Can I offer contests that involve international sports in Ohio? What are the requirements?

Based on the provided context documents, it appears that Ohio allows sports gaming facilities to accept wagers on sporting events that are made in person only from individuals who are at least twenty-one years of age and who are physically present in a sports gaming facility [1.1]. However, it is unclear whether contests that involve international sports are allowed in Ohio.

There are several types of sports gaming licenses in Ohio, including Type A sports gaming proprietor licensure [2.2] and Type C sports gaming host licensure [2.1]. Type A sports gaming proprietor licensure requires an applicant to establish their suitability for licensure, including good character, honesty, and integrity, as well as financial stability, integrity, and responsibility [2.2]. Type C sports gaming host licensure requires an applicant to comply with the requirements of Chapters 3770., 3772., and 3775. of the Revised Code and the rules adopted thereunder [2.1].

However, neither of these documents explicitly state whether contests that involve international sports are allowed in Ohio. Therefore, it is recommended that you consult with a legal professional or the Ohio Lottery Commission for further guidance on this matter.
