DraftKings is excited to offer political betting, but wants to "evaluate the opportunity thoroughly before posting any lines."
A West Virginia Lottery spokesperson told Legal Sports Report, “It is my understanding that we were asked by the sportsbooks to allow betting on the presidential election and it is being reviewed. I think possibly someone jumped before being given an approval.”
Only one bet was reportedly taken on the elections according to reports.
