Incumbent DFS operators were given a 90-day transition window to come into compliance with the Board's rules, including a shift away from house-banked contest structures toward contests requiring two or more participants. This is the only new licence category created; the Board's existing statutory basis for lottery, casino, and sports-betting licensure under Title 58.1 of the Code of Virginia is unchanged.
