Sports and entertainment company FansUnite Entertainment announced it has submitted a Supplier License application to the Virginia Lottery Board in order to become a legal sports betting and iGaming supplier in the state.
Virginia is one of the most coveted states in the U.S. for operators, according to the firm. Since sports betting was legalized in Virginia in April 2022, the state generated a total sports betting handle of over $4.1 billion. Once licensed, FansUnite will be able to deploy its Chameleon iGaming platform and its Player Account Management (PAM) system in the state.
As part of FansUnite’s U.S. expansion strategy, in addition to Virginia, the company plans to apply for gaming licenses in more betting jurisdictions, namely Massachusetts and Indiana, to expand its B2B and affiliate operations.
