Ohio Implements Ban on NCAA Player Prop Bets

The move aims to protect student-athletes from harassment and ensure the integrity of college sports.

The Ohio Casino Control Commission (OCCC) has implemented a ban on player-specific prop bets on NCAA sports, effective immediately.
This decision comes in response to a request from the NCAA, supported by Ohio Governor Mike DeWine, aimed at protecting student-athletes from harassment and preserving the integrity of college sports.
Sports betting operators in Ohio are required to remove the option for prop betting on individual athletes' performances by March 1.
The ban is expected to impact less than 1.4% of the total sports wagers and taxable revenue in Ohio, according to OCCC estimates.
Prop bets on team outcomes or statistical results will still be permitted, maintaining some level of proposition betting within the state.
