$5,000 Welcome Bonus
Ohio is due to launch sports gambling on January 1, 2023. The state is also keen to protect consumers. A new program called Pause Before You Play is based on the Get Set Before you Bet problem gambling education program.
The structure of sports gambling in Ohio makes it easy for people to place bets in real-time.
In states that preceded Ohio in legalizing sports betting, there were higher interest and more struggles with problem gambling.
Ohio introduced a new program to combat problem gambling. Sports gamblers and casino gambers are at the highest risk of developing an addiction. The Problem Gambling Helpline is available 24/7 at 1-800-589-9966 or by texting 4HOPE to 741741.
The challenges of problem gambling go far beyond the person placing a bet. Families, children, and businesses all face consequences with a person's gambling addiction.
