With more than 1,600 betting shops in the United Kingdom, Betfred Sportsbook expanded to the U.S. in 2019 to join the fast-growing online sports betting market. When sports betting launches in California, expect Betfred Sportsbook California to be an early player vying for one of the coveted licenses.
Let’s take a look at what to expect if and when Betfred Sportsbook California becomes a reality.
No, Betfred Sportsbook is not legal in California, as legislation has not yet been passed in the state to allow regulators to create a legal framework. The most recent attempt occurred in November 2022, when two bills focused on sports betting failed to pass the 50% “Yes” threshold required.
The first attempt was Prop 26, which would have allowed for brick-and-mortar (retail) sportsbooks to open at the state’s many tribal casinos. The second would have allowed major U.S. operators such as Betfred to partner with the tribal casinos for online sports betting in California to start as early as 2024.
Betfred Sports has legal online operations in Arizona, Colorado, Iowa, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Maryland. They also have retail sportsbook locations in Louisiana, Nevada, and Washington, all of which are in partnership with local casinos. It is still to be determined what type of agreement Betfred Sportsbook California will have when the company attempts to acquire one of the coveted licenses.
Though sports betting isn't yet legal in California, Betfred's anticipated promo offers a glimpse into potential future offerings. New customers could get a second chance bonus bet up to $105. This requires a minimum first wager of $20 on any sport, provided the odds are at least -200. If the initial bet loses, participants receive a Bonus Bet matching their stake up to $105.
However, winning wagers, Future bets, and Betfred Boosts aren't eligible. This offer, aimed at providing a risk-reduced introduction to Betfred Sportsbook, emphasizes the company's commitment to enhancing user experience while strictly adhering to legal wagering requirements.
The current Betfred promo in other states does not require a promo code. We can assume that the same will apply for the Betfred California promo. If there are any updates or changes regarding the need for a promo code, this page will be updated to reflect those changes.
The expected Betfred CA promo offers a unique advantage for California bettors, specifically through its second chance bet up to $105. This means, upon legalizing sports betting, Californians can start their betting journey with a security net.
For a first-time bettor, the fear of losing the initial wager can be daunting. However, with Betfred’s second chance bet, if your first qualifying bet of $20 or more (with minimum odds of -200) loses, you're awarded a Bonus Bet matching your stake up to $105.
This not only mitigates the risk of an initial loss but also provides a valuable opportunity to engage with various sports markets without immediate financial repercussion. The chance to explore betting options with this safety net is an attractive proposition for any bettor looking to dive into sports betting once it's legalized in California.
Taking a look at the aforementioned welcome promotion currently offered in other states, we can draw some conclusions on the terms and conditions Betfred Sportsbook CA will put in place.
Once Betfred Sportsbook California goes live, the best place to find the newest Betfred promotions is on this page. In terms of the desktop site, the “Promotions” menu item on the top banner will also list all of the newest Betfred promotions. The Betfred mobile app also has a “Promotions” menu item on the top banner.
