Overview
Founded in a portable in Stoke-on-Trent in 2000, bet365 has quickly grown to become one of the world’s largest online gambling operations. It is a now full service gambling organisation offering sports betting, RNG casino, poker, bingo and an impressive suite of live games.
The scale of the business is enormous. Now employing 7,000 staff in offices around the world, bet365 has served a claimed 90 million customers from 140 countries. They have a licensed presence in most European jurisdictions where internet gambling is regulated as well as a license to participate in the US (New Jersey) market.
bet365 have been very enthusiastic adopters of live dealer games. They were one of the first European brands to offer live dealers. They then became the first to offer their players dual studio access (tables from both Playtech’s EU and Asian based studios). They can also lay claim to being the first Playtech-powered operator to launch private, casino branded live tables.
Their eagerness to remain at the forefront of this rapidly developing category is still seen today. If there is a new game or improved platform feature rolled out by Playtech, bet365 are invariably among the first to bring it to their customers.
Until recently their live games were exclusively provided by Playtech. These games are still presented as the only games on bet365’s ‘Live Casino’ page. But live games from other providers are now available and presented under bet365’s ‘Games’ page, most notably:
- Pragmatic Play, added at the beginning of 2024
- Evolution (limited selection of game shows), added April 2024

A closer look at their live games
Supported Currencies, Languages
As you’d expect from an operator of their size, bet365 offer a pretty extensive list of account currency options, and the site may be viewed in a range of languages.
Deposit / Withdrawal Options and Support
Deposit and withdrawal options are comprehensive.
With over 200 games, bet365 gets my pick everytime. Arguably the leading Playtech casino in the market with alot of new releases being seen here first before any competitors, ensuring that players receive a truly first class experience playing only cream of the crop games.
I agree with most of Hannah’s sentiment although it does read a bit too much like a bet365 press release…. an employee? Of course there isn’t 200 games in the LIVE casino, but there are lots of tables to choose from both studios. Customer support is better than most Playtech casinos (some are pretty bad). Promotions are not always as generous as they seem, or could be … wagering requirements and limits etc
really nice casino
I can tell you with confidence that Bet365 is valid and functions in Canada. I have wagered tens of thousand dollars on sports betting and on live playtech casino. Many prepaid CC deposits and bank wire withdrawals without any issues.
My biggest issue was the table limits. $20 min on baccarat with a $5000 max. You need a big bankroll to survive $20 hands.
