Century Casinos, Inc., on Wednesday said two of its partners, Rush Street Interactive and William Hill, launched their online casino platforms in West Virginia using a license held by Century’s Mountaineer Casino, Racetrack & Resort (pictured).
The Mountaineer Resort is located in New Cumberland, West Virginia.
After the West Virginia Lottery granted approvals, RSI launched its BetRivers.com online casino on April 12, followed by William Hill Casino on April 13.
The West Virginia Lottery Interactive Wagering Act, which became law on March 27, 2019, legalizes online casino gambling in West Virginia.
The Act provides one online gaming license for each of the five casinos in the Mountain State, and three online gaming skins per license.
Century said its Mountaineer Resort has agreements with William Hill for two of its skins and with Rush Street Interactive for the other skin.
Under terms of the agreement, RSI and William Hill pay Mountaineer Resort a portion of net gaming revenue derived from online gaming, in addition to a one-time fee, officials explained.
