The official launch of the DraftKings Sportsbook in West Virginia, the second U.S. state where the product is accessible, follows DraftKings’ licensing agreement with Penn National Gaming in December 2018, and marks a pivotal next step for national expansion of the product.

Fans in West Virginia will have the opportunity to seamlessly transition between the DraftKings Sportsbook app and the DraftKings Fantasy app to engage with their favorite major and niche sports worldwide.

"We are pleased to help welcome DraftKings to West Virginia," said John Finamore, Sr. Vice President of Regional Operations at Penn National Gaming. "They provide a quality online sports betting experience that will benefit their customers and the state."
