Legal data last verified
Virginia became one of the first Southern states to legalize sports betting when Governor Ralph Northam signed legislation in April 2020. FanDuel took the first legal mobile wager in the Commonwealth on January 21, 2021, beating retail sportsbooks by more than a year.
Unlike most states that assign sports betting to a gaming commission, Virginia placed authority with the Virginia Lottery. By statute, 97.5% of the 15% AGR tax goes to the state general fund, and 2.5% goes to the Problem Gambling Treatment and Support Fund administered by the Virginia Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Services.
