Ohio Authorized Gambling Providers 2026: License Lookup, Legal Entities and Status

Ohio does not publish one universal list covering every gambling provider. The correct lookup depends on whether the product is casino gaming, sports gaming, fantasy contests, skill games, video lottery or horse racing.

Authorization must be matched to the exact legal entity, license class and current status. A recognized brand, app, venue partner, supplier relationship or revenue record does not by itself prove current Ohio authorization.

Ohio license verification

How do I verify an Ohio gambling provider?

As of July 16, 2026, Ohio does not use one universal “authorized providers” list. The Ohio Casino Control Commission and Ohio eLicense cover casino, sports-gaming, fantasy-contest and skill-game licenses; Ohio Lottery controls VLT sales agents and Type C active-selling status; the Racing Commission controls racing permits. Verify the product, legal entity, license type, current status, operating or selling flag and checked date. A familiar brand, app listing, venue partnership or revenue row does not by itself prove current Ohio authorization.

Casino, sports, fantasy or skill Use the OCCC license class and exact Ohio eLicense legal-entity record.
VLT or Type C selling Use the applicable OCCC record plus the separate Ohio Lottery record.
Horse racing Use Ohio State Racing Commission licensing and current track records.
Not sufficient Brand recognition, an app listing, partner wording, a revenue row or a working account.

Ohio Provider Verification in 90 Seconds

The complete cross-product license-verification answer before the deeper evidence sections.
Question Direct answer Controlling source Main boundary Exact next check
Is there one universal Ohio authorized-provider list? No. Ohio uses separate license systems by product and agency. OCCC licensing, Ohio eLicense, Ohio Lottery and Racing Commission records. One registry cannot prove every product. Identify the product before searching the entity.
Which gambling products use OCCC and Ohio eLicense? Casino gaming, sports gaming, fantasy contests and skill-based amusement machines. OCCC Licensing and Renewal plus Ohio eLicense. Different products use different license classes. Search the exact legal entity under the correct license type.
Who verifies Ohio VLT providers? Ohio Lottery controls video-lottery sales-agent and related VLT evidence. Ohio Lottery VLT Central and applicable Lottery records. A VLT record does not authorize commercial casino tables. Match the exact VLT entity and facility.
Who verifies Type C active-selling status? OCCC controls the Type C proprietor license; Ohio Lottery separately controls active selling. Current OCCC Type C roster plus Lottery proprietor status. Active license does not equal active selling. Require both current records.
Who verifies Ohio racing permits? The Ohio State Racing Commission controls the racing-license and track layer. Racing Commission licensing and racetrack records. A racing license does not prove VLT or sports-gaming authority. Match the person or entity to the exact racing license.
Which entity and license fields must match? Product, consumer brand, legal entity, DBA, license type, number, status, conditions and checked date. Exact official license record. Similar names and shared branding are not enough. Save the full legal name and license number.
Does an Active license mean the provider is operating? No. Sports records publish a separate Currently Operating field; Type C uses a separate selling field. Current roster and Lottery status page. Active may coexist with No or inactive selling. Read both status fields.
Does a listed partnership prove that every partner is licensed? No. A roster can identify a commercial relationship without proving the same license for every named party. Roster disclaimer plus each entity’s eLicense record. Partnership evidence is not license substitution. Search each legal entity separately.
Does a consumer brand or app listing prove authorization? No. It can identify a product but cannot replace the official legal-entity record. Official license registry. Apps, sites and labels can change faster than licenses. Match publisher and terms to the licensee.
What evidence should the user save? Legal entity, license type/number, status, operating or selling flag, conditions, source URL and checked timestamp. Official record plus user-specific account or transaction evidence. A screenshot alone may become stale. Save both the record and its checked date.

Current Ohio gambling-provider status snapshot

This table gives completed current conclusions without pretending that every dynamic vendor, supplier, fantasy or skill-game roster can be frozen permanently into one article.

