British gambling conglomerate bet365 has landed in Washington D.C., securing three major sports partnerships as it rolls out its offer for D.C. bettors.
The online sports betting and gaming provider launches with an extensive sportsbook proposition that includes more than 100 sports, featuring live and in-game betting.
To celebrate its entry into D.C., the operator is offering local customers a ‘Bet $10, Get $50 in Bonus Bets’ when opening a new account.
Furthermore, the company has also partnered with three of the US capital’s major sports teams, signing a multi-year contract with sports management company Monumental Sports & Entertainment to become a partner of the Washington Capitals, Washington Wizards, and the Washington Mystics.
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.”
Some of the exclusive bet365 features that customers in D.C. get to experience include the Early Payout Offer, which allows bettors to celebrate early through qualifying NBA bets that get settled as winning wagers once a team is ahead by 20 points.
Meanwhile, qualifying WNBA bets get awarded when a team stands 18 points ahead, regardless of the final result.
This offer is also available for qualifying NHL bets, which get settled as winners as soon as a team takes a three-goal lead. Furthermore, the Early Bird Special will give bettors a profit boost for all Sunday NFL games an hour before kickoff of the first game.
More on the Monumental partnership, the bet365 logo will be integrated across team broadcasts shown on the Monumental Sports Network, including virtual signage during Capitals games and pre- and in-game commercials across Capitals, Wizards and Mystics broadcasts.
bet365 deepens North America expansion
The D.C launch adds on to a growing presence across North America for bet365. The operator already has an expansive online betting and casino footprint across 18 states in the US.
Meanwhile, bet365 has also fully utilised the opportunities that Canada’s emerging gambling market has to offer, becoming one of the first regulated gambling brands to launch in Ontario in 2022, subsequently replicating this aggressive expansion in Alberta – which launched its own market earlier this year.
