In May 2018 the U.S. Supreme Court paved the way for sports betting in all 50 states. Online sportsbooks have always been accessible from the state of Virginia, and will be offering hundreds of prop bets for this year's Super Bowl.
Will the state itself ever allow sportsbooks to operate in-state?
The short answer is Yes.
Virginia lawmakers are anxious to allow sportsbooks to operate in-state following the landmark Supreme Court decision.
Virginia Democratic state Sen. Chap Petersen was counting on keeping their folks in-state as opposed to driving into neighboring West Virginia where sportsbooks are already open for business in five different casino locations.
He filed a bill to legalize betting on professional sports last year that failed.
The great news of course is that you will be able to bet on the Super Bowl. The even better news is that you can already bet from Virginia with online sportsbooks like BetOnline, which have been online since 1997 and offering hundreds of Super Bowl prop bets now.
