History
1974-2000: Provincial Racing
English businessman Peter Coates founded Stadia catering in 1968; a company which provided catering services to football venues across England. Following a successful merger with competitor Lindley Catering, Coates began purchasing local betting shops. The chain launched in 1974 branded as Provincial Racing which would eventually operate over 50 locations. Peter Coates continued to pursue new business ventures; launching the Signal 1 radio station in 1983 and purchasing a majority stake in the English football team Stoke City FC. Coates would sell his shares in Stoke in 1999 for £3,500,000.
Peter Coates' eldest daughter Denise worked at Provincial Racing while pursuing a degree in econometrics at the University of Sheffield. She continued to rise through the company and was named managing director in 1995.
2000-2001: Launch of Bet365
While other popular betting shops were slow to transition into the online market Denise Coates anticipated it's popularity. In January 2000 she purchased the Bet365.com domain name off eBay for £10,000. Her father mortgaged the Provincial Racing chain to receive a £15,000,000 loan from the Royal Bank of Scotland. That money was used to develop the software that the website would operate on. After over a year of preparations Bet365 went live on March 2001.
