Virginia is Leaving Billions on the Table

Right now, lawmakers in Richmond are considering legalizing online casinos, and they need to hear from YOU. Here’s what’s at stake:

• Illegal sites are preying on minors. Offshore gambling sites are already accessible to anyone with a phone, with no age checks, no safeguards, and no accountability. 
• $1B a year in new taxable revenue for Virginia. Legal online casinos would bring in new tax dollars for schools, roads, and local communities. 
• It’s already happening, but with no safeguards. Offshore gambling sites are already accessible to anyone with a phone, with no age checks, no safeguards, and no accountability. 
• Others are already cashing in. Michigan and New Jersey are generating hundreds of millions every year. Virginia shouldn’t be left behind.

Online casino gaming is already happening on illegal, offshore sites. Let’s legalize it, protect players, and keep the money in Virginia.
