Ohio's Gambling Oversight Agency Says It Is Working with MLB on Investigation Involving Guardians

Amid the Guardians gambling investigation, Ohio Casino Control Commission is drafting a rule to limit player prop bets, with a meeting set for Aug. 20.
Amid the gambling investigation, Major League Baseball placed Emmanuel Clase and Luis Ortiz on non-disciplinary paid leave through Aug. 31 after a betting-integrity firm flagged suspicious wagering.
Ohio is one of 16 states that does not allow prop bets on college sports athletes, and the proposed rule would prohibit player-specific micro wagers, though details remain unclear.
Despite the proposed change, Rep. Brian Stewart posted on X that prop bets generate substantial tax revenue and vowed to block any ban.
Sixteen other states have banned prop bets on college sports, and the rule won’t take effect until a hearing after a 30-day notice while regulators work with Major League Baseball.
