    Here comes Bet365 making it's push

    The Virginia sports betting market is expecting to welcome a new operator soon.

    The UK’s bet365 is prepping to go live in its fourth US state, although the company has yet to formally announce an official launch date. Bet365 has previously launched in New Jersey and Colorado and most recently entered the Ohio sports betting landscape on Jan 1, 2023.

    It is expected to be the first operator to launch in Virginia in the 2023 calendar year.

    They pulled out of Mass. They won't make a dent in the US space.

    I think they are just being picky and more measured than others about which state rules suit them best.

    They will be the biggest in USA one day I think.

    Not sure about that, however they will definitely by gaining and passing quite a few other shops that are trending downward.

    They certainly could be the biggest in a few years, certainly the oppurtunity is there.

    as most if not all present onshore book operators are clueless, bet365 could very well become a big player in the market, should they desire.

    I live in Ohio and i signed up to around 10 books. Used the freeplay calculator on here and cleared $2500 in two weeks. Wild.

    Pretty weak though compared to what the offers used to be. I remember when New Jersey launched I cleared $5,000 from bonuses my first trip. The sites I lost on sent me reload offers which let me clear about $3,000 more then next trip I took. They've tightened up a lot.

    I wish BET365 would make its way to NY! The legal books in NY are such garbage. Draftkings might be the worst book I've ever seen with odds always -15 to -45 per hundred bet...BET365 has every game, every sport at all times...I just don't understand how 9 licenses were given out in NY and they were not one of them. Especially being one state over in NJ. How much were the politicians being paid by the companies that got licensed?

    I think Bet365 did not apply for NY due to the huge tax rate.

    I assume they want to use the same model they use everywhere else and it could not be profitable under NY rules.

    Bet $3.65*. that said they're good for a while, one of the only books that's willing to put out -110 on most player props.
