Can't Bet the Cavaliers, Hokies on William Hill App From Virginia

Those looking to bet on the William Hill app from the commonwealth of Virginia are prohobited from doing so on any of the in-state schools such as the University of Virginia and VTech.  There are alternatives such as Jazz Sports.

In-state apps are not allowed to take bets on the Hokies and Cavaliers or any of the games that feature them.  That was a stipulation placed in the regulations.  The Cavs, in particular, are one of the most successful college basketball programs in the nation.

William Hill announced its Virginia launch February 3, 2021. They offer a risk free $500 for newbies looking to start betting from the commonwealth.

William Hill may not accept bets on Virginia college teams but they will have plenty of Super Bowl props available just in time for the big game.

“Just in time for Sunday’s Game, our Virginia app will give football fans over 1,000 ways to bet this incredible matchup, from the opening coin toss to whether the game will be decided in overtime,” said Kenneth Fuchs, President of Digital for William Hill US.

Hill is likely to be the dominant player in Virginia thanks to its tie-in with three local pro teams.

William Hill Sports Book entered the Mid-Atlantic region in 2020 at the world-famous Capital One Arena, becoming the first operator to offer sports wagering inside a US professional sports complex. William Hill is the official sports betting partner of the Washington Capitals, Washington Wizards and the Washington Mystics.

William Hill, America’s leading sports book operator, now offers mobile sports betting apps in ten US jurisdictions (Colorado, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Nevada, New Jersey, Virginia, West Virginia, and Washington, D.C.) and also powers the trading services for the Rhode Island Lottery mobile app.
