Ohio may soon join the 16 other US states to legalize fantasy sports – that’s if things go according to Rep. Jonathan Dever’s plan.

Crain’s Cleveland Business reported that a bill, which seeks to regulate fantasy sports in Ohio, may be enacted in the first quarter of 2018. Right now, the legislation sits idly in the state senate.

Ohio is considered by daily fantasy sports operators – including big firms like DraftKings and FanDuel – as one of the 10 states that matters due to the sheer population of the fantasy sports players in the said jurisdiction.

Fantasy Sports Trade Association said Ohio has an estimated 1.9 million players. On the other hand, there are 25 to 30 fantasy sports operators in the state. DraftKings and FanDuel have a combined 400,000 players in Ohio.
