- Ohio Governor Mike DeWine complied with the NCAA’s request to prohibit local sportsbooks from offering college prop bets in 2024.
- However, internationally-licensed and regulated sportsbooks can legally offer college football props in Ohio since they fall under the purview of international regulations.
- The best player prop for Ohio State vs Texas is Jeremiah Smith to clear 80+ receiving yards at BetOnline Sportsbook.
COLUMBUS, Ohio – State-regulated sportsbooks in Ohio won’t have college football props for Ohio State vs Texas, but this doesn’t mean locals are out of luck. BetOnline Sportsbook has no restrictions in the state since they’re internationally regulated, meaning they can offer legal sports betting props for the Buckeyes and Longhorns on Saturday.
Why Can’t Some Ohio Sportsbooks Have College Prop Betting?
According to the Ohio Casino Control Commission’s catalogue, sportsbooks regulated by the state are prohibited from offering:
“Any proposition or “prop” bet on an individual athlete’s performance or statistics participating in a sporting event governed by the NCAA. Proposition bets are only permitted on NCAA governed events if they are based on full team statistical results and meet the following criteria…”
That prevents FanDuel and DraftKings from offering Ohio State player props, but it doesn’t impact any of the offerings at BetOnline. BetOnline is one of the few legal college football betting sites that can offer player props in Ohio due to their international regulation and licensing. They’ve legally accepted Ohio players for over 10 years and will continue to do so for the 2025 college football season and beyond.
