Licensed gambling operators in the state of West Virginia generated a collective $2.2m (£1.7m/€2.0m) in sports wagering revenue in January, with mobile the most popular form of betting for consumers.

Players spent a total of $35.4m on sports betting during the four weeks through to January 25, 2020, winning $32.9m in the process.

Retail was the main source of income during the month, with licensed operators reporting revenue of $1.2m after consumers bet $15.7m at land-based facilities across the state.
