Full bet365 Bookmaker Review
Overall, Bet365 is one of the best bookmakers available in the UK. As mentioned, they make our top 10 for 14 different categories – an absolutely huge amount that very few other bookmakers can compete with.
A huge part of this is down to the markets offered, the consistency of their odds and their dedication to covering smaller sports properly, giving them the love that they deserve. There aren’t many sportsbooks where you can bet on surfing, WWE, water polo and the like, but here you can.
If you are a bettor that likes to look around, has a few accounts, and is constantly trying to squeeze out the best value in upcoming markets, you have to have a Bet365 account. There are simply too many parts of the UK betting landscape that Bet365 excel at for you to not take advantage.
You can see in the chart below that not only does bet365 score in more Top 10s than any other bookie, but it also has the best OLBG user rating, too.

Who are bet365?
A year after the domain bet365.com was purchased in 2000, the brand was launched, and in 20 years has become one of the worlds largest online gambling companies with a turnover in excess of $45billion generating revenues of $2.8b or more in 2020, a majority stakeholding in Stoke City FC. The company has a workforce of over 5000 employees and is widely considered one of the best bookmakers in the country.
At OLBG we collect data on every bookmaker’s service, compiling the best bookies in a variety of categories. Based on this data, no bookmaker makes our top 10 in more categories than Bet365 – it does so for 19 different reasons. Its exceptional performance is inarguable.
It's no surprise to see Bet365 are top of the list for best bookies for in-play betting with the bookmaker ticking the boxes for a whole host of reasons. Bet365 have exceptional live streaming available on their platform across a whole bunch of sporting events for you to follow the action as it happens.
Bet365 Live Betting
Bet365's live betting allows you to bet in-play as the event happens with stat screens showing what is going on on the pitch.
The bookmaker is also best for quick cash-out with their cash out option great where others might be suspended while the action is taking place. Quick bet means that you don't miss out on the value with the processes speeding up enabling faster placement of the in-play bet.
Bet365 Live Streaming
As mentioned above, bet365 have fantastic live streaming options available on both their app and website with 1000's of live streamed events every month. Their reliable and quality streams make it easier for you as a bettor to follow the action as it happens live while being able to bet on the event.
The fact that it works so well on the mobile app is a massive positive with live streaming struggling with some other bookmakers when it comes to using their apps. Horse Racing streaming is available too with any racing screened on SkySportsRacing or Racing TV being streamed on their platform as well as meetings all around the world.
Bet365 Betting Odds
Above are details on which sports Bet365 were most competitive last month. The percentage figure demonstrates how often they were best odds, or joint best odds for each sport when compared with other bookmakers EG: 60% means if you used only this bookmaker for a sport, you would have got the best odds 60% of the time.
Bet365 are regularly one of the top bookies for competitive odds. You can see from the table above that they are regularly at, or near, the top, when compared to other UK bookies.
The current Bet365 sign up offer for new customers is available on both versions of their mobile betting app currently, So if you want to grab a tasty new account bonus right now you could do much worse than to download the Bet365 app and get started on there. Bet365 have a very decent live streaming service for their customers, and this is something that app users can take advantage of as well.
The Bet365 app gives a great experience of watching sport on your mobile device so you'll be able to watch what's happening with your bets clearly and easily.
Compare to the best betting sites in the UK.
One of the best things I used when reviewing bet365's app is the ability to directly share links of your bets with your friends, meaning that they can upload your bet directly in their own app, without having to copy it manually. You can see in the video below exactly how it works.
Share bet links
⚽ Football Betting
Bet365's high ranking for football betting as shown in the table above is important as the better prices allow for better winnings. With the vast majority of bets placed on football being accumulators even a small increase of odds over other bookies is massive. Slightly different odds when it comes to bets in your acca's can make a massive difference in your overall winnings.
The level of football coverage among bookies these days is excellent but bet365 really take it to another level. They offer the best football bets in Finland, Gibraltar, Macau and El Salvador and even in the more popular countries that people bet on bet365 cover an amazing depth of leagues. There are five Italian leagues to bet on and in Germany you can bet on regional leagues and even the U19 Bundesliga.
Bet Builder
With their sheer range in selections, as well as prices, it’s no real surprise that bet365 comes out on top. Whereas some bookmakers offer bet builders on football, if at all, bet365 has them across multiple sports, including tennis, rugby and basketball. On top of that, they can be included in multiples – great news for fans of accumulators and higher odds. Bet365’s bet builder is available in-play, and all selections have cash out.
Bet365's Player Builder is a lovely twist on bet builder features, allowing users to tailor their bets specifically to individual players. You can see it in action in the demonstration video below.

