West Virginia recently ushered in a new era for West Virginia gambling. The West Virginia Lottery Interactive Wagering Act automatically became law on March 27, 2019, when Gov. Jim Justice let the veto window pass.
The law legalizes online casino gambling in West Virginia, providing one license for each of the five casinos, and three skins or brands per casino.

WILLIAM LEE HILL, 70, of Huntington, W.Va., passed away Monday, January 15, 2018, in the Emogene Dolin Jones Hospice House. He was born September 1, 1947, in Wheeling. Summary: William Hill is 72 years old and was born on. William Hill lives in Beckley, WV; previous city include Glen White WV. Sometimes William goes by various nicknames including William M Hill, William Moodie Hill, William J Hill and William M Hill.
West Virginia gambling apps
West Virginia sports betting opened up when FanDuel Sportsbook and DraftKings Sportsbook each launched an online sportsbook and sports betting app in 2019. BetMGM Sportsbook joined them in 2020.
You can now legally bet on sports in WV at retail locations within WV casinos, and via the online sportsbooks and apps. For more on NFL and college football betting in WV, see our guides here:
DraftKings Sportsbook WV
DraftKings Sportsbook announced in late December of 2018 that it partnered with Hollywood Casino to bring mobile sports betting to West Virginia, and launched its sportsbook app for WV bettors in August of 2019.
FanDuel Sportsbook WV
FanDuel operates the retail sports betting operations for The Greenbrier. The FanDuel Sportsbook at The Greenbrier opened its betting windows on Sept. 13, 2018.
The partnership now extends into the world of mobile sports betting, with the launch of FanDuel Sportsbook WV bringing sports betting access to residents throughout the Mountain State.
BetMGM Sportsbook WV
BetMGM Sportsbook is the third online sportsbook to open its doors in West Virginia. It went live on January 22, 2020.
BetMGM is the result of a partnership between MGM Resorts International and GVC Holdings. The site is open in West Virginia as the second sportsbook under The Greenbrier’s license.
Launch dates for WV online sportsbooks
Online partner | Online launch date | Retail launch date | Retail sportsbook | WV sportsbook |
---|---|---|---|---|
DraftKings Sportsbook | Aug. 28, 2019 | NA | NA | Hollywood Casino Sportsbook |
FanDuel Sportsbook WV | Aug. 26, 2019 | Sept. 13, 2018 | FanDuel Sportsbook at The Greenbrier | The Casino Club at The Greenbrier |
BetMGM Sportsbook | January 22, 2020 | NA | NA | The Casino Club at The Greenbrier |
West Virginia online casino launch dates
Again, it was DraftKings that was first to go live with an online casino app in WV called DraftKings Casino, partnering again with Hollywood Casino at Charles Town Races for a July 2020 launch.
It was followed by BetMGM Casino, in a partnership with The Greenbrier, in August 2020.
All five WV casinos will likely apply for an online license at some point. The WV Lottery opened applications for the process in June of 2020, so not all of the casinos may have had time to work out a partnership with an online casino or sportsbook brand yet.
Here are some of the possibilities for the future:
Betfair Online Casino
Paddy Power Betfairacquired FanDuel in 2018, providing the sportsbook access to one of the more popular casino platforms. FanDuel partnered with The Greenbrier for its retail sports betting operation. Mobile sports betting and online casino gambling is just speculation at this stage.
PokerStars Online Casino
PokerStars Online Casino from the global online poker giant will likely look for a way to enter the West Virginia online gambling market. If it does, it will almost certainly be the one of the most popular online poker apps in WV. The company has made its plans known to pursue legal and regulated gaming markets as they become available.
Hollywood Online Casino
Owned by Penn National, Hollywood Casino can probably have its pick of online casino partners. It has inked a mobile sports betting partnership with DraftKings and its awaiting approval from regulators. Additionally, in Pennsylvania, Penn National is working with IGT to bring online casino games to Hollywood Casino in Grantville, PA.
Mountaineer Online Casino
William Hill Vsin
Mountaineer Casino partnered with William Hill for its land-based sportsbook. While William Hill operates a casino in Europe, it has not launched one in the US, nor has there been any discussion of doing so. BetStars might be a possible contender as it seeks entry into the Mountain State.
Wheeling Island Online Casino
Delaware North, the owner of Wheeling Island Casino is currently looking for a new sports betting partner. It would make sense that they would also be looking for an online casino partner.
Mardi Gras Online Casino
Mardi Gras Casino is also owned by Delaware North. Providing operations for two online casinos might be enticing enough to lure some other popular casino platforms to the state.
