WATERFORD, Ireland, May 29, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Minimum Deposit Casinos (MDC), a global iGaming review hub and division of the OneTwenty Group, has released a new report analyzing the implications of House Bill 298 — a proposed piece of legislation that could reshape the online gambling landscape in Ohio.

The bill, introduced by Rep. Jay Edwards, seeks to legalize online casino gambling in the state but includes strict provisions. Only land-based casinos and racino operators would be eligible to hold licenses. In a bold move, the bill also proposes a complete ban on sweepstakes-style online gaming, a model that has grown rapidly in states where traditional online casinos remain illegal.

“What’s happening in Ohio is part of a much larger national trend,” said a senior analyst at MDC. “We’re seeing more states move to eliminate unregulated sweepstakes platforms in favor of licensing structured, taxed, and consumer-protected online casinos.”

If passed, the bill would place Ohio among the growing list of states — including Montana, Louisiana, and New York — taking aim at dual-currency sweepstakes sites. These sites often operate in legal grey areas, offering virtual currencies that can be exchanged for real cash prizes without formal gambling licenses.

MDC’s report outlines the potential market impact, including shifts in affiliate marketing models, player migration to regulated platforms, and increased scrutiny across the U.S. gambling ecosystem.

WATERFORD, Ireland, April 11, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Minimum Deposit Casinos (MDC), a leading global casino resource portal and division of the OneTwenty Group, has released a new analysis highlighting the potential impact of the US-China trade war on the global online casino industry.

As tensions escalate between the two economic giants, MDC warns that the effects may reach far beyond Asian casino stocks — affecting the infrastructure that powers online gambling platforms worldwide.

Casino operators with heavy exposure to Asia, such as Melco Resorts and Las Vegas Sands, have seen share prices drop by as much as 9.8%. Meanwhile, U.S.-based companies like Wynn Resorts and MGM International have also experienced notable declines. But MDC’s expert analysis suggests this could be just the tip of the iceberg.

“The first impacts won’t come from gambling laws but from tech and finance disruptions,” says a leading analyst at MDC. “Online casinos rely on international payment networks, cloud hosting, and fintech tools. If those start getting caught in the crossfire, players and operators everywhere will feel it.”

MDC’s report outlines potential risks including delayed payouts, currency volatility, tighter financial regulations, and increased costs for cloud-based operations. While land-based casino stocks face short-term dips, the digital gambling world could be facing a longer-term restructuring.