Bonuses
Boosts, Multiboosts, Bonuses, Freerolls, Specials, Offers, Cashbacks all have featured on Bet365 Promotions.These promos are ever-changing, so please check them out to see what is new this month.
Cash Out
Bet365 offers Cash Out, allowing users to settle bets early. Availability varies based on event, market, and timing.
🏇 Horse Racing
Bet365 are currently ranked among the best in our overall best bookies for horse racing list due to the odds and bonuses offered. We've taken plenty of things into account, including odds, event coverage, ante post markets, cash out, BOG and much more, and it's bet365 that ranks no.6.
Bet365 Best Odds Guaranteed offer is available daily on all UK and Ireland horse racing bets, from 8.00 am. For example, if you get a tip for horse racing, take the 6/1 Early Price and your selection wins at 8/1, Bet365 will pay you at 8/1. The Bet365 BOG applies to single and multiple bets placed at early prices and there is no max restriction in terms of maximum benefit pay out.
You can see in more detail how bet365 compares against some of the other top horse racing betting sites in the chart below.

🇺🇸 US Sports Betting
A full range of American Sports is available. At the time of writing, only the MLB season isn’t up and running, with the other major leagues in full swing. Beyond that, and maybe somewhat surprisingly given its lack of international racing coverage, there are lots of international markets for these sports, particularly for basketball.
🏈 American Football Betting
Bet365 doesn’t quite compete with our top three in terms of the odds on offer in American football, but arrive at the relevant section of their site or app and you’ll be flooded with bet boosts. And that doesn’t just go for the NFL, when college football is on, there’s plenty of boosts there, also – think mini bet builders across the day’s slate all with odds made more enticing. There is also acca insurance and live streaming to boot.
It’s worth checking out why Bet365 makes our best NFL betting sites at no.4 in more detail.
🏀 Basketball Betting
Bet365 covers both the men’s and women’s NBA, as well as global coverage in Australia, China and across Europe, and even Under 20 competitions. For a large amount of these bet365 also offers live streaming. Regular bet365 users will find the basketball section familiar, while newcomers will quickly familiarise themselves with the clear, considered layout. Unfortunately there are no stats to go with the markets or bet builder. That said, bet365 absolutely deserves its spot among the best NBA betting sites.
Keep tabs on the top basketball betting sites though, to see in more detail why they top our list.
⚾ Baseball Betting
Head to the baseball section on the bet365 site or app and you’ll see plenty of baseball-specific bet boosts, on pre-made bet builders and boosted trebles. And you can also factor in baseball bets into multi-sport accas that are also boosted. There are no stats, but the odds are competitive, there’s a good range of events covered and market depth is above average. What sets them apart, however, is that you can live stream baseball games on their site – something not common across UK baseball sites.
🏒 Ice Hockey Betting
Like the basketball offering, as well as the biggest league in the sport, the NHL, there are a huge number of other leagues around the globe. You can bet on games in Russia, South Korea, Sweden, the Czech Republic and more. There are good outright future markets for NHL betting, and the markets within games are loaded.
🐕 Greyhound Betting
It’s easy to assume that the best bookmaker for greyhound racing would be an old school, legacy name that’s been pricing up the dogs for decades, but it’s actually bet365. The UK’s first online-only bookmaker scores the highest overall mark across our research. They’ve nailed their platform generally, and when it comes to greyhound racing there is brilliant event coverage, as many markets as possible, fantastic promotions and live streaming. On top of that you can even search by dog – an intuitive feature that has clearly been created by people who bet on greyhounds themselves.

