With hundreds of different betting sites, finding the best can be confusing. I'll guide you through and find the most suitable bookie for you.
Luke here with this week's sports betting sites roundup.
We're heading into a packed weekend, with the FA Cup Final on Saturday and the PGA Championship unfolding over the next few days. Alongside the sporting action, I've been diving into the latest UK betting industry trends and operator news here at OLBG.

Content Updates
On the operator front, I've conducted my review of Bet Ahoy, who have recently launched. It's a solid, independent platform that looks like a good all-round option, and it's always nice to see Best Odds Guaranteed in some form. For those hunting for their offers and deals, I've put everything that you need to know in the Bet Ahoy Offers Page, so it's worth a look if you're looking to maximise your bankroll.
On the downside, there are a number of different sportsbooks that have announced their closure and will be winding down business in the coming weeks. They are:
- mr.play
- Neptune Play
- MagicRed
- Apuestarey
- Luckster
- ZetBet
If you have any funds with any of the above brands, you'll need to withdraw them as soon as possible or risk losing them when they close completely.
