Oddin.gg Breaks New Ground as Ohio Marks its 5th North American Betting License
Oddin.gg is proud to announce that it has secured a full 3-year sports betting license in Ohio, further strengthening its standing as the esports betting solutions provider with the most licenses in North America. With this latest addition, Oddin.gg now holds four US licenses—New Jersey, Colorado, West Virginia, and Ohio—and a total of five across North America, including Ontario, Canada.
The Ohio license is a strategic milestone, as the state is set to become one of the most active betting markets in the American Midwest. According to projections from the Ohio Legislative Service Commission, the state’s sports gaming market is expected to reach approximately $3.35 billion annually as it matures. By securing this license, Oddin.gg is well-positioned to support operators in tapping into this significant potential.
Obtaining the Ohio license also demonstrates Oddin.gg’s ability to meet the state’s comprehensive regulatory standards, which include arduous assessments of financial stability, operational integrity, and adherence to state laws. This achievement reinforces Oddin.gg’s reputation for compliance and reliability, enhancing its capability to deliver full-service esports betting solutions tailored to a growing market.
Ohio’s sports betting legislation imposes a 10% tax on sports gaming receipts, contributing to public education and initiatives supporting veterans in the state. Oddin.gg’s entry into this regulated environment reinforces its role as a leader in shaping the future of esports betting in the US while offering operators a pathway to engage with a new generation of bettors in a secure and exciting way.
Vlastimil Venclík, CEO of Oddin.gg, shared his enthusiasm about the news: “Securing a license from the Ohio Casino Control Commission is a significant step in our North American journey. Ohio is poised to become one of the most dynamic betting markets in the US, and gaining this
approval aer meeting the state’s rigorous standards is a true reflection of our commitment to integrity and excellence both in Ohio and beyond. However, this license isn’t just about expanding our reach; it’s about ensuring our partners have access to market-leading esports betting solutions that fully align with all local regulatory requirements.”
He continued, “Ohio’s market is gearing up to be something special, and we’re excited to help operators tap into that potential. As esports betting continues to evolve, Oddin.gg is ready to provide the expertise, technology, and support to make sure our partners succeed.

EGT Digital will present its impressive iGaming portfolio at this year’s G2E Las Vegas show. Along with Euro Games Technology, the company will demonstrate its latest developments and top-performing products on booths 2452 and 3352.
Visitors will be able to get acquainted with the 4 jackpot bestsellers Bell Link, High Cash, Clover Chance and Single Progressive Jackpot, including more than 100 titles on different themes. Among them the latest slot in EGT Digital’s portfolio Senor Muerto will stand out. Inspired by Dia de los Muertos, the latest addition to Clover Chance will take players to a world of mystery and vibrant festivities, where the Toppling reels with Multiplier feature will add even more thrill to the game.
EGT Digital’s in-house developed “all-in-one” betting platform X-Nave will be on display as well to demonstrate how it could help operators to build and maintain a successful business online. Its 4 main modules: CRM Engine, Sport Product, Gaming Aggregator, and Payment Gateway, can be part of the complete solution or function independently, as they allow integration with solutions of third-party developers.
X-Nave’s CRM Engine will show numerous new competition opportunities, including different games and tournaments, which will enrich even further the betting sites’ capabilities to offer more attractive gaming options to its customers. The operators also will be able to make more detailed player segmentation and will have at their disposal an AI/ML chatbot and a new AI/ML module, which will make selection of casino games based on visitors’ behavior.
The main highlight in EGT Digital’s Sport Product for the show will be the new Customizable tournament page, which aims to enhance user engagement and simplify navigation. Thanks to it players will be able to access relevant information and place bets very easily. The page is divided into different tabs: Lobby, Matches, Boosted, Outrights, Bet Feed, Teams, Groups, Brackets, Promotions, and Quiz. This way players will enjoy more personalized and engaging betting experience.
The Gaming Aggregator will show its extensive portfolio, currently consisting of more than 12,000 titles, including slots, live games, table games, bingo, lottery, Poker, TV games, and skill-based games from over 110 popular providers. Operators will be able to learn more about the newly-added leaderboard widget as well.
X-Nave’s Payment Gateway will present its wide range of payment methods, which includes Open Banking. The guests will also have the chance to become familiar with the Quick Deposit feature – a small Cashier that can be opened directly from the casino games, i.e. the players don’t have to leave the game in order to take advantage of it.
Tsvetomira Drumeva, Head of Sales at EGT Digital, commented: “We are excited to participate in G2E Las Vegas for another year in a row. We have prepared properly for the event and will welcome our guests with an attractive selection of products that I am confident will arouse great interest among them. We are looking forward to meet our current and potential new clients on October 8-10.”
