    West Virginia sports betting updates

    West Virginia lawmakers were quick on the draw as they already had sports betting laws in place ahead of the Supreme Court’s ruling that overturned the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act (PASPA).

    Here are some key events in West Virginia sports betting history:

    June 7, 2022: BetRivers launches its West Virginia online sportsbook.

    March 14, 2022: Over the weekend, lawmakers pass a bill that will allow legal WV sports betting sites to accept bets on esports events.

    Jan. 26, 2022: PointsBet launches its online casino in West Virginia. The iGaming platform was previously released in Michigan and New Jersey.

    Dec. 17, 2021: The WVU Mountaineers meet the Minnesota Golden Gophers in the Guaranteed Rate Bowl on Dec. 28, 2021.

    Nov. 22, 2021: Barstool Sportsbook launches its mobile app in West Virginia.

    November 2021: WV registers a monthly handle of $61.7 million for October.

    January 2020: BetMGM enters the West Virginia sports betting market with its online sports betting app.

    August 2019: Mobile betting returns to West Virginia with the arrival of FanDuel and DraftKings.

    March 2019: Legal disputes unexpectedly halt the operations of BetLucky and two other sportsbooks — leaving West Virginians in the dark and without online sports betting options.

    December 2018: BetLucky becomes the first online operator to go live in WV.

    August 2018: Hollywood Casino at Charles Town accepts the first legal sports wager in West Virginia.

    May 2018: SCOTUS officially strikes down the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act (PASPA), opening the door for the West Virginia Lottery Commission to get to work on establishing state regulations.

    March 2018: West Virginia lawmakers legalize sports betting — Gov. Jim Justice gave the go-ahead for the bill to become law.

    March 2017: Delegate Shawn Fluharty introduced bill H2751 which added verbiage to the state’s constitution regarding the legalization and regulation of sports betting at WV casinos. This homegrown solution was put into place in the event that PASPA was overturned.

    Why DraftKings is the best sports betting site in West Virginia

    DraftKings Sportsbook secures the title of best sportsbook in West Virginia, thanks mainly to its user-friendly mobile app and various boosted odds for major sports and events.

    DraftKings reached the summit of Mountain State sports betting with its sign-up bonus —  a bet $5, get $200 in bonus bets offer. DraftKings also comes through with continuous promotions and bonuses once you’ve registered an account. 

    While testing the DraftKings mobile app, available for iOS and Android devices, we highlighted its simplicity and usability. Players can quickly compile same-game parlays, and access boosted odds, which helped them become our choice for one of the best sports betting apps in 2023. The home screen comes across as busy, and users are presented with suggested bets that often run counter to market research, but you can navigate the sections easily and find the markets you want in seconds.

    DraftKings WV excels at customer service. Its easy-to-access 24/7 live chat platform functions well, and available agents are often helpful and quick with a response. 

    Hundreds of betting options await WV sports bettors and a packed live betting section. Find out more of its key features and hits in our unbiased DraftKings sportsbook review.

    Best WV offers and bonuses

     Attracting new players is a priority for betting sites licensed in the Mountain State. While each betting promo or sign-up bonus differs and some fall flat, we've highlighted the best West Virginia sports betting bonuses in 2023 for your convenience:

    BetMGM - $1,000 back in bonus bets: New BetMGM customers in West Virginia can claim up to $1,000 back in bonus bets. BetMGM WV will return that amount to you as site credit if your first bet registers as a loss.


    FanDuel - $3,000 no sweat first bet: New FanDuel WV users can grab up to $3,000 in bonus bets when they lose their first wager. FanDuel will refund 100% of your initial bet within 72 hours if it misses the mark. This offer expires on Feb. 12, 2023.


    DraftKings - Bet $5, get $200 in bonus bets: The DraftKings sign-up bonus is a boon for new WV bettors. Simply deposit and wager at least $5 each to qualify. If your initial bet wins or loses, you receive $200 in bonus bets along with the winnings from the wager. The bonus will be provided in the form of eight $25 bonus bets.

