Bet365 launches in Washington DC as British company continues US expansion

Gambling giant bet365 has launched in Washington DC, bringing an extensive sportsbook product and securing sponsorships with three major sports teams.

The online sportsbook and online gaming branch has partnered with three of the capital’s major sports teams via a multi-year contract with sports management company Monumental Sports & Entertainment.

The Washington Capitals, Washington Wizards, and the Washington Mystics will all be sponsored by bet365, with the company’s logo used across all team broadcasts shown on the Monumental Sports Network. This will include virtual signage as well as commercials both before and during games.

A launch in the US capital further expands bet365’s presence in North America, with the brand now operating in 18 states across the US, as well as in the Canadian provinces of Ontario and Alberta.

In terms of the bet365 product, the brand launches with an extensive sportsbook covering more than 100 sports, as well as a Bet365 promo offer for new users.

Both live and in-play betting will be available, as well as popular sportsbook promos such as the company’s Early Payout Offer and the the Early Bird Special for Sunday NFL games.

Trip Stoddard, Head of Development at bet365, said: “Bringing bet365 to our nation’s capital expands our reach in the U.S. and establishes our presence in one of the country’s most dynamic sports markets.

“Our partnership with Monumental Sports & Entertainment gives us an exciting opportunity to introduce bet365 to Capitals, Wizards and Mystics fans and build lasting connections across Washington, D.C.”
