Verdict
Bet365
Licensed by the UKGC and MGA. The welcome deal pays bonus bets on a $10 qualifying bet.
Our read
A strong licence file and a long service life carry Bet365. The weak spot is the offer, whose headline changes from one US state to the next. Pick it for betting depth, and check your own state's version of the welcome deal before you sign up.
The offer on test
Bet $10, get $200 in bonus bets
Operator wordingNew customers only. Minimum $10 qualifying bet required. Bonus bets expire after 7 days. Available in most regulated markets. State variations apply (some states offer $150 or alternate bonuses).
The offer, read closely
Bet $10 and the headline promises $200 in bonus bets, for new customers only. The bonus bets expire after 7 days. The wording also warns that terms differ by US state, with some states offering $150 or a different deal. That clause costs it on our fine print reading, since the figure you see may not be the figure you get.