🎯 Darts Betting
Matthew Edgar
- Your Darts Betting Guide 👍
In terms of darts betting sites in the UK, Bet365 makes our top 10. Plenty of markets, with a brilliant in-play and live betting option, and excellent live streaming of a whole host of darts events throughout the year. Bet365 consistently churns a great service regardless of the sport, and it’s no different when it comes to darts. Their odds aren’t quite as good as other bookmakers in our top 10, but they more than make up for it through their event coverage and markets on those said events.
I’m always on the lookout for great snooker betting sites. There aren’t any snooker specific promotions that I can see at the time on bet365, but you can use general ones across the site for snooker bets. In their snooker section they have everything you’re after – bet builders, in-play betting, cash out, live streaming and, to top it off, a load of in-depth statistics to help you out when deciding where your money should go.
Bet365 is the 3rd best rugby betting site in the country. Overall bet365’s score in this top 10 is the same as Unibet one place above, it’s down to bettor preference in terms of what you’re after. For markets per game, bet365 is better, with more on offer, but doesn’t quite match Unibet for odds or event coverage (despite still being very good). They also have more promotions, particularly rugby-specific ones, so there’s normally an offer to boost to take advantage of.
You can see how it compares in more detail in the chart below.

🏏 Cricket Betting
James Banting
Expert Guide
Bet365 is the fourth best cricket betting site. Bet365 provides bettors with brilliant odds, as we’ve come to expect, and in terms of cricket betting sites, it’s no different here. The popular bookmaker, often the first port of call for many, doesn’t provide the stats of boosts that other bookies do, but with such a solid offering in terms of markets and odds, they have to be included.
By James Banting - Bet365 excels at tennis coverage and is the best place in the country to go, according to the top 10 tennis betting sites on OLBG. The heavyweight excels at event coverage and market variety, while also offering live streaming of certain matches, in-play betting, a whole tonne of tennis related promotions, not to mention bet builder options and cash out. But what really singles out Bet365, plus a couple of more, against other tennis betting sites, is their retirement guarantee. You back a player who retires mid-match, you’ll get your stake back.

🏌️ Golf Betting
By James Banting - For the last Masters, bet365 offered 36 different markets, including top 5 finish, top 10 finish, top 20 finish, 72 hole match betting, top left-handed player and to make or miss the cut. It’s great to see this level of coverage. Aside from the Ryder Cup and the four Majors, all of which are being played next year, there are the likes of LIV Golf Events that I’d expect to see, and a number of smaller events – Andalucia Masters, BMW Ladies Championship, plus a few more. Also, the odds are better than most so I’ll keep bet365 in mind when the majors roll around.
🏎️ Motorsports Betting
Andy Powell
Expert Guide
Aside from Formula 1, Bet365 also offers markets on Supercars, Speedway and NASCAR. I love to see this level of market depth for the upcoming Grand Prix – with a load of different markets covered and plenty to bet on.
Bet365 remains a very solid option as a boxing betting site. Bettors who tend to wager on other sports will be familiar with Bet365’s layout and app, with boxing part of the same slick operation. There is an enormous range of markets, covering more fights than most other bookmakers, with great options for bet builders and accumulators. Bet365 makes our top 10 best boxing sites for good reason.
Whilst these sports might sound very niche, there is a massive market for fans, and millions of them in the UK, so good coverage of niche sports and events is key to be reviewed on OLBG.

