Bet365 has launched its online sportsbook in Virginia through a partnership with National Football League franchise the Washington Commanders.

The sportsbook went live yesterday (January 31) and offers players in the state a range of sports betting options across a host of events and competition.

The multi-year deal with the Commanders, based in neighboring Maryland, establishes Bet365 as the team’s official sports betting partner.
