The Virginia Lottery posted a Unibet temporary license approval on its website Thursday, though approval date was technically Wednesday. Unibet’s parent company Kindred sent out a release Thursday confirming the license.

“We are excited to add Virginia to the growing list of states that Unibet and Kindred Group call home as we continue our expansion in the US market,” Kindred senior VP of US Manuel Stan said. “Our aim is to go live shortly and we expect that the success we have seen in New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Indiana will of course follow in Virginia.”
