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.
Virginia is the latest of many states to hop on the sports betting bandwagon. The state legalized sports betting on July 1, 2020, after a series of amendments to the bills that would eventually make sports betting legal. The first online sports betting site announced its launch on January 21, 2021, with several others following over the next week. “Vendor or sports betting vendor” means a person within the Commonwealth of Virginia who is engaged by, under contract to, or acting on behalf of a permit holder to provide sports betting-related goods or services that directly affects sports betting in Virginia and who does not meet the criteria for licensing as a principal or a supplier, such as a marketing affiliate or an equipment maintenance vendor.
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.
The good news is that you have come to the right place for information about Virginia sports betting. We have all the latest news and information about the launch, and as new online sportsbooks pop up, we will also have the best bonus offers too.
