West Virginia online gambling has officially become law, thanks to the inaction of the governor.

The West Virginia Lottery Interactive Wagering Act cruised through the House in February, and the Senate then approved and made amendments to the bill. The House accepted those changes and sent the bill to the desk of Governor Jim Justice.

The state legislature passed the bill in full the day before it adjourned on March 9, giving the Governor 15 days to sign or veto the act. Now that the veto deadline has passed, the bill has become law.

As was the case for West Virginia sports betting, Justice chose not to act on the bill and instead let online gambling become law on Wednesday.
