Online sports betting giant bet365 raises the stakes with a 100% match for new signups

Playing with house money has always been a dream scenario when it comes to placing bets, and thanks to bet365’s latest signup offer for new customers, that fantasy is currently a reality.

And not just any reality, mind you—but a “100 percent” reality.

Though relatively new in the U.S., bet365 has made its mark internationally, a miraculous story of growth that began as a 12-employee, private establishment in Stoke-on-Trent, U.K. back in 2000.

From there, founder Denise Coates CBE and her team launched the brand’s first sports website in 2001, which set off two decades of achievements and accolades—including the highly regarded EGR Sports Betting Operator of the Year award in 2020.

With each successful expansion, the company’s customer total continued to escalate, reaching over 13 million during the mid-2010s. And it didn’t slow as the new decade neared. By the time bet365 launched its first U.S. website in New Jersey in 2019, that overall total neared 53 million.

Now established stateside for the past two years, an even larger impact is expected as the worldwide betting site elevates the stakes for match-up incentives. In an attractive move—which puts the company ahead of the competition currently in the U.S. market—bet365 will equal original deposits up to $500 with a 100% match.

Here’s how the Bet Credits work:

  • Customers must make a qualifying deposit (minimum $10) to obtain a matching amount in Bet Credits up to $500.
  • Once registered, customers will need to place bets within 30 days of opening their account (to the value of that deposit) and allow these bets to settle.
  • Once settled, your Bet Credits will be available for your next wager.

After that, it’s risk-free, house money at your disposal.

While other online betting brands might have similar signup perks, none of them offer such an enticing, hands-on benefit that you can use with such flexibility: there isn’t a fixed expiration date, nor are the Bet Credits for a specific sport or meant to be used in one bet.

It’s all up to you.

And taking advantage now is perfect timing.

On the doorstep of March Madness and with the NBA season gaining momentum, bet365 has also launched a Basketball Parlay Builder. The handy feature allows customers to create unique bets for both NBA and NCAA games (as well as other sports), using up to six selections from a wide range of props.

The overall experience demonstrates why the online gambling brand is considered such a global force, and why it’s quickly blossoming in the New Jersey market. 

Factor in the Bet Credits, and it’s a proverbial slam dunk.