    Sports bettors in West Virginia are able to register, make their first deposits, and place their first wagers — all from the comfort of their own homes. With full remote registration, it’s never been easier to start betting with West Virginia sportsbooks.

    globe Within state borders

    West Virginia sports betting sites use geolocation technology to pinpoint the exact whereabouts of their users. You don’t need to be in the state to register or make a deposit, but in order to place a wager in West Virginia, you’ll need to enable location services to ensure providers can see you are physically present in the state.

    bank Retail sportsbooks

    There are five retail sportsbooks in West Virginia. You can find these brick-and-mortar facilities at a casino or a racino, and all but one are open to the general public. The Casino Club at Greenbrier Resort is the state’s lone private venue.

    percent Taxable winnings

    West Virginia does not withhold a state tax on sports bet winnings at the state level, provided identification is submitted. With no ID, casinos are required to hold 6.5% of winnings.

    At the federal level, all West Virginia gambling winnings are subject to a 24% tax.

    The pros and cons of WV sports betting

    New WV bettors can open West Virginia sports betting accounts online and place nearly any type of wager from anywhere in the state.

    How to start betting in West Virginia

    Sports bettors in West Virginia have the option of traveling to a retail sportsbook to place a physical bet or using an online sportsbook to wager remotely. Both options accept a variety of payment methods and offer a multitude of betting opportunities.

    1

    Select a sportsbook

    West Virginians may not have the largest selection of sportsbooks, but the major players are all operating in the Mountain State.

    In order to identify the West Virginia sportsbooks that are right for you, it’s always a good idea to consider current promotions, betting odds, and user reviews.

    Once you’ve narrowed the field and gone over some terms and conditions, you'll be ready to sign up and place your first bets.

    2

    Register online

    You can complete the sportsbook registration process in West Virginia in a matter of minutes. Simply enter some personal information, verify your identity with your SSN or driver’s license, and you’re all set.

    3

    Claim a bonus

    Sign-up bonuses are a sportsbook’s way of incentivizing you to choose their platform over a competitor's. West Virginia sports betting sites are no different, as they offer a variety of bonuses to new players. Though these promotions can be enticing, always be sure to read the accompanying terms and conditions carefully.

    Here are the most common sportsbook sign-up bonuses in the Mountain State:

    • Risk-free bets: If your first bet is a losing bet, West Virginia sportsbooks will refund the amount to your account.
    • Deposit match: This bonus is typically tied to a playthrough requirement. West Virginia betting sites will match your initial deposit — up to a specified amount.
    • No deposit bonus: This small bonus doesn’t require a deposit but must be used to place a bet before it can be withdrawn.

    4

    Choose your bet

    Sports bettors in West Virginia are able to get in on the action with all of the popular types of wagers.

    These include moneylines, point spreads, Over/Unders (totals,) and parlays. Live bets and futures can also be placed both online and in person.

    5

    Deposit

    West Virginia sports bettors have all of the best sportsbook deposit and withdrawal methods at their disposal when dealing with most West Virginia sports betting sites. Credit cards, debit cards, PayPal, bank transfers, and prepaid cards can all be used to add funds to a sportsbook account balance.

    Keep an eye on bank and transaction fees associated with deposits to avoid unexpected hits to your bankroll.

    6

    Start betting

    Proper research should always be done before confirming your first bets. This includes line shopping for the best odds and understanding which bet types you’re most comfortable with. Register with multiple West Virginia sportsbooks to get the best that each has to offer.

    7

    Withdraw

    While sportsbooks will promise instantaneous withdrawals, it’s important to read over the terms of these claims. Deposits are typically immediate, but withdrawals can take longer to process.

    Odds explained

    West Virginia sports betting sites use American odds as the default option. Teams favored to win are shown with a minus (-) sign and tell you the amount you have to wager to win $100. For example, -110 odds indicate $110 needs to be wagered in order to take home a profit of $100.