Projected launch dates for WV online casinos
WV casino | Existing online partner | Projected launch | Application status |
---|---|---|---|
Hollywood Casino at Charles Town Races | DraftKings Casino | July 2020 | Approved |
Mountaineer Casino, Racetrack & Resort | TBD | TBD | TBD |
The Casino Club at The Greenbrier | BetMGM Casino | August 2020 | Approved |
Mardi Gras Casino & Resort | TBD | TBD | TBD |
Wheeling Island Hotel | TBD | TBD | TBD |
What did the West Virginia online casino bill legalize?
HB 2934 allows WV online casinos to operate games similar to those offered in land-based casinos.
Games such as:
- Table games
- Online poker
- Video lottery (slots)
Tax rates and licensing fees
The initial version of the bill set the online casino revenue tax at 10%, the same as online sports betting.
However, during the process, some legislators sought higher rates of taxation. Eventually, the law passed with online casino games revenue taxed at 15%.
Online gaming license will cost each operator $250,000 and are valid for five years. Licenses can be renewed for a fee of $100,000.
Gambling history
West Virginia’s earliest sports betting app, BetLucky Sportsbook, suspended operations in 2019, and hasn’t resumed yet.
On March 6, 2019, online sports betting in West Virginia came to a sudden halt due to a contract dispute between Delaware North and its sports betting provider, Miomni.
The shutdown also found Mardi Gras Casino Sportsbook and Wheeling Island Sportsbook with closed betting windows.
Delaware North, the owner of the West Virginia sportsbooks, announced it was severing its contract with Miomni, which makes it unlikely that BetLucky will return to the Mountain State. Presumably, Delaware North is still looking for another sportsbook and online gambling partner for its two WV casinos.
This is a developing story and will be updated.
William Hill US joined the party in announcing a path to expansion of sports betting in new states around the country.
William Hill in two new states
Will Hill announced on Friday that it signed sports betting agreements with 11 casinos in Mississippi and one in West Virginia.
According to Will Hill, it “will provide sports betting risk management services and its proprietary technology for both retail and on-premises mobile sports betting” for the casinos.
“We have built on our existing business in Nevada which is number one and growing and in Delaware where we are risk manager for the entire state,” CEOPhilip Bowcock said. “We are now the early market leader in New Jersey where our mobile app will launch within weeks and we expect to be market leader in Mississippi with these eleven casino agreements. The team continue to engage in discussions that cover a further fourteen states and they are doing a tremendous job.”
The company is already involved with sports gambling in Nevada, New Jersey and Delaware. It took the first legal bet in NJ sports betting via a sportsbook at Monmouth Park.
“We have had a great start in New Jersey and our team is working hard to launch our mobile product there, as well as getting ready to go live in Mississippi, West Virginia and elsewhere, subject to regulatory approval,” William Hill CEO Joe Asher said. ” There is a lot happening and we are very proud of our team.”
And 14 more states?
The most interesting part of the press release was this nugget:
The company is also in discussions with operators about sports betting deals that would cover a further fourteen US states.
It’s not clear who the partner for that deal might be. Regional casino operator Eldorado Resorts operates in a number of states and mentioned its excitement about the vertical in this week’s earnings call. Will Hill already works with Eldorado in Nevada.
The additional states could encompass deals with more than one gaming company.
Oh, and this other state too
We also learned that William Hill will likely be involved in Rhode Island sports betting.
IGT was the only bidder to provide sports betting for the state. Will Hill “will supply its operational expertise, risk management, and trading data to support the operation of sports betting in the state” if the IGT bid is accepted.
Will Hill and Mississippi sports betting
Where in Mississippi will you find Will Hill in charge of sports betting? The company listed five of the casinos:
- Hard Rock Casino Hotel & Casino Biloxi
- Island View Casino Resort (Gulfport)
- Palace Casino (Biloxi)
- Treasure Bay Casino (Biloxi)
- WaterView Casino (Vicksburg)
It did not name the six other casinos where it would offer Mississippi sports betting. Will Hill said it would be live at all of them “by the end of August.”

William Hill and WV sports betting
William Hill had little in the way of details about its entry point for WV sports betting. It cited a “soon-to-be-announced casino partner.”
There are only five casinos that can offer sports wagering in West Virginia. Only one deal — between the Greenbrier and FanDuel Group — has been announced to date.
You get a sports betting deal, and you get a sports betting deal…
Sherwin Williams Oak Hill Wv
Earlier this week, companies involved in online sports betting — Scientific Games, FanDuel Group and GVC –– all were part of deals of their own.
William Hill Va
On Thursday night, FanDuel announced a partnership with Boyd Gaming that could put FanDuel Sportsbook in more than a dozen states down the road.
