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 2023.
As of September 2023, 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.
When Betfred Sportsbook California does eventually launch, joining will be as simple as a few easy steps. Let’s take a look at how things work when signing up for the Betfred Sportsbook at an existing location to see how it will be in California.
While there is no way of knowing which California betting promo offers Betfred Sportsbook California will roll out in the future, you can check back to this page to find them all. In the meantime, we can make some educated guesses based on the offers they currently have in the states where they have already set up operations.
Located at the top of the Betfred main page under the “Promotions” banner, their current sign-up offer is “Bet $50, get $111 plus up to $200 a week in Fred Bets.” For new customers only, bettors will receive $111 in bonus bets on settlement of their first $50 cash bet, as well as 50% back on combined total losses per week. This promo is good for five consecutive calendar weeks, and up to $200 in bonus bets per week will be conveyed.
This offer is currently valid for residents of Virginia, West Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee, Maryland, and Washington D.C. only.
If your Betfred California bonus is not working as expected, the first thing you should do is check the terms and conditions of the offer. If you think you qualify, the next step is to get in touch with the support team by navigating to the “Contact Us” button at the bottom of the main page.

For starters, the terms and conditions will note which state(s) it is valid for, as well as the amount of Fred Bets, which are called bonus bets at other California sportsbooks, you will receive.
It also notes which bet types are excluded, which in this example are futures, boosted bets, and cashed out, voided, and canceled bets. Lastly, the time period for which the promo is valid, as well as how long it will take to settle into your account are noted.
