SB 298 West Virginia Senate · 2026 Regular Session

Racing Commission rule relating to advance deposit account wagering

This bill authorizes West Virginia's Racing Commission to implement a specific rule about advance deposit account wagering (ADA), which allows bettors to place wagers using funds pre-deposited into a dedicated account. It directly affects racetracks, betting operators, and customers using ADA systems by establishing regulatory standards for these accounts. The bill does not create new policy but formally approves an existing rule (178 CSR 10) that was previously filed with the State Register. This is a procedural measure to finalize the Commission's regulatory authority over ADA wagering.
