We’re all eagerly waiting for the launch of sports betting in Ohio. But before Sunday's Jan. 1 arrival, bettors should be grabbing all the elite Ohio promo codes and Ohio sportsbook promos available to them.

Here’s what you need to know in the final days before the top Ohio betting apps go live in the Buckeye State.

How To Get Ohio Sports Betting Promos

Now that you know the Ohio sports betting promos, it’s time to actually register so you can earn them. No matter what operator you choose, the process always looks the same:

1. Begin your registration at the respective operator by clicking on the BET NOW buttons above; enter in the specific promo code if one is required (at some operators, you’ll just need to click the link to unlock it)
2. Provide the operator you’re betting with your personal information so they can verify your identity and make sure you’re allowed to bet; this includes showing you are 21+ years old and located in Ohio
3. Make a qualifying deposit if your operator requires it (those funds, like the welcome bonus offer, will be available to use on Jan. 1)

Can You Use Ohio Sports Betting Promos on College Sports?

Bettors will have access to collegiate games in all states featuring all schools. There are no limitations on games played in Ohio or games featuring Ohio schools like we see in some bordering states (like Illinois). That’s great news for bettors who will have a full spread of games during college football and college basketball season (including March Madness).
