To commemorate its Ohio debut and underscore its dedication to sports inclusivity, BetJack inaugurated the year with a $20,000 contribution to Special Olympics Ohio.
BetJack vowed to equal every dollar gambled, with a $20,000 ceiling, within the initial two hours of legalized sports betting in the state (commencing at midnight on January 1st). This remarkable gift will bolster the organization’s objective of furnishing year-round training and competitive prospects for its 20,000 athletes spanning Ohio’s 88 counties.
Jessica Stewart, Special Olympics Ohio’s CEO, conveyed her appreciation, remarking, “This financial support will enable our athletes to realize their full capabilities, both in and beyond athletic endeavors.”
Brian Eby, President of Jack Entertainment, highlighted the company’s commitment to community investment, stating, “We are thrilled to generate a beneficial influence across Ohio.”
To signify the event, Christine Hoyer, Chief Development Officer of Special Olympics Ohio, placed the inaugural wager at the BetJack Sportsbook within JACK Cleveland Casino. Her $68 gamble on the Cleveland Cavaliers securing the NBA Championship was a tribute to the organization’s establishment year, 1968.
The Buckeye State’s debut of sports wagering was a resounding success! BetJack’s digital platform saw a deluge of wagers, as the Jack Cleveland Casino overflowed with enthusiastic players. Simultaneously, the Jack Thistledown Racino was primed for the occasion, equipped with numerous screens to provide every patron a prime viewing experience of the thrilling day.
