bet365 goes live in 12th US state with Illinois launch
Bet365 has officially entered the Illinois market after the state’s gaming board approved a Management Services Provider License for the British operator.
Bet365 acquired that license by partnering with Walker’s Bluff Casino Resort which was granted a Master Sports Wagering License. The two will partner to launch retail and online sports betting operations in one of the biggest states in the union.
This is a big step for bet365 whose steady strategic growth of its operation in the US has proven to be successful now stepping into the sizable Illinois market.
With a license in Illinois, bet365 has expanded its US operation to 12 states. Bet365 is already active in: Arizona, Colorado, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Louisiana, New Jersey, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Virginia. But Illinois is the biggest yet for the big British book.
