenue in 2024. This has led to $169,429,873 in sports betting tax revenue through the first 11 months of the year.