🗳️ Political Betting
Nigel Skinner
Expert Guide
Bet365’s UK political betting offering is as good as most, certainly in terms of markets available, and odds on those markets. While it may not be no.1 for its political output, it’s still a brilliant service on offer. Both their site and app impress, and in political markets, their odds are extremely competitive.
Bet365’s specials markets are fantastic. I can see markets, with good odds, for a number of TV shows such as Strictly Come Dancing and I’m A Celebrity, but also things like the Booker Prize and the Christmas Number One. On top of that, there are markets for TV shows in other countries (something you rarely see, apart from the US), with shows in Italy and Sweden covered.
With over 300 slot games available on Bet365 the casino side of things offers great quantity and quality when it comes to casino gambling. The Bet365 casino is known for its quality with ratings of 4.6 out of 5 from the overall ratings that are provided on our site. Bet365 also offers multiple versions of roulette and blackjack on the site and app with other games such as Baccarat and Live Poker. There are also the great new live casino games that are constantly added like Monopoly Live and Crazy Time.
Check our Casino Sites page for dedicated new online casinos and slot sites. You can also check out OLBG’s latest addition; our Best Bingo Sites. All of which are, obviously, sites fully licensed by the UK Gambling Commission.
Bet365 Account Opening Process
It is now par for the course due to legal requirements imposed for sports and online casino play that at some point you will have to verify and identify yourself by uploading a series of documents to prove your identity, including name and address as well as payment methods and sometimes.
Driving License or Passport
Bank Statement or Utility Bill
Payment Method
If this is the first time you have come across this, do not worry, it is standard practice and a legal requirement for online casinos to offer you an online gaming experience.
Navigation and user experience [desktop v mobile]
The Bet365 site and app both have a similar layout with the green and black colours staying consistent throughout the platform. Bet365's low score on both the App Store and Google Play may point towards a poor user experience overall but there are still positives to be had.
Our user reviews point towards the reliability of the site being impressive plus the app being good due to the fast sign in process on there.
Placing a bet
This section should only really highlight if there are issues, as the process is almost identical on every site. Within a few minutes of signing up to Bet365 I placed a couple of bets on different sports, one of which took advantage of the welcome offer, and I used their bet builder feature, which was very indeed. Placing a bet on Bet365 is straightforward with the betslip instantly appearing on your screen when you click a selection.
Managing your account
As mentioned above, the design really makes this tick. On the desktop version, it’s stuff left and right of screen (menu and search to the left, account and bets to the right). On the app, it’s at the bottom, with search, account and bets at the top, with a main nav bar at the bottom that can get you to different sports, in-play options and casino (plus return to the home page).
Managing your account on Bet365 is simple with a wide range of options available on the account page including banking, gambling controls and activity. The my activity section shows you your win/loss for 7 days, 30 days or 12 months including Net Deposits and Deposit limits that you have set too.
Bet365 Managing Your Account
Managing your account is a crucial part of your betting experience and Bet365 make it easy for you to navigate through the different sections.
The messages section of the account shows you any sort of messages that Bet365 send you with them mostly being offers and promotions you can get.
Responsible Gambling Features
You can set your deposit limit while you’re signing up; long before you’ve got close to actually making a bet.
There is also a Settings tab at the bottom of the page, no matter what page you’re on, that allows you to make changes to limits, as well as odds formats, or odds change preferences/notifications.
There are the following measures within its functionality:
Deposit Limit
Loss Limit
Session Limit
Wagering Limits
Reality Check
Time-Out
Self-Exclusion
Support Groups & Organisations
Advice on Keeping in Control
Parental Controls
Self-Assessment
All are explained in further detail on their safer gambling page. As well as this, on the same page they list links to the likes of the National Gambling Helpline, Be Gamble Aware and the National Gambling Treatment Service.

Excellent Bookmaker - Great App!!!
Reviewed: July 2025
by martkal44
Bet365 are Number One!
When it comes to finding the best bookmaker, you need several things. The first for me is the use of a great website and app that is both easy to use/navigate and free of any lag. I get exactly this from Bet365.
The app is great and probably the best bookmaker app to navigate in my opinion when comparing to others. I do 99% of my betting through my smartphone so this is crucial and never fails me. Other betting websites and apps can be very very slow, which will irritate you and you'll find yourself clicking wrong selections into your betting slip.
Their customer service is fantastic. Never had any problems when going onto live chat with them.
The range of markets are very extensive. There is always something to bet on from top-flight football through to lower league youth football. Most of my betting is done on football but there is a whole host of other sports you can play through with them such as ice hockey, basketball, tennis, snooker, darts etc. So there is always something to bet on if its just a bet that you're after.
Plenty of markets also have a live stream of the event. Place a bet on a horse race and you get to watch the race via the website or app.
Some football matches and other sports are always been streamed too. Perfect for early hours of the morning when you want to watch Aussie League or MLS Football.
The only downside to Bet365 but I don't feel it takes away from 5 star rating is they could offer some better bonuses for exsisting players. I occasionly get a free £5 but feel they could offer a little more. I know we can't have free bets all the time as it's a business at the end of the day, but compared to something like Sky Bet Club or William Hill with their money back by missing by one on an accumulator I feel like Bet365 are slightly behind.
They do however offer a free £50 bet in play offer sometimes. Rules apply but this is great. I won't bore you about the details but basically it's a matched free bet in play that gets refunded if it loses. One is happening tomorrow on the Arsenal vs Bayern game at the time of writing this post.
The play through requirements are difficult on your opening bonus especially if you max the 100% deposit bonus of £250. It is possible however with patience. The same goes for other websites usually with bonus requirements.
All in all a great website which is very flexible and easy to navigate. A huge range of markets to bet on both pre-match and in-play.
Number One for me. Been a member now since day one I turned 18 and that was 8 years ago.
An all in all great company

