    Latest Virginia betting news

    Who can bet on sports in Virginia?

    In accordance with Virginia sports betting law, Adults 21 and over who have access to a mobile device or computer may place a legal sports bet. Registration can be completed from anywhere in the state, so players can get started at home or at their favorite bar.

    Keep reading to learn about how to place your first sports bet in the Old Dominion.

    21plus Legal age

    You must be at least 21 to place legal wagers at Virginia sportsbooks.

    21plus Mobile betting

    Online Virginia sports betting involves a computer or mobile device to access a sports betting website or sportsbook app. The Virginia Lottery regulates all VA sports betting operators and their activity in Virginia.

    21plus Remote registration

    Remote registration allows Virginia bettors to create accounts with Virginia sports betting sites, make deposits, and place their first bets from anywhere in the state.

    globe Within state borders

    Geolocation technology is used by all online Virginia sportsbooks to confirm your location within the state. While you don’t need to reside in Virginia to place a bet, you will be required to enable location services to prove you’ve got both feet on the ground in the Old Dominion.

    bank Retail sportsbooks

    There is only one retail sportsbook in VA: Hard Rock Sportsbook in Bristol. Lawmakers have approved up to five new brick-and-mortar casinos, and plans are already in motion to begin constructing casinos in three other Virginia cities: Danville, Northfolk, and Portsmouth. Each casino is forecasted to house its sportsbook.

    percent Taxable winnings

    Virginia sports betting winnings that exceed $600 are subject to a 24% federal tax. Losses can offset winnings, so keeping a record of both could lessen the burden during tax season.

    The rate at which your winnings are taxed, at the state level, depends on the amount you’ve won that year. These rates range from 2% - 5.75%.

    The pros and cons of Virginia sports betting

    Sports bettors have been able to enjoy fully online Virginia sports betting from the get-go. The average tax rate and high population make Virginia a worthwhile market for new sportsbooks.

    A lack of retail sportsbooks is a current drawback in Virginia — although that will change in the coming years.

    How to start betting in Virginia

    Sports bettors can visit legal Virginia betting sites or download an sports betting app to a mobile device. Bettors can also visit Hard Rock Sportsbook in Bristol to place wagers in person.

    1

    Select a sportsbook

    The first step is to check out the current lineup of regulated Virginia sportsbooks. These platforms can offer various sign-up bonuses, betting lines, and levels of customer support. Visit a few Virginia sports betting sites and read over their terms and conditions before getting started.

    2

    Register online

    Registration can be completed rather quickly in Virginia. Fill in some personal details, including the last four digits of your SSN, and you’ll be in pole position to place your first sports bet.

    3

    Claim a bonus

    The Virginia sports betting scene is an open competitive marketplace — with bettors reaping the benefits. To gain an edge, VA sportsbooks reel in gamblers with the most common sportsbook sign-up bonuses to get them started on their sports betting journey.

    Virginia sports bettors can expect to find:

    • Risk-free bets: If your first bet ends up in the “L” column, some Virginia sportsbooks will deposit a site credit to your account matching the amount you lost.
    • Deposit match: Sports betting sites may match your initial deposit — up to 100%. Playthrough requirements usually come into play here.
    • No-deposit bonus: A small site credit to get you started. This amount will need to be used on your first bet before it can be withdrawn.

    Choose your bet

    All of the favorite bet types can be found in Virginia. We've shared the most popular and provided an overview of each:

    Picking an outright winner in sports betting parlance is called the moneyline, and it is a favorite bet type for new sports bettors.

    In the case of Over/Unders (totals), you are determining whether the combined score will exceed or fall short of the total set by the oddsmakers.

    Virginia sportsbooks introduce the point spread to level the playing field. This is due to the fact that the skill level between teams differs. Sports bettors can think of it as the great equalizer.

    Parlays tie multiple bets together, and since all the wagers involved must win for the parlay to pay out, the risk is much higher than a single-game bet. 

    5

    Deposit

    Most of the best sportsbook deposit and withdrawal methods are available in Virginia. Debit cards, credit cards, bank transfers, prepaid cards, and e-wallets are valid options for transferring funds to a Virginia sports betting account.

    Transaction fees may accompany these deposits, so be sure to read the fine print before confirming your transaction.

    6

    Start betting

    Once you’ve explored all your chosen Virginia sportsbooks have to offer, it’s time to start betting. Line shopping, like finding the best NFL odds for your bet, is always recommended. It is beneficial to open accounts with multiple Virginia sports betting sites to ensure you’re quickly able to place the most favorable bets.