Current cross-product status checked July 16, 2026.
Provider category Current verified conclusion Current examples or count Controlling lookup Required boundary
Commercial casino facilities Ohio has four constitutionally authorized commercial casino facilities. JACK Cleveland, Hollywood Columbus, Hard Rock Cincinnati and Hollywood Toledo. OCCC/eLicense for the exact operator entity; casino page for venue evidence. Facility brand does not identify every licensed vendor or service.
Casino management and gaming-related vendors The roster is dynamic and must be searched by legal entity and license class. No permanent total is reliable without a release-day eLicense export. Ohio eLicense and OCCC resolutions. Vendor status is not casino-operator authority.
Type A mobile sports gaming 13 partnerships are marked Active and Currently Operating: Yes. Use the authorized-sportsbooks page for the complete current roster. July 15 OCCC roster plus eLicense. A partnership does not prove every named party holds the same license.
Type B retail sports gaming 13 facilities are marked Active and Currently Operating: Yes. Use the authorized-sportsbooks page for the complete facility list. July 15 OCCC roster plus eLicense. Retail authority does not create Type A mobile authority.
Type C proprietors and selling status Two proprietor licenses are active, but only one product is listed as active selling. Gold Rush: active license/inactive selling. Green Bear/UBet Ohio: active/active selling. OCCC Type C roster plus Ohio Lottery proprietor status. OCCC Active does not equal Lottery Active Selling.
Sports suppliers, laboratories and monitors Supplier licenses are dynamic; the current roster separately identifies two certified laboratories and three integrity monitors. BMM and GLI; IC360, IBIA and Sportradar. SDSV and Score Media are verified June supplier-renewal examples. OCCC roster, eLicense and resolutions. Supplier, lab or monitor status is not consumer sportsbook authority.
Fantasy-contest operators Every current operator must be verified through the fantasy license class in eLicense. DraftKings/DK Crown Holdings, FanDuel and RealTime Fantasy Sports have verified 2026 renewal evidence. Ohio eLicense and adopted OCCC resolutions. Examples are not the complete current roster.
Skill-based amusement machines Operators, vendors, applicable locations and games require separate records. Lovely Crokos and Arcade Empire doing business as Claw Zone are verified June 2026 examples. Ohio eLicense, OCCC skill licensing and game approval. One operator license does not prove every location, vendor or game.
VLT sales agents and related providers Ohio’s VLT program operates at seven racino facilities under the Lottery layer. Use the Ohio racinos page for the complete seven-property answer. Ohio Lottery VLT Central and entity records. VLT authority does not create commercial casino-table authority.
Racing permits and licensees Racing permits and participant licenses use the separate Racing Commission system. Track- and participant-specific; no universal provider total is available from this separate system. Racing Commission licensing and racetrack records. Racing authority does not prove VLT or sportsbook authority.

Brand, licensee, proprietor and provider are different entities

Record each layer separately before concluding that a product is authorized.
Entity label What it means Representative example What it can prove What it cannot prove
Consumer brand The public name seen in an app, venue or marketing page. DraftKings, FanDuel, UBet Ohio or Hard Rock Bet. Which product the user is trying to identify. The licensed legal entity or product-specific authority.
DBA / trade name A public name used by a different underlying legal entity. Arcade Empire doing business as Claw Zone. The relationship between a public label and legal entity when documented. A license outside the recorded class.
Legal licensee The exact entity named in the official license record. DK Crown Holdings Inc. for the cited fantasy license. Who holds that exact license class. Another product license under the same brand.
Proprietor An entity holding the relevant proprietor authority or market-access relationship. One Type A or Type B proprietor in the current roster. The proprietor role in that specific product record. That every partner is separately licensed.
Management or services provider A separate entity supplying operation, platform or management services. A mobile or retail sports-gaming services provider. The documented services relationship. Authority outside the licensed service class.
Supplier or vendor An entity supplying technology, equipment, data, games or other regulated services. A sports supplier or casino gaming-related vendor. Authorization to perform the specified supplier/vendor role. Consumer account or operator authority.
Host or location The physical site where a separately licensed product can be offered. A Type C host or skill-game location. The product/location relationship when current. The operator, vendor or game record by itself.
Laboratory or integrity monitor A certified testing or monitoring entity. BMM, GLI, IC360, IBIA or Sportradar. The certified testing or monitoring role. That it operates a consumer gambling product.

How to verify an Ohio gambling provider step by step

  1. 1

    Identify the exact gambling product

    Choose casino, Type A sports, Type B sports, Type C sports, fantasy contest, skill game, VLT or horse racing before selecting a registry.

  2. 2

    Choose the correct regulator

    Use OCCC/eLicense for casino, sports, fantasy and skill records; Ohio Lottery for VLT and active-selling evidence; Racing Commission for racing licenses.

