Find Your Virginia Sportsbook
Virginia Sports Betting
For over 25 years, the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act of 1992 (PASPA) banned placing wagers on most sports in the States, with few exceptions. In 2018, the Supreme Court struck down that law, and each state was allowed to institute its own rules and regulations regarding online sports betting.
Virginia passed its law legalizing online sports betting in April 2020, and officially launched sports betting early in 2021. Since then, several sportsbooks have entered the state, proving that Virginia is for bettors.

- Full Name
- Address
- Phone Number
- Last 4 digits of Social Security Number
You do not need to be a resident of Virginia, but you do need to be physically located in the state to play on a VA sportsbook.
Like every state, the state of Virginia has an extensive vetting and approval process that all sportsbooks must go through before they are granted approval to operate in the state.
After launching, they are regulated by the Virginia Lottery.
There are many different criteria upon which one can judge a sportsbook. In our reviews, we make sure to highlight the following criteria:
- Bonus Offers - How valuable is the sign up bonus? Does this sportsbook offer promotions for existing customers or neglect you once your foot's in the door? This is an opportunity to get value, so thoroughly evaluating bonus and promotional offers are very important to determine the true value of a sportsbook.
- Betting Variety - Does a sportsbook offer advanced ways to play like Same Game Parlays? How is the live betting? Can you access an online casino from your sports betting account? A sportsbook must satisfy the needs of many different types of players to be considered elite
- Mobile Experience - How is the sportsbook's mobile app? Is it available on iPhone and Android? Most bets are placed via a mobile device these days, so this is a major element of any sportsbook's overall experience.
- Betting Experience - How does a sportsbook feel? Is the website or app laggy? Does it feel laggy, messy, or outdated? You want to make sure you'll actually have fun on a betting site, not frustrated by your time on the book.
- Payment Options - How many payment options are available? How long do payouts take? Are there minimum requirements for payments and withdrawals? If you want to be secure with your hard-earned money, then this is a crucial element of any sportsbook.
- Customer Support - If an issue arises, will you be able to easily get in contact with customer support? Is it hard to get in contact with an actual person? Hopefully, you won't need it but having a spare tire in your trunk never hurts.
