Sportsbooks at Wheeling Island and Mardi Gras casinos in West Virginia, as well as their online betting platform BetLucky.com, have stopped service due to a contract dispute with the casinos’ platform provider.
Delaware North, which owns the two casinos, says it will honor all outstanding bets, but has not announced when betting will resume and left patrons in the dark about the status of their accounts.
“We have been informed by Miomni Gaming, our sports wagering platform provider in West Virginia, that they have encountered a contract dispute with a third-party platform provider,” Delaware North said in a press statement. “This has resulted in the interruption of the Wheeling Island and Mardi Gras sports-betting operations as well as the BetLucky.com mobile app from accepting new sports wagers. We are honoring and redeeming all resulted bets and are working to determine a time frame to restoration. We apologize for the interruption in service.”
West Virginia was the fourth state to open legal sportsbooks after the U.S. Supreme Court this past May struck down the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act of 1992. The BetLucky sports betting app launched in late December.
