A privately owned business founded in 2000, Bet365 has grown from a small team working out of portable buildings in Stoke-on-Trent to a global brand recognised for its innovative technology platform and 24/7 sports betting services.
Uniting Ambition has partnered with Bet365 for over 17 years, seeing the business scale from just over 100 to nearly 2,000 technologists.

As Bet365 scaled rapidly, the company needed to evolve its technology infrastructure to meet global demand and support its expanding product and engineering functions. Bet365 required a trusted partner to help build out its software engineering capability, particularly in recent years as it has transitioned from Microsoft-based technologies to Go, while addressing challenges around location, talent competition and cultural fit.
Initially focused on project management and infrastructure recruitment, Uniting Ambition shifted its best delivery talent into software engineering as Bet365’s priorities evolved. Today, the partnership is centred on placing high-quality engineers into core technical teams responsible for mission-critical systems, from sportsbook platforms to international payments and user verification.
Roles covered:
Uniting Ambition operates as a true extension of Hillside Technology, with regular on-site visits, weekly reviews and deep collaboration with hiring managers. The team supports across market mapping, cultural fit analysis and a smooth candidate journey that reflects Bet365’s high standards.
To date, Uniting Ambition has placed over 500 professionals into Bet365. With talent hubs in Stoke and Manchester, and hiring demands spanning multiple global regions, Bet365 remains a complex and high-stakes client. But thanks to a consistent, long-term relationship built on delivery and trust, Uniting Ambition continues to be a core partner in scaling the technology behind one of the most transactional online platforms in the world.
