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 with only 12 employees.

One of the gambling site's founding objectives was to ensure customers always had something to bet on regardless of the time of day. Throughout the years this has lead Bet365 to offer betting lines on the largest selection of matches among online bookmakers. In addition to offering markets for popular football, basketball, hockey, and baseball leagues, Bet365 also offer lines for lower division matches and less common sports. High limits are available for most betting markets.

== Casino ==Most of the matches available on Bet365 also have in-play wagering available. This allows players to bet on matches that are in progress. Additional live betting markets are available including which team will score next, the time of the next goal, or how many more corner kicks there will be. Bet365's in-play interface is user friendly and displays live prices as they update along with live scores and play-by-play updates.
== Poker =Streaming === Users who have an active balance of at least £10 or have placed a wager in the last 24 hours will have access to Bet365's live streaming service. Customers can view live video and audio feeds for many matches that have live betting enabled. Bet365 launched their live streaming feature in 2006. By 2011 they had already streamed over 18,000 unique events. === Cash out feature === Since 2014 customers have the ability to cash out wagers in progress. Active bets are graded against current in-play lines in order to determine the appropriate return. Players can elect to cash out the entire wager or a partial amount. Bet365 have also implemented an edit bet feature allowing customers to modify existing wagers. The current return of a bet in progress is used as the initial stake for a new bet. Users can add, swap, or remove selections from their current bet slip.
