Bet365 Makes a Foray into Virginia
The famous British sports betting operator has entered the Old Dominion and will serve as the official partner of the Washington Commanders
Leading British online gambling company bet365 continues to expand its presence in the United States. Yesterday, the company formally announced its entry into the state of Virginia.
Bet365 Enters a Fourth US State
As of yesterday, bet365 announced, its award-winning online sports betting brand will be available to customers in the Old Dominion. This marks the fourth state where the British operator’s sportsbook has a presence.
To celebrate the occasion, bet365 launched what it called an “amazing sign-up offer” for local punters. Bettors can check the operator’s online sportsbook to learn more about what the gambling powerhouse has to offer.
In the meantime, bet365 announced that it will also serve as the official sports betting partner of the Washington Commanders, a professional football team based in the Washington metropolitan area. Under this marketing agreement, the operator and the team will participate in various activations.
The gambling company noted that its market-leading in-game sports betting product will be highlighted in the state, thanks to its deal with the team. The state is notably where the OrthoVirginia Training Center at Commanders Park, the team’s football operation headquarters, is situated.
An Exciting Time for Punters in Virginia
As mentioned already, Virginia is the fourth state where bet365’s popular sportsbook will now be available. The company’s sports betting products are already available in Colorado, New Jersey and Ohio as well.
Bet365 commented on the launch, sharing its excitement to enter the Old Dominion. A spokesperson for the company noted that this is the perfect development to follow the Ohio launch with.
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.

Further attesting to bet365’s importance, the operator recently proved to be the second-biggest taxpayer in the United Kingdom. The only bigger taxpayer turned out to be the Russian-born billionaire Alex Gerko.
