Bet365 launches online casino and sportsbook in West Virginia, extending U.S. legal presence to 18 states

Bet365 has gone live with both online casino and online sportsbook in West Virginia, adding another regulated U.S. market to its footprint. For PSPs and acquiring teams, the relevant detail is simple: the brand now has a legal presence in 18 U.S. states, which is the kind of distribution that matters when you are mapping merchant scale and jurisdictional exposure.

1. Bet365’s West Virginia launch covers both online casino and online sportsbook, so this is not just a betting-only rollout.
2. With West Virginia added, the brand is now legally present in 18 U.S. states.
3. For high-risk payment providers, that means another regulated state where betting and iGaming volumes can be routed through a major international brand already operating across a sizable U.S. footprint.
