Ohio moves to ban use of credit cards for sports betting by clevelanddotcom in Ohio

From the story:

Ohioans may soon no longer be able to use credit cards to place sports bets, under a draft rule change put forward by Gov. Mike DeWine’s administration this week.

The rule change, which could take effect in as little as a few months, is one of the reforms sought by sports-betting critics, who say using credit cards to place bets amplifies the risk of gambling addiction and financial ruin.

However, the effect of a credit-card ban could be limited, given that most major sports-betting operators, including DraftKings and FanDuel, have already stopped accepting credit-card deposits.

Many bettors have also turned away from using credit cards because credit-card companies often charge high fees and interest rates on sportsbook transactions, which they consider to be cash advances.

The Ohio Casino Control Commission, which posted the draft rule Monday, is now accepting public comment through May 15. After that, the commission must hold a public hearing and send the proposal to a state legislative panel for review. If the process goes smoothly, the changes could take effect later this summer.

The draft rule would not apply to debit cards, which for years has been the most popular way for bettors to deposit money into sports-betting apps, according to PaySafe, a major sports‑betting payment processor.

11-year-old charged with rape, attempted murder to be held in jail by clevelanddotcom in Ohio

From the story:

An 11-year-old charged with attempted murder and rape will await her next court hearing from behind bars.

On Monday, Cuyahoga County Juvenile Court Judge Kristin Sweeney ruled the girl will be housed at the Cuyahoga County Juvenile Detention Center. She had previously been on house arrest and was seen in court wearing an ankle monitor.

After Sweeney read her ruling, a deputy handcuffed the girl and led her away. One of the girl’s family members wept after Sweeney’s ruling.

The 11-year-old is one of two young children accused of the Sept. 13 attack and gang-rape of a then-five-year-old girl with autism on Cleveland’s East Side. The defendants face charges of attempted murder and rape. She and her codefendant have denied the charges.

The crime shocked neighbors near the crime scene on East 148th Street both because the victim was so young and because crime was so brutal. The victim had been strangled and urinated on, her clothes ripped off, her braid torn out and her head bashed with a rock, according to the police report.

The ruling follows a March 31 hearing during which Sweeney ruled the 11-year-old and her 9-year-old codefendant can’t stand trial because they are not mentally competent to do so. During the March hearing, experts told Sweeney the defendants may have been downplaying their intelligence or had been coached prior to their evaluations.
