Content Updates
BetCrown has arrived on our desk.
We've conducted a full review, running through their pros and cons, checking out their apps, and assessing their free bets, offers, promotions and more, all with a mind to ensuring that bettors understand if these are something that they should be considering. It's worth pointing out that their football betting is excellent - with great markets, odds and promos including Early Payout and Bore Draw, plus Acca Boosts and Odds Boosts.
As well as BetCrown, our Irish members should know that we've reviewed VivatBet, too. The best thing about VivatBet is the range of sports that they offer - you'll be hard-pushed to find a bookie in Ireland that offers more sports to bet on. Think sailing, bowling, lacrosse, pickleball and more.
Our news series continues to examine trends in the UK sports betting industry. This week's two pieces, which have gone live, are:
Is Operator Differentiation Now Structural Rather Than Promotional?
Is Platform Stability Becoming a Competitive Metric?
What's Happening Next Week
The World Cup is our obvious focus, and will be for the next few weeks, but let's not forget we've still got the last few days of Royal Ascot, too. Our news series, examining UK betting trends, keeps ticking over, and there will be a full rundown on all the World Cup promos, and an exclusive competition, in this afternoon's Betting Brief newsletter.
