On Wednesday, March 27, 2019, the West Virginia Lottery Interactive Wagering Act (designated H 2934) became law. This bill will permit existing casino licensees in the state to expand their offerings by conducting casino and poker gaming online. The act had been sent from the state legislature to Governor Jim Justice early in March, but he refrained from either signing it or vetoing it, so it passed into law after he took no action for 15 days.
This is the 5th of the 50 United States of America to pass legislation legalizing online poker and online casino wagering. That means 10% of the USA has now passed legislation… will that lead to a snowball in activity? One can only hope!
When we couple that with the fact that sports wagering in the USA just got the green light late last year, things start looking good for legalization efforts.
