Fanatics Launches New Sportsbook in West Virginia

Fanatics Holdings has confirmed the launch of its Fanatics Sportsbook in West Virginia through its subsidiary, Fanatics Betting and Gaming. This launch marks a significant step in the company’s expansion in the regulated gambling market. The sportsbook, compatible with both Android and iOS devices, is now accessible to residents and visitors of West Virginia.

This development follows Fanatics Betting and Gaming’s acquisition of the U.S. assets of PointsBet earlier this year, a strategic move that bolstered its presence in the U.S. gambling market. Following this acquisition, the company announced plans to transition PointsBet customers to the new Fanatics Sportsbook mobile app.

West Virginia customers who previously used PointsBet can now seamlessly log into Fanatics Sportsbook using their existing credentials. This transition includes the transfer of account balances, responsible gambling settings, and rewards points, ensuring a smooth changeover for users.

Additionally, Fanatics Sportsbook recently formed a partnership with Paysafe, a leader in payment solutions, to integrate both traditional card payments and alternative payment methods into its services. This collaboration is expected to enhance the payment experience for customers.

The Fanatics Sportsbook app offers a range of features designed for an optimal betting experience. Built natively for Android and iOS, the app provides high-speed performance, intuitive design, and quality service. It stands out in the West Virginia market with its unique loyalty program, FanCash – The Currency of Sport, which offers attractive dollar-for-dollar conversions and access to sports merchandise. The app also enables users to earn rewards on various types of bets.

A key feature of the Fanatics Sportsbook is its advanced search functionality, powered by Genius Sports Limited. This feature includes a comprehensive search history and the ability to search for events, markets, and leagues using aliases or synonyms. Moreover, the sportsbook is among the first to offer live streaming with BetVision, allowing customers to watch live events and place bets simultaneously through the app.
