Online sports betting in Virginia – VA Sportsbooks
Sports betting in the state of Virginia became legal in April last year, but the state is still without sports betting options at this time. Virginia became just the second state to legalize the industry, and sports betting could launch at some point in 2021.

When the sports gambling launches, Virginia bettors will only be able to place bets online or through their mobile apps. There can be up to 12-14 sports betting licenses issued in the state, but it’s unclear how many of these will be reserved for physical sportsbooks.

There are five cities in Virginia that are set to get new casinos with the sports betting venues, as long as voters pass local referendums in November. These five cities include Richmond, Portsmouth, Danville, Bristol, and Norfolk.
All five of these properties will have the ability to apply for a sports betting license, and that will take up five of the retail sports betting licenses available in the state.
Virginia is hopeful that the Washington Football Team will build its new stadium in Virginia, and a retail sportsbook will likely be built at that site. More information will likely come out in the last few months of 2020 regarding the physical sportsbooks in the state.
