Virginia Lottery plans stronger action against unregulated online gambling
Virginia Lottery executive director Khalid Jones told a legislative subcommittee on Monday that unregulated online gaming was a concern and outlined possible enforcement approaches. He said the lottery could work with app stores and social media companies, with Virginia State Police and the attorney general’s office helping on enforcement; Virginia plans to revisit online casino legislation in 2026.
The lottery’s enforcement limits and Virginia’s planned 2026 debate affect how operators may face oversight of online gambling.
