West Virginia Delays Launch of DraftKings’ Sports Betting App

Lottery officials in West Virginia have revealed that the launch of DraftKings’ sports betting app has been delayed to ensure compliance with the Federal legislation.
“The location of one of the servers was in question during the testing period. I think we have agreement among everybody that that needs to be located in the state of West Virginia in order to make sure that there is not an issue or violation of the Federal Wire Act,” West Virginia Lottery director John Myers said.
“There is not a precedent to go by in the law. There’s not a precedent to go by in creating platforms and these systems that move the data around. We are kind of learning as we go,” Myers added.
