How We Tested The Best Betting Sites
Using data from the only data-driven UK Bookmaker Awards, MyBettingSites presents a comprehensive list of the best betting sites. We do these awards in collaboration with our parent company, Better Collective.
But before we get into the results, let’s take a quick look at the process for creating our list:
A team were dedicated to collecting data through large-scale surveys on betting habits and markets.
UK specific focus groups were used to collect data.
1.8m data points were collected across the year.
Winners were finalised using the data collected
An annual award show took place to celebrate the best betting sites and was attended by bookmakers.
We explain the process taken by the Bookmaker Awards in more detail. However, to help you find out who won, we’ll go straight into the best betting sites for each category and why they performed well.
From The Author
We’ve been betting for twenty years and have ten years of writing about the best betting sites and offers. During that time we’ve learnt a lot and aim to bring you the experiences we’ve gained. If there’s anything on this page you’re unsure of, or simply have questions, head over to our About Us page and send us a message. We’ll be happy to get back to you and remember, please gamble responsibly.
Betting Site Of The Week – Virgin Bet
The betting site of the week is Virgin Bet, one of our favourite betting sites, despite failing to win anything at the Bookmaker Awards. Firstly, they have a strong welcome offer. You can get £20 in free bets to use on Virgin Bet when you deposit and wager funds of just £10 on a betting market with minimum odds of 1/2 (1.50). The free bets are valid for 7 days as well, which is a slight negative, as some other operators in the betting industry have longer expiry date on the free bets on offer. They have some great existing customer offers, which includes promotions such as Price Boosts and their free-to-play Fives game, which could see you win up to £50 for each goal a player in your team scores in the week’s Premier League matches. With all of these promotions on offer, it’s not at all surprising to see that Virgin Bet are a popular choice amongst punters, as they’re keeping their customers entertained throughout the year and pulling out all the stops for big events like Euro 2024 and the Grand National.
The Top 10 Betting Sites
Discover the best UK betting sites, free bets, and betting offers for March 2024, rated and reviewed regularly by our experts. Our top 10 betting sites list combines data from the UK Bookmaker Awards and our first-hand experience. Find out who makes our list and why.
1. bet365
bet365 leads the way as one of the best betting sites and a personal favourite of ours. Their high standards were recognised at the 2023 Bookmaker Awards, winning categories such as Best Sports Bookmaker, Best Welcome Offer and Best Horse Racing Odds. And with back to back wins as best bookmaker, having also won in 2022, they’re hard to beat.
We were particularly impressed with their range of statistical-based betting markets on leagues such as the Premier League, with markets such as free-kicks, throw-ins, and goal-kicks, something that isn’t available with the majority of other bookmakers.
A couple of negatives on this popular betting site include E-wallets such as Skrill and Neteller not being accepted as valid deposit and withdrawal methods, as well as their traders restricting customers that win consistently to minimal amounts for future bets.
Winner of Best Sports Bookmaker at the Bookmaker Awards.
Award winning welcome offer.
Impressive statistical-based markets
Account restrictions for players that win consistently
Unibet are an industry favourite and came in second in the Best Sports Bookmaker category at the Bookmaker Awards 2023. They also featured within the top-five for multiple categories such as Best Welcome Offer, Best User Experience and Best Banking.
They have a site with less of a modern look compared to some other betting sites, which is one of the few negatives that we have to write about. But they make up for that with in-depth betting markets on popular sports such as football, tennis, and basketball. Some examples of this being the case is stat markets such as how many shots a team will have in a Premier League match, or how many points a player will score in the NBA.