All That a Player Needs

When we talk about bookmakers, there are three basic topics:
1. Trust & consistency
2. Odds value
3. Betting variety coverage.
By using Bet365 for many years up to now I had never even a small problem with my interactive banking. Easy depositing and immediate withdrawals. I don't need to talk about their odds value since an easy research between the odds compirison pages shows that Bet365 are honest without trying to exploit the players. As far as the variety of the sports and the bet types, I can't find a better place.
But there are some little things that they made me bind with them. Not only the free bonus bets they offer me from time to time Not even the early payout in specific kind of bets Not as well the money back given in some bets.
When you have a question or a problem they are always there to support with many ways and their response even by mail is very quick.
Extra points: their live-in-play and their statistics section.
I could say more but it may look suspicious. Everybody is free to chose and my choice is Bet365.

I have accounts with most of the online firms and can honestly say 365 are top dogs. The website is so easy to navigate and it caters for the majority of the bets and sports I require. The football is my favorite with so many different markets especially the corner markets when will the competition realize how many punters won't go near their 2nd rate sites, with limited markets. The excellent cash out offers, that are actually there from the placement of the bet and don't keep disappearing like a few I could mention. Every body has a senior moment now and again but the customer service is the best in the bizz to help get things sorted. Nice touch to get a loyalty bonus every week but it should be turnover/loss related as it can feel like you have been given a penny when you've done in a grand. The online statements still don't show a running balance any where and you have been told. Still that's my only negativity on a tickety boo company that tries to look after it's punters. Cheers Stod.

Easy to load and disperse funds, and lots of free bets!

I should say up front, i'm a mug punter forced onto the tinterweb due to covid locking down the highstreet scene. I joined bet365 justbecause i kept seeing the links on sofascore, and i found i could join with no hassle within minutes. I was concerned i had few documents but by linking debit cards and paypal they accepted these immediately and after initial minimal verification i could load and place bets.
For me, their 10p minimum bet is brilliant. It has enabled me to explore strategies for accas and trixies that were beyond my pocket on the highstreet £1 minimum. I now use these as a testing ground before upscaling in the real world.
During the euros and wimblefon, i was given £70 of free bets, a fiver on each of Englands matches (£10 in the latter stages) and a couple on Novak in the tennis. I thought this was generous considering i only load £15 a week on average and regularly withdraw funds to paypal as a reservoir against losses rather than maintain a large balance. I even messaged them to thank them and won £55 on these free bets alone!
I signed up for their prepaid mastercard. Essentially your winnings (£5 at a time) can be instantly loaded onto the card and used at a cash machine or at me local pie shop! It's an instant means of realising your winningsor moving cash back and forth. I load the 365 account with paysafecard or paypal and drop winnings onto the mastercard for safekeeping or realworld use.
Two niggles; they do mither you if you stay logged in too long - a frustration as i watch the tennis on their feeds that you can only do if youre logged in. Also at times of high demand, their cash out options can mysteriously disappear only to reappear once a popular event has ended! Annoying but you just have to be careful if youre betting at a time when popular events are on.
All in all, i have no online sites to compare to, but i'm happy with this.
Hope that helps and good luck!

