bet365 Review 2026

bet365 is a global sportsbook with a deep live-betting product, expanding steadily in the US and licensed in roughly 17 states as of July 2026, including a rare add of Michigan in April 2026. Its state list is narrower than the DraftKings/FanDuel/BetMGM tier, but its in-play betting depth is a genuine strength where it operates.
