Bet365 Forays into Tennessee and Illinois

The “Bet $5 Get $150 in Bonus Bets” promotion will, as the name applies, awards player in both states with bonus bets if they wager at least $5, no matter the outcome of that bet

Bet365, a leader in sports betting, has expanded its US presence by launching in two new markets. The company’s products are now available to players in the states of Illinois and Tennessee, providing locals with exciting wagering opportunities.

Bet365 Enters Tennessee

Bet365 announced that it will function as an independent operator in Tennessee. The Volunteer State currently has only online sports betting, making it a perfect target for the British company. It has notably become the 12th US jurisdiction where bet365’s products are available.

Sports fans aged 21 and over can therefore now access bet365’s online sportsbook, make betting accounts and get closer to the sports action.

A spokesperson for the betting company commented on the launch in Tennessee, praising the statе for its love for sports.

Tennessee’s passionate sports fans have an insatiable appetite, and we are incredibly excited to present our fully stocked menu of offers, boosts and more with them.

Illinois Welcomes Bet365

In the meantime, the sports betting operator also launched in Illinois, which marked the 13th state where its products are available. Unlike Tennessee where it will operate independently, however, the sportsbook has secured its foray into the Prairie State thanks to its agreement with Walker’s Bluff Casino Resort.

Just like in Tennessee, local adults can register online and place bets on their favorite sports. In addition to that, a retail sportsbook is also available at the Draft Day Sports Lounge at the Walker’s Bluff Casino Resort, as well as at other facilities.

A company representative highlighted Illinois’ long-term association with professional sports, which has become engrained into the local culture.

Championship-winning franchises, iconic athletes and impassioned fans define Illinois’ Never Ordinary sports culture. Now, new and eligible bettors from Chicago, Springfield and all of the Prairie State can join the bet365 experience.
