Ohio online sports betting goes live after the stroke of midnight on January 1, 2023. Sports Betting Dime wants to launch it before then in time for this year's Peach Bowl between Georgia Bulldogs and Ohio State Buckeyes. They are asking for the help of their readers to sign a petition on change.org to get the petition's supporters to the cause.

The 2022 Peach Bowl game between the Ohio State Buckeyes and Georgia Bulldogs is scheduled for 8pm ET on December 31. Online sports betting in Ohio is supposed to start at 12:01 am ET. The Buckeye's are the most popular college football team in the nation with 11.26 million fans. 70% of Ohio's population is over 21. You can sign the petition to change the start time of online sports gambling in state.

Ohio missed out on sports betting for the Peach Bowl. Colorado saw nearly $25 million in college football betting handle from December 2021. The Peachbowl is expected to generate between $50 million and $75 million. Ohio has the lowest population but the highest hold rate. With a 10% state tax, Ohio's tax revenue from sports gambling could rival these states. The money from the sports bets could be used to support education, youth sports programs, and people with gambling problems. If the game was allowed to launch at 12:01 am ET on January 1st, the revenue made from it would go to the state.

There are plenty of reasons why Ohio online sports betting should launch early. Sign the petition to get it done. It's free and only takes a minute. It will help change the course of Ohio sports gambling.
