Online casinos in Virginia: what the law says

No licensed online casino in Virginia

Virginia's regulator lists online casinos as not legal. Taken verbatim from the 'Approved Permit Holders' block on the Virginia Lottery's Sports Betting page. Virginia defines a 'sports betting permit holder' as a person issued a permit 'to operate a sports betting platform', so every permit holder on this list is an online/mobile operator. The Lottery publishes a consumer brand only for FanDuel and DraftKings; for the other nine it publishes the licensed entity name only, so 'brand' repeats the regulator's wording rather than a brand the regulator did not state. Separately-listed 'Approved Suppliers' (including RSI VA. LLC d/b/a BetRivers, FBG Virginia LLC d/b/a Fanatics, American Wagering d/b/a William Hill Sports Book, SBOPCO LLC d/b/a SuperBook, Kambi, IGT) are platform/service providers, not permit holders, and are excluded. The page shows no as-of date for the permit-holder list.

Sports betting is live: the regulator lists 11 online sportsbooks, among them DraftKings, Caesars, FanDuel, BetMGM.

Each one's own restricted-states list does not name Virginia. Sweepstakes casinos run on free coins with prizes redeemable for cash, which is how they operate where online casinos are not legal — the law tile above says whether Virginia allows them.