They also boast a dedicated betting tips section available on horse racing. Something that sets them apart from the rest.
Second place in Best Sports Bookmaker category
One of the best welcome offers in the industry
Wagering requirements on casino bonus entailed within welcome offer
Sky Bet is one of the few betting sites that come close to the high standards set by bet365. They performed well at the Bookmaker Awards, despite not winning in any category, and gained good scores across the board. For overall Best Sports Bookmaker they finished third, helped by an impressive score in Best User Experience. Something we agreed with. From our experience, Sky Bet has a site that makes it incredibly simple to find any feature.
Sky Bet also came third as the Best Sports Bookmaker 2023: Players Choice, which is a notable accolade. It’s clear to see that their punters are keen on revisiting their site and this is largely down to their existing customer offers. While this wasn’t a specific category in the 2023 awards it will have played a big part in the Players Choice Award. Their loyalty program, which offers plenty of different awards, is a great incentive and games like Super 6, keep players entertained without having to keep depositing funds.
One area of improvement for Sky Bet is their banking options. They don’t have anywhere near as many options available compared to the likes of Ladbrokes, Unibet, and Betfair and they came in seventh overall in the Banking category in the Bookmaker Awards.
Awarded second place for Best User Experience at BC Bookmaker Awards
Top three in the Players Choice Award
Great loyalty program and existing customer offers
Coral came second in the BC Bookmaker Awards for Best Banking Options 2023, with only Sportingbet beating them to the number one spot. Coral offers Coral Connect as a payment option, which allows their customers to deposit as little as £1 through their Coral Connect card, which can then be used to fund bets placed online or in person at one of their shops in the UK.
We found that if you’re a keen statistical-based bettor, then Coral tops the list of where to be, as they cover more leagues than any other UK betting site when it comes to prop markets. Betting markets such as player shots, player passes, and player tackles are just some of what you’ll find on matches in the Premier League, Bundesliga, La Liga, and Serie A.
The downside of winning bets consistently with this popular betting site is that you can find yourself getting restricted to small amounts of money, which might not suit the bettor in terms of the budget they typically use for betting.
Top five in the Best Sports Bookmaker category of the UK Bookmaker Awards
In-depth statistical-based betting markets
Restrictions on accounts winning consistently are frequent
William Hill are a household name in the betting industry, and for any new bettors, you can rest assured knowing that this bookmaker has you covered with plenty of different features. They have a great mobile app that you can use from your selected mobile device, and with dedicated mobile apps to different areas of their site including casino, this is a real positive with this operator.
It’s not just new customers who benefit from their impressive signup offer though, as existing customers can access a range of promotions on various different sports. One area that we found slightly frustrating with William Hill was the competitiveness of their odds on the majority of their betting markets. This claim is backed up by William Hill finishing 19th in the category for Best Football Odds at the 2023 BC Bookmaker Awards.
Ladbrokes are one of our favourite betting sites and are second on our list for a reason. For starters, they offer a wide selection of payment methods, including UKash, ClickNBuy, and Entropay, options that many other sites don’t offer.
They also have a great selection of existing customer offers and games, such as 1-2-Free and Clash Of The Day. If you’re a fan of horse racing betting, then you’ll be pleased to know that Ladbrokes came second in the BC Bookmaker Awards for Best Horse Racing Odds 2023, and with their Best Odds Guaranteed promotion also being available to their customers for racing action in the UK and Ireland, you’ve got the best chance of maximising your potential profit.
Top five in the Players Choice award
Strong range of payment options available
Welcome offer could be more enticing

