Ohio quickly became one of the biggest sports betting markets in the United States, and Tipico Sportsbook was a major part of the state’s early success. However, Tipico planned to close in the next few months in Ohio. In this Tipico Sportsbook review, we discussed how to register with the bookmaker, listed what features and perks you could expect upon sign-up, and provided an overall rating of the operator.

No, Tipico Sportsbook is not legal in Ohio. Tipico began operating in the Buckeye State on January 1, 2023, along with 15 other sportsbooks. The bookmaker was licensed by the Ohio Casino Control Commission (OCCC) and had to maintain compliance with strict operating standards. It was also legal in Colorado, Iowa, and New Jersey. However, as Tipico has been acquired by LeoVegas, it closed in Ohio on July 31, 2024.

Top Ohio teams you could gamble on using Tipico

Ohio was home to seven major league professional clubs you could gamble on using Tipico. Additionally, betting on college teams, including in-state schools, was allowed under OH state law. Here were some of those top teams to bet on:

  • Columbus Crew: The Columbus Crew had Tipico as their official sports betting partner, and the Tipico Sportsbook Club was open for business at Lower.com field, where the Crew plays their home games.
  • Cincinnati Bengals and Cleveland Browns: The NFL is the top league for U.S. sports bettors and Ohio just so happens to have two NFL teams to choose from. Neither the Browns nor the Bengals have won a Super Bowl yet.
  • Cleveland Cavaliers: Winning their lone title in franchise history in 2016, the Cavaliers, led by Akron native LeBron James, mounted a comeback from a 3-1 series deficit against the heavily-favored Golden State Warriors. The NBA rivals MLB for popularity among Ohio bettors.
  • Columbus Blue Jackets: NHL betting doesn’t see nearly the same action as other teams on this list, but the Blue Jackets faithful show up and show out, both at the arena and the sportsbooks.
  • Cleveland Guardians and Cincinnati Reds: As with the NFL, Ohio has two MLB teams to entice the baseball betting crowd. Reds legend Pete Rose, who was banned from the MLB and blackballed from the Hall of Fame, was one of the first in the state to place a sports bet. Naturally, his wager was on the Reds to win the 2023 World Series.

Tipico OH former banking options

Tipico’s OH banking options were a bit more limited than with other bookmakers in the state, though they mentioned they were looking into further expansion of their transaction services. Withdrawals were typically approved within 24 hours and landed in your account in 2-4 business days thereafter. Here were the methods you could choose from to finance your account:

Deposit

  • ACH/e-check
  • Online banking
  • PayPal

Withdrawal

  • ACH/e-check
  • Online banking
  • PayPal

The Tipico betting app in Ohio

Tipico’s betting app wasn't specific to Ohio, so you didn't have to download a new app to play in other states. The Ohio betting app held a 4.6/5 star rating in both the iOS store and the Google Play Store. Reviewers cited Tipico’s favorable odds as more player-friendly than other books. Most of the negative reviews had to do with players misunderstanding the terms of bonuses, which the app developer was able to address in replies.

How you could download the Tipico app on iOS

  1. Log into the App Store on your Apple device.
  2. Search for “Tipico Sportsbook” in the search bar.
  3. Press “Get,” then “Install.”

Once the download was complete, you could create a new account or log into your existing Tipico account.

How you could download the Tipico app on Android

  1. Access the Google Play Store on your Android device.
  2. Search for “Tipico Sportsbook: Sports Bet.”
  3. Tap “Install” and let the download run.

When the app was installed, you could log into your Tipico account (or set up a new one), make a deposit, and start placing your bets.

Our expert opinion of Tipico Sportsbook

Tipico Sportsbook was a solid, reliable option for Ohio sports bettors. The app performed well across devices, and the customer support was top-notch.

Though Tipico was not without flaws, the good tended to outweigh the bad. We would have liked to see Tipico expand into streaming for live betting and add more payment options. Lacking a credit/debit card deposit option was something that could have carried the bookmaker to a higher rating and drawn more customers.

OH Betting gave Tipico Ohio an overall rating of 3.5 out of 5. The overall rating was based on these factors:

  • Welcome bonus - Rating 0/5: Tipico did not currently offer a bonus in Ohio as it was planned to close.
  • Payment options - Rating 3/5: Tipico did not accept credit/debit cards, nor were e-wallets like Apple Pay or Venmo accepted. This area needed expansion, and Tipico had indicated it would provide more payment options soon.
  • Sportsbook App - Rating 5/5: The high ratings and reviews on both Android and Apple devices were an excellent barometer for Tipico’s sportsbook app performance. The app had an uncluttered layout and a simple yet comfortable feel.
  • Variety & features - Rating 3/5: The bookmaker listed 15 sports on the page with multiple leagues in each category. Streaming was not currently available. Outside of the welcome offer and odds boosts, promotions were rather limited for returning players.
  • Customer support - Rating 5/5: Tipico’s customer support was easily accessible, quick to respond, and available in multiple channels for whichever method you preferred.

FAQ

Did Tipico have any physical locations in OH?

Yes, Tipico had a physical location in OH at Lower.com Field, home of the Columbus Crew. There were no indications Tipico would partner with any of the state’s casinos, so most Ohio players had an easier time using the app or opening the sportsbook in a web browser.
