Virginia legalized sports betting in April 2024. Anyone who is at least 21 years of age, has a valid United States Social Security Number and is physically located within the state of Virginia can bet with DraftKings Sportsbook there. It operates under the Virginia Lottery.

Virginia gambling laws are relatively restrictive. The Commonwealth does runs a statewide lottery, and allows for garnishment of winnings for unpaid child support. Casinos and greyhound racing are specifically prohibited. Additionally, Virginia allows betting on games of chance in private residences.

Cash Out is a feature that gives you the opportunity to close out your active bet before the outcome is decided. This allows you to secure part of your winnings or cut your losses as the odds change in or against your favor.

After placing your bet and the game begins, your bet is officially live. Once the game is underway, you'll have the option to cash out if your sportsbook offers it. This option will appear on the screen on your mobile device or computer if it's available.
