DENVER — An online sports betting company is establishing its U.S. headquarters in Denver, bringing more than 800 jobs to the area.
“We are thrilled to welcome bet365 and nearly 1,000 jobs to Colorado and congratulate them on the grand opening of their new U.S. headquarters here," Colorado Gov. Jared Polis said in a statement.
United Kingdom-based bet365 expects to onboard more than 300 employees in its first year of operations in Denver, with 50 employed by the time of opening. The company will offer positions across customer service, legal, marketing and software development.
Polis said the jobs "will help Coloradans earn a good living and support their families."
The company renovated two floors, or 120,000 square feet, at the One Platte building located at 1701 Platte St. The UK-based company will focus on building brand awareness in the U.S.
