As of my last update in early 2023, sports betting is legal in the state of Virginia. The Virginia legislature passed a bill legalizing sports betting in 2020, and the first legal sports bets were accepted in January 2021.
Sports betting in Virginia is regulated by the Virginia Lottery, and bettors can place wagers through a variety of platforms, including mobile apps and certain retail locations. The Virginia sports betting market includes a range of operators, such as DraftKings, FanDuel, William Hill, and BetMGM, among others.
It’s important to note that the legal age for sports betting in Virginia is 21 years old, and there are specific rules and regulations that govern the types of bets that can be placed and the operation of sportsbooks within the state.
Please be aware that the legal status of gambling can change, and it’s always a good idea to check the latest information from official sources or legal counsel before engaging in sports betting or any form of gambling.
