By betadmin Yes, sports betting is legal in West Virginia. The state legalized sports betting in March 2018 when the West Virginia Legislature passed a bill allowing for the activity following the Supreme Court’s decision to strike down the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act (PASPA), which had effectively banned sports betting in most states.
Sports betting in West Virginia is available both at the state’s five licensed casinos and online through mobile apps. The West Virginia Lottery Commission oversees the regulation of sports betting in the state. Bettors must be 18 years of age or older to place a sports bet, and they must be physically located within the state borders to use mobile sports betting apps.
Please note that the availability of sports betting can change, and it’s always a good idea to check the current status and specific regulations before participating.
