Bet365 announces Virginia launch

bet365 has formally announced its arrival in Virginia, with the award-winning online sportsbook available to customers from the 31st January.

The multi-year agreement

With sites live in Ohio, New Jersey and Colorado, the Commonwealth of Virginia becomes the fourth US sportsbook for bet365, and the operator will launch as an Official Sports Betting Partner of the Washington Commanders through its marketing agreement with the team.

The multi-year agreement, coinciding with the launch in Virginia announced today, will provide bet365 with stadium signage at FedExField, trademark usage, digital integration and other agreed-upon broadcast elements.

This partnership will also highlight bet365’s market-leading In-Game sports betting product to Washington Commanders fans in Virginia, which is home to the OrthoVirginia Training Center at Commanders Park, the team’s football operations headquarters.

A bet365 spokesperson said: “Fresh off the heels of a successful launch in Ohio, we are thrilled to launch the world’s favorite online sports betting brand in Virginia. With a growing community of sports betting fans, the launch into Virginia marks a milestone for bet365 as we continue our US expansion.”
