The West Virginia Lottery Commission has announced that they are very close to welcoming two sports betting apps from both FanDuel & DraftKings. It is believed that DraftKings will debut at Hollywood Casino in Charles Town, and that FanDuel will go live at the Greenbrier Resort casino. The first sports betting retail sites opened in casinos in West Virginia a year ago. It was not surprising it had taken another year to get the apps developed.
“We’ve wanted to see if up and running as much as anybody. I know there’s some concern that it’s taken a while but when you do something for the time you have to dot the i’s and cross the t’s. Now we think we’re there,” said Lottery Commissioner John Myers.
The apps for casinos in West Virginia will require the person using the app to be physically in West Virginia.
