West 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.
West Virginia was one of the first states to take advantage of this ruling and legalized online sports betting in 2018, with an official launch in 2019. While there hasn't been a total market-flooding like we've seen in other early-adopting states like New Jersey and Colorado, plenty of sportsbooks have made their presence felt in the Mountain State.

How did you rank all West Virginia sportsbooks?
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 Does it feel laggy, messy, or outdated?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.