Paddy Power have plenty of positives that their new and existing customers can look forward to, and it’s no surprise to see that they’re among the top-five for the Best Sports Bookmaker 2023: Players Choice award at the recent BC Bookmaker Awards.
They’ve got a strong sign-up offer that offers free bets when you meet an easy to follow qualifying criteria, and with a great loyalty program also accessible to existing customers, there’s little room to fault them. We found that they’re the ideal bookmaker to use for in-play betting, especially on top football leagues such as the Premier League, La Liga, and Serie A. Paddy Power offers some great in-play specials on matches in these leagues which aren’t available with the majority of other betting sites, which includes betting markets such as how many passes a team will go on to have for the rest of a match, or how many fouls a specific player will give away.

Parimatch is another well-known bookmaker in the betting industry, and if you’re not too familiar with them, you can rest assured that they’re a reliable and trustworthy betting site to use. In the unlikely event that you are to encounter any problems whilst using Parimatch, their useful customer service team are on hand to provide a swift solution. They came fourth overall in the BC Bookmaker Awards for Best Customer Service, which was a better showing than the likes of Sky Bet, bet365, and Ladbrokes for this category.
Their site is easy to use, with everything you’ll need being clearly displayed, and with a strong sign-up offer, they’re a bookmaker that certainly deserve a place within our top-ten, as they’re amongst the so-called bookmaking heavyweights for the overall experience provided by their site.
SBK might only be a mobile-friendly bookmaker, but that hasn’t stopped them from hitting some exciting heights in recent years. At the 2023 UK Bookmaker Awards, they won the award for Best Football Odds, whilst also ranking highly for their welcome offer.
With all of their efforts going into their mobile app, it’ll be somewhat unsurprising to hear that their mobile app is one of the best around in terms of the user-experience, as everything you need is easy to find. However, there are a couple of negatives, with the main one being the lack of depth in their betting markets. SBK are one of the few bookmakers in the UK not to offer statistical-based markets on popular sports such as football, which is an area that is becoming increasingly popular amongst punters nowadays.

Sportingbet are a bookmaker that are certainly heading in the right direction, and their efforts have been recognised in the 2023 BC Bookmaker Awards, as they won the awards for Best Banking Options, and the Most Improved Bookmaker, which is a notable accolade that they should hold onto.
This betting site is one that isn’t as reputable compared to bookmaking heavyweights such as bet365, Coral, and Sky Bet, but that hasn’t stopped them from catching the eye for the right reasons.
Their casino area is another positive that we noticed, with an impressive range of live games to choose from compared to some other operators. The main negative with this betting site was their welcome offer, which includes a qualifying criteria that isn’t the easiest to follow.

You won’t be disappointing with the sporting action which is available to use your free bets on each week with the various betting sites that you sign up with in the UK. Take a look at our recommendations for the best sporting events to use your free bets on.
Tennis: Monte Carlo Masters (Monday – Sunday) – The Monte Carlo Masters is already underway, and with the main draw throwing up plenty of surprise results, there’s plenty of betting opportunities for punters to get involved with this week.
Horse Racing: Lingfield, Newcastle, Southwell, Leopardstown & Wincanton (Monday, Tuesday & Wednesday) – There’s plenty of horse racing action to come this week, with meetings at Lingfield, Southwell, and Wincanton to feature to name a few, whilst there are plenty of other locations hosting races.
Horse Racing: 2024 Grand National (Saturday) – For the best Grand National free bets, head over to our dedicated page. We’re also looking into the Grand National favourites, with Corach Rambler being the favourite to retain their title after an impressive win in last year’s event. If you’re keen on Grand National outsider tips, then you’ll find plenty to offer from our team of betting experts ahead of the meeting at Aintree this weekend.
Football – Champions League (Tuesday & Wednesday) – There’s plenty to look forward to in the football calendar this week, with the Champions League quarter-finals taking place. Arsenal’s clash with Bayern Munich is one of the standout ties, where the German giants will be keen to progress for their only chance of silverware this season.
Football – Premier League (Saturday & Sunday) – The title race heads into another week of eye-catching action, with Liverpool hosting Crystal Palace, Manchester City relegation-threatened Luton Town, and Arsenal facing Aston Villa, in what could be a potentially tricky test for the Gunners, as they look to retain top-spot.

The Best Sports Bookmaker award combines all other categories and gives an overall score. With awards won in Horse Racing Odds, Betting Experience and the Welcome Bonus categories, it’ll come as no surprise that bet365 come out on top. The only area they really struggle with is Customer Service and came close to the top in Market Selection and Football Odds.
Despite failing to win any award, Unibet came in second. They score well across all categories, just falling behind bet365 in the Welcome Bonus category and finishing fourth in both Banking and Horse Racing Odds. They’ll be hoping to improve over the next 12 months to grab themselves a top spot in next year’s awards.
In third, Sky Bet were similar to Unibet and did well across all categories, without coming on top in any. Their best category was Betting Experience, finishing in second behind bet365, but a disappointing performance in the Welcome Bonus category let them down. Something we’re sure will improve at the 2024 awards.

