On September 8, 2026, bet365 announced the entry of its online sports betting product into Washington, D.C, expanding the operator’s presence in the U.S. to a total of 19 states.
Under its launch agreement, bet365 signed multi-year partnership deals with Monumental Sports & Entertainment (MSE), which will give the company access to 3 local sports teams. As a result of the deal, bet365 was named as the official partner of the Washington Wizards, Washington Mystics, and Washington Capitals.
Head of development at bet365, Trip Stoddard, commented:
“Bringing bet365 to our nation’s capital expands our reach in the U.S. and establishes our presence in one of the country’s most dynamic sports markets. Our partnership with Monumental Sports & Entertainment gives us an exciting opportunity to introduce bet365 to Capitals, Wizards and Mystics fans and build lasting connections across Washington, D.C.”
Additionally, the operator will provide users with the Early Payout Offer, which is part of bet365’s Home of Winning Early offering, and the Early Bird Special, giving players a profit boost on all Sunday NFL games an hour before the start of the first game.
Regarding the sports team deals, bet365’s digital branding will be displayed inside Capital One Arena, as well as on pre-game and in-game ads during Wizards, Mystics, and Capitals games.
