DraftKings Sportsbook will be coming to another state for legal sports betting. The Boston-based company announced Tuesday it reached a licensing agreement to operate sports betting in West Virginia with Penn National Gaming, which operates Hollywood Casino at Charles Town Races. Apr 21, 2020 FanDuel Sportsbook is live with its sports betting app in West Virginia as of August 2019. DraftKings Sportsbook joined FanDuel a few days later and is live as well, giving West Virginians access to two of the most popular sportsbooks outside of Nevada. Most recently, BetMGM joined the market. DraftKings Casino is available in West Virginia through the DraftKings Casino app and the DraftKings Casino website.

• West Virginia sportsbooks are almost back to normal, offering popular markets and generating a solid betting handle. However, the launch of DraftKings Casino is perhaps even better than sports returning. The mobile betting app now includes the first online casino available in WV.
• DraftKings has been prepping to launch its app for months, and in June was delayed due to compliance issues surrounding the Wire Act, according to a West Virginia Lottery press release. According to the company, bettors can download the app via the App Store or Google Play, or can access is online via Sportsbook.DraftKings.com.

New options are coming quickly for Virginia sports bettors after a surprise launch this week.

DraftKings Sportsbook launched on Sunday afternoon, just before the NFL conference championship games started and two weeks before the biggest betting event on the calendar, the Super Bowl.

Here comes DraftKings in Virginia

“Just in time for Super Bowl LV, we are thrilled to bring the DraftKings sports betting experience to Virginia with an abundance of betting options for fans,” DraftKings CEO Jason Robins said in a press release. “With our customer-first approach, we hope to be the sportsbook of choice for Virginians who enjoy having skin in the game.”

FanDuel Sportsbook became the first (and only) sportsbook operator in the state on Thursday when it went live before anyone else, thanks to a relationship with the Washington Football Team. That deal allowed it to launch ahead of other operators, under regulators’ interpretation of state law.

The early launches for the two early powerhouses of US sports betting give them a first-mover advantage that will likely help both operators assume an early lead in Virginia. FanDuel and DraftKings are the leading operators in the states that have launched online sports betting in terms of betting handle and revenue.

BetMGM, BetRivers coming

BetMGM Sportsbook also got approval to operate online sports betting in Virginia, according to the Virginia Lottery, the state’s regulator. BetMGM, the online gambling arm of MGM Resorts International, is the third-largest online sports betting operator in the US.

BetRivers joins the Virginia market on Tuesday as well.

We’re still waiting to learn what other companies that Virginia will approve. But the Virginia Lottery is clearly giving deference — at least early on — to large and proven operators in a competitive process that saw more than two dozen applications.

While FanDuel leveraged a partnership to get into the state, it appears DraftKings, BetMGM and BetRivers got three of the limited number of online-only licenses that are not tethered to a casino or sports franchise.

DraftKings is well-known to sports bettors in the United States due to its domination of the one-day fantasy sports market. Now, the company has leveraged its popularity and reputation with forays into the newly legalized sports betting market of New Jersey and more recently here in West Virginia.

DraftKings WV bonus codes & promotions

The new sportsbook in West Virginia has followed its predecessor in New Jersey by offering a first bet match up to $200 to new players. By joining DraftKings through our site, you also qualify for a 20% deposit bonus up to $500, plus a $25 no deposit offer.

Players who are awarded free bets will need to use them within 30 days of placing their first bet.

The wager amount will not be included in the payout if the wager wins. It is also non-refundable, non-transferable, and not redeemable for cash.

Betting markets

Visitors to the West Virginia sportsbook can find all of the sports that are popular in the United States.

This means that wagering is available on the NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, college football and basketball, golf, tennis, soccer, motorsports, and combat sports.

Other sports are currently not on offer, though. While that is sure to disappoint some players, others may appreciate the simplified and less cluttered interface. DraftKings seems to be focused on appealing to novice sports bettors by featuring clear language, such as “Who will win?” instead of “Moneyline.”

Players can find the most popular wagers on all available sports, including moneyline, spread, and totals.

Prop bets and futures wagering are also available, as is in-play wagering. However, multi-bet options are relatively limited.

While parlays are included, the site does not offer teasers. Teasers are a popular option for punters who wager on American football and basketball. They allow players to purchase an equal number of points on multiple events.

In addition, the new sportsbook features a live ticker system, which allows players to cash out their bets early. Players receive less than the payout for an outright win, but they are also able to lock in profits early rather than risk waiting for the final result.

Finally, players are able to place wagers with as little as a dime, which is well below the minimums offered by most existing sportsbooks.

Loyalty program

The new site follows its New Jersey counterpart’s lead in allowing players to accumulate Frequent Player Points (FPPs). The points are awarded at a one-point-to-one-dollar ratio, and players are able to exchange them for free bets.

The site also offers daily missions that award experience badges and loyalty points, such as granting players 100 points for placing their first bet of $3 or more.

Additional promotions and bonuses are made available through e-mails and push notifications.

Deposit and withdrawal methods

Deposit and withdrawal methods available on the DraftKings site includes BetCash, PayPal, Visa, Mastercard, PayNearMe, and BetCash, which transfers money from bank accounts. In other words, plenty of deposit and withdrawal options are available for West Virginian sports bettors.

Customer support

DraftKings provide customer support through live chat, which is available from 6:00 AM to 11:59 PM Eastern.

Support is also available via an online contact form and email at support@draftkings.com.