  3. 3

    Capture the consumer-facing identity

    Save the brand, app publisher, website legal terms, venue name and any DBA before searching.

  4. 4

    Search the exact legal entity

    Do not search only the brand. Match punctuation, suffixes, DBA and state registration wording where shown.

  5. 5

    Open the exact license class

    Confirm that the result is the required operator, proprietor, provider, supplier, vendor, host, location, fantasy, skill or racing class.

  6. 6

    Read every current status field

    Record Active, Inactive, Surrendered or Withdrawn plus operating, selling, dates, expiration, renewal and conditions.

  7. 7

    Cross-check the product relationship

    Use current rosters, Lottery status, resolutions and current product terms only as supporting evidence after the license record is identified.

  8. 8

    Save the record and checked date

    Preserve the license number, source URL, screenshot or PDF, timestamp and any user-specific account or transaction record before relying on the conclusion.

Six Ohio provider claims resolved with the correct record

Separate Ohio product and legal-entity records

“DraftKings is licensed, so one license covers sports and fantasy”

Sports layer: the current sports roster uses a product-specific proprietor/provider relationship.

Fantasy layer: the cited fantasy license belongs to DK Crown Holdings Inc.

Correct conclusion: verify the DraftKings legal entity and license class separately for each product.

Separate Ohio casino and sports-gaming authority

“FanDuel is one legal entity across every Ohio product”

Sports evidence: the current sports relationship identifies its sports-gaming legal entity.

Fantasy evidence: the fantasy renewal identifies FanDuel Inc.

Correct conclusion: a shared consumer brand does not collapse separate legal entities and licenses.

Ohio Type C license and active-selling status

“Hard Rock Casino and Hard Rock Bet use the same license”

Casino layer: the casino facility and casino operator use Chapter 3772 records.

Sports layer: sports gaming uses separate proprietor/provider and Type A or Type B records.

Correct conclusion: verify the casino and sportsbook products independently.

Ohio skill-game operator, vendor, location and game layers

“UBet Ohio is authorized because its OCCC license is active”

First record: Green Bear Gaming Development has an active Type C proprietor license.

Second record: Ohio Lottery lists UBet Ohio as active selling.

Correct conclusion: current Type C availability requires both records.

Separate supplier and consumer-operator roles

“One skill-game operator license proves the whole venue”

Entity layer: operator, vendor and applicable location records can be separate.

Product layer: the exact game may require separate approval.

Correct conclusion: verify operator → vendor/location → approved game.

Preserved Ohio provider evidence packet

“A supplier or testing laboratory is an authorized sportsbook”

Evidence: suppliers, laboratories and integrity monitors have distinct regulated roles.

Evidence gap: those roles do not establish consumer-account or proprietor authority.

Correct conclusion: use the exact supplier, laboratory, monitor or proprietor class—never the generic word provider.

Current Ohio provider-license updates checked in 2026

DraftKings and FanDuel fantasy renewals

DK Crown Holdings and FanDuel received fantasy-contest-operator license renewals for periods not exceeding three years.

Fantasy, sports-supplier and skill-game actions

RealTime Fantasy Sports was renewed; SDSV and Score Media received supplier renewals; Lovely Crokos and Arcade Empire/Claw Zone received skill-game licenses.

Current sports-gaming roster

The current roster supports 13 operating Type A partnerships, 13 operating Type B facilities and the current Type C, laboratory and monitor distinctions.

Cross-agency records rechecked

OCCC/eLicense, Ohio Lottery and Racing Commission records remain separate. No single source proves every product.

Common Ohio provider claims that need correction

Correct the entity, product and status field before relying on an authorization claim.
Common claim Why it is incomplete Correct conclusion Controlling check
“Ohio has one approved-provider list.” Ohio uses product- and agency-specific registries. Select the product and regulator first. OCCC/eLicense, Lottery or Racing Commission.
“The brand name appears, so the brand is the licensee.” The licensed entity may use a different corporate name or DBA. Match the brand to the exact legal entity. License record plus current legal terms.
“Active means currently available.” Sports and Type C records use separate operating or selling fields. Require the applicable second status field. Active + Operating or Active + Active Selling.
“Every listed partner is licensed.” A roster can describe a relationship without substituting for each entity’s license. Search every legal entity separately. Individual eLicense records.
“The app is available, so it is authorized.” App distribution and state licensure are separate evidence. Match the publisher and terms to the exact licensee. Official license registry.
“A revenue row proves the current license.” Reports can contain historical labels or adjustments. Use revenue only as secondary activity evidence. Current license and status record.
“A supplier or vendor is an operator.” Supplier/vendor roles and consumer-operation authority are separate classes. Describe the exact regulated role. License-type field.
“A current license proves the provider is safe or reliable.” Licensure does not establish account acceptance, support, withdrawals or user outcomes. Treat authorization and service quality as different questions. License record plus separate user/account evidence.