Sign-up offers are the first thing we look at when assessing the best betting sites. They can vary from a ‘% back’ to a standard ‘bet £10 get £40’ with the higher rewards often making for a better offer.
But the Bookmaker Awards go a step further than just highlighting the offers with the most free bets. Focussing on specifics such as min odds, expiration and max deposit, they collected the opinions from thousands of bettors and listed bet365 as the betting site with the best welcome bonus. They have no expiry on free bets, ranked well on minimum deposits and were one of the best for maximum profit.
The size of the bet365 bonus may not match some of the other sign-up offers. However, competing operators often include a hefty amount of wagering requirements. For example, 32 Red and Sportingbet performed badly in this area at the awards. The high wagering can mean that you’ll have to re-bet the money obtained from the bonus, and you may have fewer funds to withdraw. The best welcome offers will have minimal wagering requirements, or none at all, which is exactly why bet365 performed well.
Some welcome offers also have short time periods in which the free bets can be used. This can vary from seven days to 30, with the best, such as bet365 having a lengthy time period for the free bets to be used before they expire.
Sign-up offers can change and we’ll make sure to check for any updates, sign up with the newest offers and relay this information back to you.

Other than sign up offers, the most important things we look for in a bookmaker is the depth in markets. This is based on comprehensive data from thousands of players taking part in large scale surveys. They look into more advanced betting markets on popular sports, such as football, and give each betting site a score. They used market selection on various top leagues, such as La Liga, Premier League, and the Bundesliga and combined the score from each category.
However, the winner in this category didn’t always win the individual subcategories for each league/division. For example, if you’re a fan of betting on La Liga then William Hill came out on top, who came out ahead of the overall winners, ZetBet. Though that’s the only category they didn’t come out first in. The data provided by the Bookmaker Awards was provided on football markets only, which is where ZetBet have excelled, but so if you’re a keen bettor on other sports, then it’s worth looking around for a betting site that covers a strong amount of depth with your chosen sport.
From our experience, we like a betting site with statistical-based betting. For example, this could be for a team to have a certain amount of free-kicks or shots in a match. William Hill and bet365 are the go-to bookmakers for this, as they have some of the most in-depth markets to explore for notable leagues such as the Premier League and Scottish Premiership. A great example of this is on William Hill, who offer odds on markets such as how many shots or tackles a certain player will have in the match. It’s these types of markets that set them clear of other bookmakers, so they’re more than deserving of a spot within the top-five.

We took a look at a direct example of how bet365 impress with their horse racing odds on Meetingofthewaters for the 2024 Grand National. Below, you’ll see the odds bet365 offer on this horse to win the race compared to other betting sites.

Odds displayed are correct as of 5:04 pm, Tuesday 9th April, 2024. Odds are subject to change.
bet365 leads the way as the bookmaker with the best user experience. The testers for this category looked into ease of use, live streaming and the mobile app, giving each site a score. It should also be noted that not all sites offer live streaming, which will have caused them to fall behind in this specific category.
From our experiences, bet365 are a worthy winner and Sky Bet placed in second comes as no surprise. Based on the data, Sky Bet performed better than bet365 for the Ease of Use category, only failing to win overall due to their scores on live streaming and mobile app. The bet365 mobile app outperformed other betting sites by a large margin and only Betway and William Hill came close to matching their quality.
Unibet came in third, just piping William Hill. The Unibet score for Ease of Use also performed better than bet365, however, their score on live streaming let them down and saw them struggle against multiple brands such as Ladbrokes and Coral.
Most Improved Betting Site
Sportingbet
Sportingbet have been named as the Most Improved Bookmaker at the 2023 UK Bookmaker Awards. They’re not a site that everyone has heard of, especially compared to the likes of Sky Bet, William Hill, and bet365, but that hasn’t stopped them from making a name for themselves. We certainly agree with Sportingbet being awarded this notable accolade, as they’ve gone from strength to strength in recent months, which includes covering a fantastic range of banking options, with some such as Skrill and Neteller not always being available elsewhere with the likes of bet365 or Sky Bet.
The data put together for this category looks across a wide range of areas, including banking options, user-experience, welcome offer and odds. Which is then compared to the scores in 2022. It should be noted that if a bookmaker didn’t get a score in 2022 then they’ll not be eligible for this award. Newcomers to the category, who’ll be hoping to compete in 2024, include SBK, LiveScoreBet and ZetBet.
Why We Use The Bookmaker Awards Data
We use the UK Bookmaker Awards to form our list of best betting sites as they provide in-depth data and user-tested evaluations. This is taken from a wide range of punters, rather than simply using our personal experience. You can find the full list of categories in the 2023 event below:

