Figures are in for the first month of legal online sports betting in Virginia.

The Virginia Lottery sports betting report for the month of February says Virginians wagered more than $265M while residents won around $253.5M. February’s report also included money wagered on the Super Bowl, as nearly $20M in bets were placed, or 7% of the total wagers for the month. Currently there are nine online sports betting operators with permits in the state.

Hard Rock officials previously stated they intended to apply for a sports betting permit for its Hotel and Casino set to open in Bristol.
