Sportsbooks in West Virginia

On vigged, DraftKings, FanDuel, BetMGM and Caesars Sportsbook are ranked for West Virginia: their prices are the ones best price, +EV and arbitrage use when your state is set to WV. Kalshi joins them as a book (on by default) on a side with $2,000 available at its price.

theScore Bet: reports disagree on whether it is live in West Virginia, so vigged keeps it ranked. Check the app before you rely on it.

Not licensed in West Virginia: Hard Rock Bet and Circa Sports. With your state set, vigged shows their prices, unranked.

Offshore sites such as Bovada are not licensed in West Virginia or any other state: no regulator holds your deposits or settles disputes. vigged shows offshore prices unranked and never links to them.

Prediction markets: Kalshi and Polymarket US

Kalshi offers sports event contracts in West Virginia to adults 18+. It is a federally regulated exchange (CFTC), not a state-licensed sportsbook, which is why it can operate alongside the sportsbooks.

Polymarket US, the CFTC-regulated app Polymarket launched in late 2025, lists West Virginia as eligible; access is opening by waitlist. It is a separate order book from Polymarket’s international site, which does not serve US users.

How they differ from a sportsbook: you buy a contract that pays $1 if the outcome happens, priced in cents (58¢ is a 58% chance), from other traders rather than a bookmaker. Fees take the place of vig, the minimum age is 18 rather than 21, and the legal fight over sports contracts is still moving.