All good tbh

All good, the withdrawal is amazing to be honest, money gets on my account in a fast time. Sometimes the odds change a lot which I do not like it and the thing why I am not giving a 5 star which I should have is because ,,EARLY PAYOUT,, is not on most of the leagues or litterally every league. You have early payout on peruvian league but do not have on belgian league. Which is kinda weird. My opinion put early payout on litterally 100% european leagues , 80% south american leagues (you have early payout on colombia 2 league and not on uruguay 1 league ) , some on africa , about asia it's all good ( add on South Korea!! ) , north america is fine just for the mls. That's gonna be it. ADD EARLY PAYOUT GET 5 STARS! .
And of course, give more bonuses if you can and some bet credits as a loyalty (I know you give them once a month but hey, we are betting litterally everyday, atleast give it twice or three times a month) :))

A Comprehensive Look at bet365: Abundant Events but Limited Play
Reviewed: July 2025
by HeHateMe
bet365 is a platform that boasts an impressive array of sports events, catering to a wide spectrum of interests and preferences among sports enthusiasts. From mainstream sports like football and basketball to niche interests such as table tennis and more, bet365 seemingly has it all. However, beneath the surface of this extensive offering lies a practice that may deter seasoned bettors: stringent account monitoring and limiting of winning players.
At first glance, bet365 appears to be a haven for sports betting aficionados, with its intuitive interface and diverse selection of events from around the globe. Whether you're a casual bettor looking to wager on popular matches or a seasoned pro seeking out obscure opportunities, the platform presents itself as a one-stop destination.
Yet, for those who demonstrate consistent success in their wagers, the experience can quickly sour. bet365 has gained a reputation for closely scrutinizing the activity of its users, especially those who exhibit a pattern of winning bets. This surveillance often culminates in the imposition of limits on such accounts, effectively restricting the amount of money they can wager or even outright suspending their access to certain markets.
Me & my friends have personally suffered from their practice to limit accounts of winning players without them providing information on why they did it.
When they limit your account you can only place 1 euro or lower and can't use cashout option so that completely leaves you handicapped.

Easy to use app & bet builder
Reviewed: July 2025

I quite like the bet builder features on 365 which can also be combined with other bets you build to make some interesting exotic bets, I don't think this is possible anywhere else. The odds at 365 are generally pretty good compared with the market, they also have some nice features like bore draw and the ITV 4/1 horse racing offers. So why the 3 stars? Well on my iphone the app is annoying, they had it good at one point and then messed it up, now it comes up with an annoying logout reality check every hour, screen s and bets that don't auto refresh, I am forever closing it and relaunching it. Painful.

A warning

A warning to all you guys who have been gushing about Bet365. Have no doubt whatsoever that as soon as they see you making a profit they will act as all bookmakers do and restrict your account to such an extent that it is not worth having. I believe that they do not do this as quickly as some of their competitors but as sure as night follows day they will get round to it. And yes, I am most certainly talking from experience

Puzzling restrictions
Reviewed: July 2025

Cut back on the horses which I knew was coming, but restricted on everything, went to have a four fold on the football & I was restricted to 25p at odds of less than 4/1 !
Beyond ridiculous surely in this day & age they can restrict you for one sport but not allow to to at least play on another, would be one star but its the best firm out there if you can bet freely.

Used to really like B365, but it’s disappointing that I can no longer use them. A few decent wins and your account is completely gone. A real shame to see a multi million pound company become so greedy

Problem bookmaker
Reviewed: July 2025

The opening free bet offer looks good but is really complicated and not worth the hassle. Very easy to deposit money but very difficult to withdraw when you win and believe me they do not like anyone winning. Received Emails from them on numerous occasions which had the completely wrong username. The live chat is a bit of a joke with a random number of people supposedly in a queue and once you get connected.......do not even go there, it is an hour of your life you will never get back. I have plenty of accounts with other online bookmakers for years and never had so much trouble as with Bet365. Would recommend to avoid this site.

Stakes dialed back to a pound or two if you win consistently
Reviewed: July 2025

I used to bet with Bet365 every day on a variety of sports. They had good bonuses and BOG, etc. But after a sustained profitable run, I found my maximum stake was reduced to a pound or two, even on major events like the Grand National. The maximum I seemed to be allowed to win was ten pounds. My account is essentially useless now.
