History
Bet365 was formed in 1974, out of partner firms, Provincial Racing and Backhouse Racing, being based in the English town of Stoke-on-Trent and it dealt with high-street betting shops.
They launched their online betting website in 1999 and it has seen an extraordinary growth in turnover each year, so that by 2005, they decided to focus exclusively on internet betting, selling all their shop business to Coral bet for 60 million euro.
In 2004, they launched their own poker site and in 2005, they launched a new casino, in association with Playtech, both of them being licensed and regulated by the government of Gibraltar.
Currently, the company is one of the biggest private-owned companies in Britain, its main shareholders being the Coates family, who own 93% of the business, while rest of 7% being owned by William Roseff.
The amount of bets placed by customers reached £3,455m in the fiscal year ending 2009, up 90% from the previous year and the net income from these bets being £236m.

Bet365 offers some generous sign-up bonuses, including a permanent 15% first deposit sign-up bonus and special bonuses of 100% for bets in European football and 50% for American sports.
The minimum initial deposit is $20, but we recommend to use the free cash bonus offer and to have a bigger initial deposit, since the maximum amount of bonus money they give is $500.