Official source snapshot

License status is controlled by the exact official product record. Rosters, resolutions, Lottery pages, racing records and revenue reports can support that conclusion, but they cannot substitute for the wrong license class or a user-specific account record.

When provider research should stop

  • You are opening another licensed account after losses.Another authorized provider does not reset financial risk.
  • You are treating licensure as proof that gambling is safe.Authorization is not a profit, affordability or personal-safety guarantee.
  • You are switching apps, venues or products to recover money.Changing providers or license types does not recover prior losses.
  • A KYC or withdrawal problem is leading to new deposits elsewhere.Stop transactions and preserve the original provider’s records first.
  • You are researching providers mainly to find more promotions.Close the commercial pages and review the complete financial exposure.
  • You are trying to bypass age, location, exclusion or identity controls.Do not use another person, device, account or location.
  • Borrowed or essential money is being used.Stop and contact a support service.
  • Debt, secrecy, stress, urgency or loss chasing appears.Call Ohio support at 1-800-589-9966 or call/text 1-800-MY-RESET.

Ohio Authorized Providers FAQ

What is an authorized Ohio gambling provider?

It is a legal entity holding the product-specific Ohio license, certification, permission or permit required for its exact role. A consumer brand alone is not the controlling license record.

Does Ohio have one official list of every gambling provider?

No. Casino, sports-gaming, fantasy and skill-game records use OCCC and Ohio eLicense, while VLT, Type C selling and racing evidence use separate agency records.

How do I verify an Ohio Casino Control Commission license?

Identify the exact product and legal entity, then search Ohio eLicense for the matching license type, number, status, dates and conditions.

Which agency licenses Ohio casino operators and vendors?

The Ohio Casino Control Commission regulates commercial casino gaming and applicable operator, employee, management and gaming-related-vendor licenses.

How do I verify an Ohio sportsbook?

Use the current OCCC proprietor and services-provider roster, then confirm each relevant legal entity and license class in Ohio eLicense.

Does an Active Ohio gambling license mean the provider is operating?

No. Sports-gaming records publish a separate Currently Operating field, and Type C products require a separate Ohio Lottery active-selling check.

Does a partner listed beside a proprietor share the proprietor’s license?

Not automatically. A roster can describe a business relationship without establishing that every named partner holds the same license.

How do I verify an Ohio Type C sports-gaming provider?

Confirm the proprietor license through the OCCC record, then confirm active-selling status through Ohio Lottery. Both evidence layers are required.

Who licenses Ohio racino and VLT providers?

Ohio Lottery controls the video-lottery sales-agent and related VLT layer. Racing permits and physical sportsbook licenses remain separate records.

Who licenses Ohio fantasy-contest operators?

The Ohio Casino Control Commission licenses fantasy-contest operators. The complete current legal-entity roster should be checked through Ohio eLicense.

Who licenses Ohio skill-game operators and locations?

The Ohio Casino Control Commission licenses applicable skill-game operators, vendors and locations and separately approves eligible games.

Who licenses Ohio horse-racing providers?

The Ohio State Racing Commission controls the racing-license and permit layer. That record does not establish VLT, casino or sports-gaming authority.

Can one gambling brand use different legal entities in Ohio?

Yes. A public brand can use different corporate entities and license classes for sports gaming, fantasy contests, casino services or other products.

Does a revenue report or app listing prove an Ohio license?

No. Revenue and app evidence can support recent product identity or activity, but the current official license record controls authorization.

Does an Ohio license guarantee KYC approval or fast withdrawals?

No. Authorization does not guarantee account acceptance, identity approval, payment speed, customer support quality or complaint outcome.

Where can I report an unlicensed provider or get gambling help?

Preserve the complete provider evidence packet, use the product-specific Ohio regulator route and call Ohio support at 1-800-589-9966 or call or text 1-800-MY-RESET if gambling is becoming difficult to control.
