Short answer

The West Virginia Lottery Commission regulates most forms of gambling in the state, including the traditional lottery, video lottery, casino table games, sports wagering and interactive wagering, which covers online casino games. The Lottery was created after voters approved a constitutional amendment and the legislature passed the Lottery Act.

About the West Virginia Lottery Commission

Online casino sites must operate in partnership with one of the state's licensed casinos, and according to available sources they must display the Lottery Commission's official seal and check that players are located in West Virginia. Players must be at least 21. The Lottery runs a self-exclusion program that lets people bar themselves from all activities at the state's racetrack casinos and its resort casino, including the associated mobile apps and online gaming. A separate exclusion from the Lottery's own player account does not cover sports betting or online casino play. A public list of online licensees could not be found on the Lottery's website, and the complaint procedure for online players could not be confirmed against an official source.
