🏈 #Ohio, we're making a substitution.

Big things are coming.

As part of Out The Gate's (@primesportsbook) transition to Plannatech ownership, the Ohio regulators are busy doing what regulators do best: dotting every "i," crossing every "t," and reviewing every page twice for good measure.

While that process wraps up, we're temporarily unable to accept new wagers.. from 3.30pm ET today

The good news?

Before anyone asks:

💰 Your funds are safe
🎟️ Your existing bets remain live
🏆 Winning wagers will continue to be paid out as events are graded
📤 Withdrawals remain available

Think of this as a brief timeout while the officials review the play.

We know it's not ideal, and we appreciate your patience. We'll be back taking action as soon as the regulatory process is complete—and we can't wait to show you what's next.

Trust us—we'd much rather be talking odds, bad beats, and parlays too.

Stay tuned. The next chapter is worth the wait.

Feel free to reach out to the customer service that's always handled.your business..

Feel free to DM me for further insights.

Tough day for sportradar:

[MuddyWatersResearch @muddywatersre]

NEW: We are short $SRAD Sportradar. The self-proclaimed 'FBI of gambling' knowingly powers the world's illegal sportsbooks. We ran an undercover sting at ICE Barcelona where we told its sales team we wanted to target illegal markets. SRAD was eager to do business.
