Virginia Lottery currently publishes 11 approved sports-betting permit holders. The list is entity-led: some consumer platforms are supported by separately approved suppliers, so Atlas does not count BetRivers, Fanatics or another supplier entry as an additional permit. The current event catalog was updated on 17 August 2026.

Permit holder is the controlling count
Virginia lists 11 approved permit holders separately from suppliers, vendors and testing laboratories. A supplier approval can support a consumer platform but is not another operator permit.
Virginia Lottery approved permit holders and suppliersEntity-to-brand matching
The regulator states a DBA for FanDuel and DraftKings, while several other rows name only the permit-holding entity. Atlas keeps Colonial Downs and PlayLive at entity level and documents supplier chains instead of inventing a consumer DBA.
Virginia Lottery sports-betting approvalsRenewal status matters
Renewal applications are due at least 60 days before expiry. Virginia Lottery says a permit terminates if a complete renewal is not submitted by the deadline, so an older approval should be checked against the current live list.
