Ohio Legislator Proposes Online Gambling Legislation, Receives Widespread Backing
Local casinos in the United States might face a new legislative push, as a bill is being proposed to incentivize them to manage their own online gaming operations. The proposed bill could impose one of the highest tax rates in the country, potentially reaching up to 40%.
Key supporters of the bill, unnamed as of now, also aim to legalize online casinos across the nation. However, specific details about this legislation, including its location and the exact tax rate, remain unclear at present.
It should be noted that Ohio recently introduced House Bill 298, which aims to legalize online casino gambling. This bill proposes a 28% tax rate and would only allow companies currently operating brick-and-mortar casinos and racinos in Ohio to be eligible for online licenses. Protective measures like limiting each licensee to one online gambling platform and banning promotional gaming credits specific to online gambling are included in the bill to ensure the survival of land-based casinos [2][3].
