“We will have thousands of markets available, including for your local favorites, live in-game betting, and daily promotions and bonuses for players.”

With the exception of Tennessee, William Hill is currently live in Colorado, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Nevada, New Jersey, Virginia, West Virginia and the nation’s capital, Washington DC.
William Hill also powers trading services for the Rhode Island Lottery’s mobile sportsbook.
Sports betting in Tennessee
In late May 2019, Tennessee became the fourth state to legalise sports betting. Governor Bill Lee allowed the state’s sports betting bill to pass into law without his signature, despite being opposed to the expansion of gambling.
The state’s entire sports betting market is online as the state has no land-based casino venues.
Tennessee’s sports betting market launched on 1 November 2020 with DraftKings, FanDuel, BetMGM and Tennessee Action24/7 going live. In just three months since launch, Tennessee has seen its monthly sports betting handle surpass $200m.
According to the latest figures from the Tennessee Education Lottery (TEL), Tennessee bettors wagered $211.3m on sporting events in January.
January’s handle marked a significant increase on the $180.9m wagered on sporting events in December 2020.
Bettors in the state managed to win back $190.4m from the state’s sportsbooks in January. This left operators in the state with $21.8m in sports betting revenue.
