Online Casinos in Ohio

Although Ohio has a long tradition with some great land-based casinos, it has not legalized online casinos. There have been discussions of legalizing online casinos, but there are no concrete plans in place at this time.  

Ohio does have a state lottery, which can indicate an openness to other forms of betting.

But, you can still register with a legal online casino while you’re in Pennsylvania or New Jersey. That means you can get the casino’s bonus offers or deposit, and then play whenever you’re in states where it’s legal (even in a layover at the airport or passing through). Here are some great values available now:
