With the stroke of Governor Ralph Northam's pen in 2020, Virginia embarked on one of the most efficient and successful sports betting journeys in the post-PASPA era, swiftly establishing itself as one of the nation's leading sports betting states.
Known for its vast array of sterling academic institutions and passion for collegiate sports, Virginia is nevertheless among a handful of states where betting on in-state schools is prohibited. Since the first legal wager in Virginia was accepted in 2021, there have been numerous legislative efforts to overturn this ban, but none have proven successful.
In January 2025, the Virginia Lottery reported that the state's sports betting operators accepted a record $760 million in sports wagers in November of 2024, marking the first time a monthly handle figure had exceeded $700 million. And while Virginia's gaming operators are legally verboten from using the phrase "Virginia is for Bettors" in a clever play on the state's tourism slogan, it's certainly not untrue.
