Va Sports Betting

Sports betting is now live in Virginia. FanDuel and DraftKings Sportsbook launched a VA sports betting app in January 2021. FanDuel was able to be the first to debut thanks, in part, to its partnership with Washington Football Team, which maintains its headquarters in Virginia.

State law requires at least four online sportsbooks to launch, and there could be as many as twelve. With major metropolitan areas both in and around Virginia, you can bet that the other big boys are champing at the bit.

Virginia's sports betting legislation allowed for a team to establish a wagering presence if it builds a new stadium in the state. Clearly, there is some interest on both sides for such a move,. Virginia sports betting went live in the beginning of the month thus adding to state’s gambling opportunities. According to some officials, licensed operators include Betfair Interactive US LLC (d/b/a FanDuel) in conjunction with the Washington Football Team, Crown Virginia Gaming (Draft Kings), BetMGM, Portsmouth Gaming Holdings, Rivers. Although Virginia sports betting isn’t yet available, DraftKings is pushing ahead with its new user’s bonus. The welcome package will likely consist of a match deposit of up to $500 and a $500 risk-free first bet. It’s an attractive offer to residents starting their Virginia sports betting journey when DraftKings VA goes live.
