The Washington Football Team has received a sports betting permit in Virginia and, through the franchise's partnership with FanDuel, launched a mobile sportsbook in the Commonwealth on Thursday.
The Virginia Lottery issued the permit to Washington on Wednesday, making the Football Team the first NFL franchise to receive a sports betting license.
Financial details of Washington's partnership with FanDuel and how revenue from the Virginia sportsbook will be shared between the bookmaker and the team were not disclosed. NFL franchises are not allowed to directly participate in or provide sports betting, however, in states that grant teams market access, they can designate a sportsbook to utilize the license, a league spokesman told ESPN.
