bet365 expands its presence in the US market by launching its online sportsbook in Washington, D.C. The sportsbook offers betting markets on more than 100 sports, along with live betting and in-game features. bet365 is now live in 18 U.S. states, including the nation’s capital.

As part of the launch, bet365 partners with Monumental Sports & Entertainment (MSE) for a multi-year collaboration, becoming a partner of the Washington Capitals, Washington Wizards, and Washington Mystics. This partnership will enable bet365 to engage with fans of the three professional sports teams year-round.

“The introduction of bet365 to Washington, D.C. enhances our presence in the U.S. and establishes a strong foothold in one of the country’s most vibrant sports markets,” said Trip Stoddard, Head of Development at bet365. Under its “Home of Winning Early” offering, bet365 will provide Washington bettors with features such as the Early Payout Offer (EPO). NBA bets are settled as winners when a team takes a 20-point lead, while WNBA bets are paid out when a team goes 18 points ahead, regardless of the final result. NHL bets are settled when a team takes a three-goal lead.

The sportsbook will also introduce the Early Bird Special, which gives customers a profit boost for all Sunday NFL games one hour before kickoff.

The MSE partnership will integrate bet365 into fan experiences across Monumental Sports Network and team broadcasts. bet365’s presence will be featured through virtual signage during Capitals games and in pre-game and in-game commercials across broadcasts of Capitals, Wizards, and Mystics games.

Additionally, bet365 will serve as the presenting sponsor of Monumental Game Center, a feature that allows users to incorporate real-time sports betting odds and gamification options into live streams of Capitals, Wizards, and Mystics games.
