Bet365 is owned by the Coates family – also owners of English soccer club Stoke City, formerly of the English Premier League (EPL). CEO is Denise Coates, who started the brand and remains the major shareholder. She works alongside her brother John.

In the last couple of years bet365 has spent time building out its global brand into the new U.S. sports betting market. It also offers a casino product too.

While it is still a little bit unknown in some quarters in the U.S. make no mistake, it is a big player. It’s also great fun with terrific live in-play betting odds and lines.

You want proof of that? How about revenues of around $4billion in 2019 and the family being the biggest tax payer in the UK with an eye-popping annual bill of more than $800million.

Denise, John and Peter Coates had estimated wealth of $11.99billion when the respected Sunday Times released its latest UK Rich List in May 2021. That was up $1.82billion from 2020 – and good enough for #17 on the list.

Denise Coates meanwhile had already made headlines in the UK in April 2021 when it was revealed she was paid a salary of $548million for the year up to March 29. She also took home dividends of another $66million – taking her total annual rewards to a staggering $648million.

Will bet365 take the U.S. by storm like it did the rest of the world? Time will tell.
