On Monday, bet365 announced a partnership with the WNBA’s Indiana Fever, becoming the team’s “official sportsbook partner” for the 2025 season. This partnership is the second WNBA team the UK-based sportsbook has inked in just the last few weeks.
Key Takeaways
- Up until June, bet365 had only partnered with men’s major league teams in the U.S.
- New and eligible customers can celebrate the partnership with bet365’s Bet Boosts on the Fever to win the 2025 WNBA Championship and on Caitlin Clark winning the regular season MVP.
- Clark is still day-to-day with a groin injury and should return to the court this week.
Just last month, bet365 inked a deal with the WNBA's Chicago Sky. This week, the online sports betting juggernaut teamed up with the Indiana Fever.
“Exciting, record-breaking, and hungry for more, the Indiana Fever certainly embodies the Never Ordinary spirit, and we are incredibly enthusiastic about the partnership,” said a bet365 spokesperson. “With the new season underway, it’s the perfect time for us to share our unrivaled bet365 experience with Fever fans.”
The Fever are equally pleased with the union.
“We’re excited to team up with bet365 and bring fans a premium mobile sports betting experience,” said Fever COO and GM Amber Cox. “This partnership is all about creating more ways for fans to connect with our team from tipoff to the final buzzer.”
This recent move by bet365 is part of a strategy to expand its U.S. presence. And with the Fever’s popularity, driven in part by the team’s sensational point guard Caitlin Clark, bet365 is likely to attract more U.S. bettors. In 2024, Clark won the WNBA Rookie of the Year award, breaking the WNBA rookie scoring record.
Fans can expect to see a strong bet365 brand presence across Fever Radio Network broadcasts, the team’s social media content, and the Fever’s mobile app.
With or without Clark, the Fever are hot
Clark has been plagued by a couple of nagging injuries this season. Earlier this year, she was out for three weeks with a quad injury. Currently, Clark is day-to-day with a groin injury but is expected to return to the court sometime this week. Yet even without Clark, the Fever is a team to be reckoned with.
With Clark sidelined, the Fever upset the Minnesota Lynx 74-59 to win last week’s WNBA Commissioners Cup. Minnesota won the Cup last year and the game was played on the Lynx’ home court. But the Fever kept the Lynx scoreless for more than eight minutes to close out the first half. Meanwhile, Natasha Howard’s defensive prowess kept a lid on Minnesota’s Napheesha Collier, who only managed a dozen points in the game.
