bet365 unveils new US headquarters in Colorado
1st October 2024 10:48 am GMTOnline betting and gaming operator bet365 has opened its new US headquarters in Denver, Colorado, and plans to hire 1,000 employees.
bet365 plans to hire 300 new staff during the first year to boost its presence in the United States, with the Denver office already employing 50 staff.
To support the recruitment drive, the Colorado Economic Development Commission has approved up to $14.1 million in performance-based job growth incentive tax credits for bet365 over an eight-year period.
This incentive is contingent on the operator meeting the new net job creation and salary requirements set out by the Colorado Office of Economic Development and International Trade (OEDIT).
bet365 is currently live in 11 US jurisdictions, with the most recent launch being in Pennsylvania in July 2024. The Keystone State added to the company's operations in Arizona, Colorado, Iowa, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, New Jersey, North Carolina, Ohio, and Virginia.
“We are thrilled to welcome bet365 and nearly 1,000 jobs to Colorado and congratulate them on the grand opening of their new US headquarters here,” said Colorado Governor Jared Polis.
“bet365 will create nearly 1,000 new good-paying jobs and as many as 300 this year that will help Coloradans earn a good living and support their families. We are confident they will quickly find that our great state is the best place to live, work and do business.”
Eve Lieberman, executive director at the OEDIT, commented: “We are confident that Colorado’s nation-leading quality of life and culture of innovation will make our state a great home for bet365, and believe this expansion is a win-win, including Colorado workers. bet365 is committed to creating good-paying jobs and a culture of excellence for their employees.”
A spokesperson for bet365 said: “Unveiling our US headquarters in beautiful downtown Denver represents a watershed moment in bet365’s North American journey. The Mile High City and its thriving business community is the ideal location to launch the next chapter in our company’s future, and we’re excited to create an industry-leading, innovative workplace in our new home.”
