Hall of Fame Resort & Entertainment Co. said it has secured conditional approval for sports betting licenses in Ohio.
The Ohio Casino Control Commission granted the company the required approval for it to receive licensing for a physical sports operation, called a sportsbook, as well as an online betting platform, the company said Wednesday.
Sports betting will become legal in Ohio on Jan. 1, and anyone in the state that is of legal betting age will be able to place wagers, the company said.
The company previously announced 10-year partnerships with Rush Street Interactive Inc. as its official retail sports-betting partner and Betr as its official mobile sports-betting partner.
