West Virginia Casino Sports Betting
BetMGM has announced the launch of BetMGM Casino online in West Virginia, which will deliver a wide range of online casino games to West Virginia residents.
From best-in-class blackjack and roulette games to a host of slots, BetMGM Casino will launch with 30 – nearly double that of competition – games in the Mountain State, including West Virginia’s only progressive jackpot-linked games, which have the potential for huge payouts on every spin.
The legal gambling age in West Virginia is 21 years of age. This includes the minimum legal age for betting on sports online. Anyone who attempts to place bets prior to their 21st birthday is doing so in direct violation of the law. The Mountaineer Casino, Racetrack and Resort is one of the three casinos currently providing sports betting in West Virginia. The move comes after a shift in laws for sports betting in the State of West Virginia.
BetMGM’s West Virginia Casino product will be available in their West Virginia mobile app – available on iOS and Android devices – as a presented dedicated tab, which compliments BetMGM’s legal sports betting product. The experience is also available via desktop.
“The addition of the leading iGaming offering in West Virginia is a powerful differentiator for BetMGM,” said Adam Greenblatt, CEO of BetMGM. “With the largest slate of casino games in the state, we’re confident that our superior offering will quickly become the online gaming destination of choice for players.”
BetMGM Casino operates in conjunction with The Greenbrier, a mountain luxury resort synonymous with world-class hospitality in West Virginia. BetMGM’s Casino is also available in New Jersey; in the coming months, it will also be available in Pennsylvania and Michigan, provided they obtain regulatory approval.
