Director: Some Ohio Sports Betting Hopefuls Acting Like 'Petulant Children'

The first five online sportsbook licenses for Ohio sports betting were approved on Wednesday. Matt Schuler, the executive director of the Ohio Casino Control Commission, is disappointed with some of their applicants. The first online sport's betting in Ohio will launch after midnight on January 1.

Schuler is unhappy with the number of people calling about applications. He thinks some people think their application is more important than others. The deadline for submitting applications is Wednesday.

Schuler is angry with his staff for asking him strange questions during a webinar held Tuesday.

Director of the Ohio Sports Betting Commission is upset with some of his applicants for the commission. He wants them to be put on the agenda and not answer questions. He also wants to talk to them about professional courtesy.

Bet365, Betfred, Caesars, PointsBet, Scioto Downs, SuperBook and US Integrity were approved as sportsbook operators. Six suppliers, 37 Ohio Lottery locations and integrity monitor US integrity were also licensed. The commission gave final approval to proposed rules for the market.
