Jack Entertainment launches free-to-play betting app in Ohio

Ohio’s sports enthusiasts can practice their skills before real betting becomes available next year on the free-to-play betJACK sports betting app launched by Jack Entertainment early this month.

"This is a game changer for Ohio sports fans," said Brian Eby, President of JACK Entertainment, the parent company of Jack Cleveland Casino and JACK Thistledown Racino. "From gridirons to 4-irons, hat tricks to hook shots, goal lines to line drives, betJACK is running up the score in Ohio. Jack Entertainment is Ohio's gaming company." 1dam Suliman, Vice President of Sports & Digital Gaming for JACK Entertainment added: “We're thrilled that betJACK is the only sportsbook app with real insight into the Buckeye State. We know how much Ohio fans love their local teams. They've been waiting to legally bet on sports here for years instead of having to drive across state lines. betJACK is finally giving them their shot."

Developed in partnership with Shape Games, the betJACK app, which is available for download on the Apple Store and Google Play, offers various betting options from spreads, money lines, over/under, and parlays, plus in-game betting. The app also features many how-to guides that explain sportsbook betting options and lingo. It also lets players challenge friends to bet duels and track their stats on bets, winnings, and wager patterns. And it allows fans to check into The Sports Parlor, a weekly sports podcast featuring the biggest headlines and newsmakers from Ohio's sports teams.
