In March of 2018, before the PASPA supreme Court ruling, West Virginia passed an act which effectively legalised sports betting in the state. The Act preempted the Senate ruling and allowed the West Virginia Lottery Commission to immediately issue licenses.
Three physical sportsbooks were granted licenses in quick succession, but then everything just slowed to a halt. There were a number of reasons for this including a failed app launch by BetLucky and the fact that other states, with larger populations like NJ, also legalised sports betting.
Now West Virginia's moment has arrived. In September two new sportsbooks Betly and William Hill launched their online products in the state.

Online gambling is legal in West Virginia. It took a while though for sportsbooks to actually launch their online products, but now we have the first two; FanDuel and DraftKings.
Yes. FanDuel has partnered with Greenbrier Casino in West Virginia. They launched their sportsbook app in August 2019.
FanDuel are now live in the Mountain State. The fantasy sports operator was quick to launch their sportsbook service in the US when PASPA was overruled in 2018.
In August 2019 they launched their West Virginia online service, which makes them the first sportsbook with an online presence in the state.
Their bricks and mortar is a little off the beaten track up in the Allegheny Mountains. However, since West Virginia does not require you to sign-up in person like Nevada, you can use FanDuel's service wherever you want in the state.
FanDuel needs to be given credit not only for getting off the mark so quickly in the Mountain State but for launching a great app with a welcome bonus. We are impressed with their West Virginian product - let's hope all the other sportsbooks meet the same standards!
The fantasy sports operator cum sportsbook has launched another excellent product in yet another state. Out of the three sportsbooks on offer in West Virginia FanDuel is definitely our top pick.
Remember you will need a valid social security number and cell phone number in order to sign-up with a New Jersey sportsbook.
Online sports betting has reached West Virginia and like most other states new sportsbook will have to partner with an existing establishment in order to be given a license.
Here are the following partnerships so far:
In 2018, the Supreme Court ruled that the nationwide ban, PASPA, on sports betting was unconstitutional. This left it up to each US state to decide whether they would allow sports betting within their jurisdiction.
This decision fell to the West Virginia Lottery Commission who legalized sports betting in the summer of 2018. They issued the first license to Penn National, the company that owns Hollywood Casino and Charles Town Races.
You have to be 21 or older to bet in West Virginia. You can be 18 years old or older to bet on E-Sports.
You will need to be within state borders to bet online; the sportsbooks will geolocate you by reading your IP address.
WV also require you to be a resident of the state to be able to place an online bet. If you are outside the state, but a resident of the state, you can register remotely with the valid ID.
The West Virginian sports betting market is not quite in the same league as New Jersey and Pennsylvania but for a state of 2 million people, it certainly holds its own. Their current tax rate is 10% which is not that bad compared with other states and certainly hasn’t scared of sportsbooks.
If we take January 2020 as an example; the state generated $2.2m in sports wagering revenue. Online sports bets generated just under a million of that total. Compare this with New Jersey which generated $54million in sports betting revenue and you can see that West Virginia still has someway to go.
