Bet365 is licensed and allowed to launch in Illinois, which means it will offer a promo code for new customers.
Launching soon would make sense. The NCAA Tournament tips off March 18, with Cooper Flagg and Duke (+325) favored to win it all at bet365.
The book is currently legal in 11 states but could soon expand to two more, including Illinois. That would open the door for residents to grab the promotions offered at bet365 just in time for March Madness.
Bet365 declined to say when the sportsbook will be launching in Illinois.

Best bets for March Madness at bet365
Alabama (+1100) to win the national championship
The Crimson Tide played in the toughest conference (SEC) in the nation this season and went toe-to-toe in two thrillers with Auburn, which has the second-shortest odds to win the title and could earn the No. 1 overall seed.
Alabama has an experienced backcourt led by Mark Sears, and guard play is typically a key factor in navigating the tournament field while avoiding upsets. If the bracket breaks right and ’Bama doesn’t have to face a bigger team, like Florida, that could bully it down low, the Tide might just be able to make a run for the program’s first national title.
