Content Updates
We've reviewed two new bookies this week: IvyBet and RightBet.
Both of these bookies are from Betable, who, despite their overall experience, are relatively new to the UK betting industry. These two bookies come after BetAhoy and are all pretty impressive.
The downside to both is that there is no horse racing or greyhound betting, so if that's what you're after, you won't find it here. That's the only real blot because overall, these are really good sportsbooks. I particularly like the football betting, how they cover US sports and the respective markets, and their My Combo feature, which preloads interesting accas based on what returns you're after. There are also plenty of Odds Boosts, mainly for football, but across other sports too, including basketball, ans free bets to be earned every weekend. Check them out.
Our news series continues to examine trends in the UK sports betting industry. This week's two pieces, which have gone live, are:
Is In-Play Betting Growth Changing Operator Strategy?
Are UK Bettors Becoming More Selective in 2026?
What's Happening Next Week
This weekend there is live racing from Goodwood, Haydock Park, Pontefract and Downpatrick, the last day of the Premier League, the Play-Offs across the football league, and the French Open on the horizon. Our news series, examining UK betting trends, keeps ticking over, and there will be another full rundown in this afternoon's Betting Brief newsletter.
