Caesars introduces mobile and retail sports betting in Ohio

The leading casino and entertainment company in the US, Caesars Entertainment, announced its official launch into the regulated sports betting market in Ohio. On Sunday, the company revealed eligible customers in the state can now use its Caesars Sportsbook retail locations and Caesars sportsbook app to place wagers on sporting events.

Back in December 2021, lawmakers in Ohio legalized sports betting. Still, it wasn't until January 1, 2023, that the launch of the activity was set. Coinciding with the start of the new year, Caesars introduced its leading services for sports fans in the state. As a result, Ohioans can now visit two Caesars Sportsbook locations that already started accepting bets.

The first location is Caesars' brand new sportsbook at Eldorado Gaming Scioto Downs where visitors can place a sports wager via a self-service betting kiosk or use a betting window. On the other hand, Caesars also introduced a retail betting location at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse, a leading sports facility in Northeast Ohio that is also the home of the Cleveland Cavaliers.

The new Caesars Sportsbook location at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse has more than 10,000 square foot area and marks a natural step in the partnership between Caesars and the Cleveland Cavaliers. In fact, under the terms of a deal with the famous NBA team, the company was designated an Official Casino Partner and Official Sports Betting Partner.

Eric Hession, Caesars Digital's President, shared his excitement in a statement released on January 1, 2023, saying: "Caesars Sportsbook is ready to offer a top-of-the-line sports betting experience to Ohioans." Finally, he pointed out: "We look forward to providing an added level of excitement to the sports entertainment experience, whether they use our mobile app or visit one of our new retail sportsbooks in Columbus or Cleveland."

Besides retail locations, Ohio residents can now use the company's mobile app. According to Caesars, upon registering, first-time customers in the state can now take advantage of special sign-up offers. In addition to unique offers for new customers, Caesars offers rewards via Caesars Rewards, its leading customer loyalty program.

Upon placing wagers, Ohioans can now collect both Tier Credits and Reward Credits. Using those credits, sports bettors can unlock unmatched experiences such as tickets, merchandise, once-in-a-lifetime experiences or discounts for different Caesars Entertainment locations around the US.

But offering supreme experiences isn't the only goal for Caesars. The company is a strong supporter of responsible gaming and provides invaluable training for its members. Caesars Sportsbook mobile app offers responsible gaming tools that encourage consumers to enjoy betting responsibly. Bettors can set time limits, set cool-off periods, spend limits and use other responsible gaming tools.
