Word that one of West Virginia's 2012 football games will be played at FedEx Field isn't sitting well with some Morgantown businesses that bank on Mountaineer fans. On game days, Milan Puskar Stadium's 60,000 seats effectively double the city's population. Fans pack bars, restaurants and hotels.Some merchants fear the James Madison matchup is the start of a trend that will cost the home town money. (AP Photo/Jeff Gentner, File)

With football season right around the corner, PointsBet is taking their talents to the Mountaineer state and launching their sportsbook in West Virginia.

The state was one of the first to legalize sports gambling, and already features a robust market of various sportsbooks for bettors to choose from. PointsBet joins the party with their easy-to-use app and wide array of both pregame and live odds for bettors to choose from.

In addition to the fixed odds wagering most bettors are accustomed to, the platform offers a different version of spread and totals betting. They follow a philosophy of “the more you’re right, the more you win” to offer dynamic payouts based on margins of victory.

Sound like the sportsbook for you? PointsBet is also offering some sweet sign up bonuses which you can see below.

West Virginia Sports Betting Adds PointsBet

PointsBet will enter one of the most established online betting states, as WV has been allowing sports betting since December of 2018. They are few restrictions in the state, as you just need to be 21 and physically located in West Virginia to place your wagers.

They’ll be joining a market already including some of the biggest names in online sports betting, including FanDuel, DraftKings and BetMGM. There’s also a fair amount of places to physically bet in the state, including Hollywood Casino, Mountaineer Casino and The Greenbrier resort.

PointsBet will looking separate itself in the West Virginia sports betting scene with their dynamic in-play odds and enhanced offerings.

Local Teams to Bet on at PointsBet

Although there’s no pro sports teams in the state of nearly two million people, residents can get their fix betting the traditionally successful West Virginia Mountaineers football and hoops teams in the college football and basketball market, respectively.

Marshall grads can also bet on their Thundering Herd in the same markets during their seasons.

Regionally, there’s three major NFL teams in terms of in-state fandom. The Pittsburgh Steelers are just a short drive away from the Morgantown metro area, and those downstate likely are fans of the Washington Football Team or Baltimore Ravens.

If West Virginia residents are fans of sports other than football, they’ll be able to find odds on both Pittsburgh Pirates and Penguins games at PointsBet as well.
