West Virginia online gambling appears to be the next target for gaming expansion in the state following the legalization of sports betting last year.

Sports books opened in the state’s five casinos in 2018, and the first mobile sports betting app, BetLucky, is also up and running.

State Representative Shawn Fluharty formally introduced a bill to legalize online gaming last week. Fluharty has been one of the forces pushing for legal sports betting in the state.

The West Virginia online gambling legislation would create a licensing fee of $50,000 and a tax on gross gaming revenue of 14 percent. It would allow any of the state’s five existing gaming facilities to get into online gaming.
