West Virginia has become the latest US state to seek legal online gambling within its borders.

Tuesday saw the introduction of HB 3067 into the West Virginia House of Delegates. The bill, introduced by five Democratic delegates, seeks to authorize the West Virginia Lottery Commission to oversee the licensing and regulation of online poker, casino and race betting options for local gamblers.

HB 3067 limits potential online gambling licensees to the state’s four racetrack casino operators, who are currently authorized to offer video lottery terminals and table games at their facilities. Licenses would cost $50k and online licensees would pay 14% tax on their gross gaming revenue.

The bill allows for the state’s licensees to partner with online gambling technology providers, but operators will be required to market their online gambling portals using their own brand name, “not the brands of third parties,” to ensure that “actual control and supervision remains with the licensed entity.”
