BetJack Makes Generous Donation to Special Olympics Ohio as Sports Betting Launches in the Buckeye State

To commemorate their entry into the Ohio sports wagering market and demonstrate their dedication to making athletics available to all, BetJack launched with a substantial $20,000 contribution to the Special Olympics Ohio.

They vowed to equal the total sum gambled within the initial two hours of authorized sports betting in the state (commencing at midnight on January 1st), capped at $20,000. This remarkable display of philanthropy will aid Special Olympics Ohio in furnishing year-round practice and competition prospects for its extraordinary 20,000 participants spanning 88 counties.

Jessica Stewart, the driving force behind Special Olympics Ohio as their President and CEO, conveyed how this financial support will enable their athletes to enhance their physical well-being, embrace bravery, encounter the thrill of contests, and cultivate enduring friendships.

Brian Eby, President of Jack Entertainment, highlighted their continued commitment to championing this endeavor through diverse organizations within the state, aspiring to effect genuine change throughout Ohio.

To observe this momentous event, BetJack hosted Christine Hoyer, Chief Development Officer of Special Olympics Ohio, at their BetJack Sportsbook within JACK Cleveland Casino to lay down the inaugural wager. Christine placed a $68 bet on the Cleveland Cavaliers to secure the NBA Championship, a tribute to the organization’s founding year of 1968.

The Buckeye State’s debut of sports wagering witnessed a massive influx, as BetJack’s digital platform hummed with a multitude of wagers. The Jack Cleveland Casino, too, was brimming with enthusiastic gamblers. Not to be outdone, Jack Thistledown Racino provided its clientele a lavish wagering atmosphere featuring a remarkable display of over 30 video monitors and sizable televisions dispersed throughout the establishment.