    7

    Withdraw

    Withdrawals can be made in many of the same ways players can make deposits. Depending on the method chosen to make a withdrawal, funds may be available in a timely fashion or take a couple of days to appear in your account.

    Odds explained

    American odds will be shown as the default option at Virginia sports betting sites. Also known as moneyline odds, American odds indicate favorites and underdogs with a minus sign (-) and plus sign (+), respectively.

    The number next to the minus sign tells bettors how much they’ll need to wager in order to win $100. The number next to the plus sign implies the amount that will be won when placing a $100 bet.

    For example, -110 odds indicate $110 needs to be made to win $100 in profit. Meanwhile, +180 odds show that $180 will be won with a $100 wager.

    Decimal and fractions odds can also be used to display the same potential winnings. Our odds converter can be used to switch between all three betting odds formats.

    What you can't bet on in Virginia

    Until recently, Virginia has been a mostly conservative gambling state. Today, some limitations remain including the following:

    Awards shows

    Much-hyped celebrity and pop-culture events, such as the Academy Awards, are off-limits to Virginia bettors.

    What about esports?

    Esports betting has become increasingly popular and is now legal in Virginia. In 2020, SB384 included clear language permitting esports betting in the Old Dominion.

    Virginia sports betting handle

    Virginia sports bettors wasted no time getting in on the sports betting action in 2021. After taking in over $236 million in sports wagers in April, Virginia became the fastest state to $1 billion in total sports betting handle.

    Since launching mobile sports wagering, Virginia has seen its sports betting handle reach over $3.21 billion in total wagers.

    Here’s a breakdown of Virginia’s sports betting numbers:

    Home team advantage: Virginia sports

    Despite not having a professional team, Virginia is a huge interest market for the major sports leagues. It’s no surprise that sports bettors have come out in full force since Virginia sports betting was legalized in January 2021.

    But like all gamblers, it’s vital that Virginia bettors take a cautious approach when placing wagers on their favorite clubs. Our how to bet guides are a handy resource for new bettors. Sports betting has no allegiances, so be sure to remain neutral and read the odds carefully.

    Other types of gambling

    Virginia is inching closer to unveiling more land-based casinos. While residents are currently limited to Hard Rock Bristol, local gamblers will soon be able to enjoy an abundance of gambling opportunities at brick-and-mortar locations in VA.

    casino Casino

    Four Virginian cities have approved casino plans to date. Hard Rock Bristol was the first to welcome local gamblers when it opened its temporary location on July 8, 2022. The final project is expected to be completed in the summer of 2024.

    For online gamblers, sweepstakes casinos like Chumba Casino and LuckyLand Slots are the lone options in Virginia. No formal law regulates real money online casinos in the state.

    poker Poker

    Virginia’s gambling law does not explicitly outlaw poker, but there are no poker rooms to be found in the Old Dominion. However, this should change with the arrival of casinos in a few years.

    Online poker has not been legalized but could be a consideration in the future as Virginia continues to expand on its regulated gambling offerings.

    Horse and jockey Horse racing

    Following a five-year hiatus, Colonial Downs has been up and running since 2019. Virginia’s lone horse racetrack offers live racing, pari-mutuel betting, and HHR (historical horse racing).

    Online horse bets can also be placed online with TVG, TwinSpires, and other horse racing betting sites.

    Horse and jockey Daily fantasy sports

    Virginia was the first to legalize daily fantasy sports (DFS). DraftKings and FanDuel have been running DFS contests in the Commonwealth since 2016.

    Responsible gaming in Virginia

    While the launch of legal sports betting has been a source of excitement and entertainment for many in Virginia, there will inevitably be some who fall into the downward spiral that is gambling addiction. With this in mind, the Virginia Lottery has worked to develop programs for those in need.

    At the head of their efforts is the Voluntary Exclusion program. This allows individuals to exclude themselves from all forms of gambling for two years, five years, or a lifetime.

    Other resources include a toll-free helpline and support groups for problem gamblers and their families and friends.

    Legal online sportsbooks also allow users to place a wide range of restrictions on themselves. Players can set deposit and betting limits or permanently join the self-exclusion list.

    Virginia sports betting conclusion

    Considering Virginia had little to no gambling activity in 2020, the state continues to punch above its weight in terms of prosperity. Sports betting has been legal since January 2021, and today, 15 online Virginia sportsbooks are fully operational.

    Virginians can wager on all sports betting markets, but they cannot wager on the NFL Draft. In addition to sports betting, VA is also picking up steam with casino gaming. Bettors in neighboring states, including Maryland, North Carolina, and Kentucky, have struggled with sports betting legalization, which continues to benefit the Commonwealth.