    A plus (+) sign will be found next to the underdog. This line shows you what you can win when placing a $100 bet. For example, +120 odds indicate you’d take home $120 in profit if you win a $100 bet. It stands to reason that more favorable betting lines will be found next to underdogs, as these teams are less likely to come out on top.

    Some sportsbooks may allow you to view odds as decimals and fractions as well. Our odds converter makes it easy to do this as well.

    What you can't bet on in West Virginia

    West Virginians can wager on nearly every sporting event, but there are some limitations. As with other states, bettors are not permitted to place wagers on high school athletes. Here is a rundown of what else is not available to bettors:

    Covers miss icon

    Politics

    The West Virginia Lottery Commission strictly prohibits gambling on any political event, including Presidential elections.

    Covers miss icon

    Awards ceremonies

    Celebrity and pop-culture events, such as the Academy Awards, are off-limits in West Virginia.

    What about the NFL Draft?

    The NFL Draft has turned into a major betting event, and West Virginians can partake in the betting action. However, there is a small wrinkle: Betting for the opening round closes 24 hours prior to the start of the draft at West Virginia sportsbooks. This measure is designed to curb any last-minute wagers made in the wake of any news leaks.

    What about WV college sports?

    Betting on college sports is permitted in West Virginia. Additionally, there are no regulations on player proposition bets or live betting.

    What about esports?

    HB 4826 became law in March 2022. As of June 10, 2022, West Virginians are allowed to bet on esports at one of the state's licensed sportsbooks.

    West Virginia sports betting handle

    West Virginia betting has experienced peaks and valleys in the volume of month-to-month sports wagers, but the state appears to have overcome recent setbacks.

    Due largely to a six-month stretch of no online sports bets in 2019, West Virginia’s online and retail betting handles are nearly identical.

    Over $1.5 billion has been generated in total, and with licenses permitting land-based casinos to partner with up to three skins apiece, the future of West Virginia sports betting looks bright.

    Here’s a breakdown of West Virginia sports betting earnings to date:

    Other types of gambling

    The Mountain State is home to five casinos — including four racinos that offer horse and dog racing. Regardless of where you choose to play, you can expect to find droves of classic table games and slots.

    casino Casino

    Both WV online casinos and retail casinos offer much more than sports betting. Players can find more than 4,800 slot machines across the state, while roulette, video poker, and four different variations of blackjack can be enjoyed by West Virginians and their visitors alike.

    Legal online casinos in West Virginia have also been known to offer no-deposit bonuses in addition to deposit bonuses, giving gamblers a nice incentive to get started.

    poker Poker

    West Virginia poker players can play both online and at a WV casino. There are 61 tables found in five poker rooms in the Mountain State, while players can now test their luck online playing land-based casino games like three card poker, four card poker, and pai gow poker.

    Horse and jockey Horse racing

    There are four racinos in West Virginia — two with horse racing and two featuring greyhound races.

    Pari-mutuel bets can be placed on live events at each of WV’s four tracks, while simulcast bettors have the option of wagering on races going on all over the country. Players can also bet remotely with TVG, TwinSpires, TrackInfo, and other horse racing betting sites.

    Horse and jockey Daily fantasy sports

    According to West Virginia Attorney General Patrick Morrisey, daily fantasy sports are perfectly legal in the Mountain State. In a 2016 statement, Morrisey proclaimed DFS did not violate state law, giving these contests de facto legal status.

    FanDuel and DraftKings dominate the DFS market in Indiana and can offer better promos, prizes, and contests for Indiana bettors.

    West Virginia sports betting conclusion

    Consider West Virginia as the elder statesman on the U.S. sports betting block. Legal WV sports betting began in 2018, and each of the state's five licensed casinos or racetracks is allowed to host up to three sportsbook brands or skins, as they are known. Residents can register remotely with any of the nine sports betting sites live in West Virginia but could gain access to as many as 15.

    West Virginia bettors have a cornucopia of markets to engage with, including collegiate sports, the NFL Draft and esports. Sports gamblers from neighboring states, Kentucky, Maryland and Ohio, can cross into WV to place wagers until their respective states formally roll out legal sports betting.