The bookmaker awards data will:
Give you data driven information to help you make an informed decision
Avoid opinions made on a single day by a single writer
Level the playing field and help the newer operators compete with more established betting sites
Maintain a consistency with data pulled over the course of a year
Help you make a choice of betting site based on multiple categories
Why Does The Awards Data Help Bettors?
In the video below, Christian Kirk Rasmussen, COO and Co-Founder of Better Collective, gives more information on the Bookmaker Awards and how it can help you make a more educated decision on the best betting sites.
How Is The Data Gathered?
In each category, the bookmaker is given a score. These scores are then compiled to determine the best betting site. A team of betting experts closely scrutinises each category, ensuring that the data provided by the UK Bookmaker Awards is reliable and valuable, especially for novice bettors.
To score well in the welcome bonus category, bookmakers need an offer that provides a substantial amount in free bets while featuring clear and manageable wagering requirements and qualifying bets. An offer with a sizable amount in free bets might look eye-catching at first glance, but the wagering requirements and qualifying bet could be hefty before a withdrawal can take place.
The market selection category is also assessed similarly, with a focus on a bookmaker’s coverage and depth, including unique options not available with some competitors. Achieving this on their site can lead to a high score.
Customer service is another crucial category. The best UK betting sites offer a range of contact methods, including email, telephone, social media, and live chat. Response time is examined closely; if a bookmaker takes too long to respond, it affects their score.
Payment methods and banking are also essential factors in choosing the best betting site. Top bookmakers provide various deposit and withdrawal options, and the minimum deposit and withdrawal times are closely scrutinised.
Another category assessed in the UK Bookmaker Awards is the betting experience. This is based on user testing and looks into response time, site/app layout and overall site navigation. bet365 won the award for the Best User Experience at the Bookmaker Awards this year, as they edged out the likes of Sky Bet and Unibet to claim the award.
This data-driven system provides users with expert analysis from professionals who understand what makes a great betting site. We aim to help you make an informed decision about which site is best for you.

About The Author – Jacob Potter
I currently work full time in the betting industry, and have been betting on sports online for almost ten years. This experience has seen me build up an extensive knowledge of betting sites from across the UK. Whether it’s the so-called ‘big names’ in the betting industry such as bet365, Sky Bet, and William Hill, or the newer operators such as BetMGM, talkSPORT BET, or 21LuckyBet, I’ll be reporting daily on the latest trends and reviewing their offers.
I have full access to the UK Bookmaker data set, so I can add my own perspective towards that data, which provides clarity behind the expert opinions provided on MyBettingSites.
In my role, I need to spend considerable time researching differentiations between bookmakers, so you can rest-assured that the information provided on which betting sites are the best is from an experienced bettor.
You’ll find all the small details you’ll want to know about each bookmaker, which includes the pros and cons, which I’ve found whilst using these betting sites in a considerable amount of depth.
Best New Betting Sites UK
We know in the UK that an average player has around five betting accounts. It’s possible that someone might want multiple accounts to take advantage of different new and existing welcome offers, whilst being free to place their bet with whichever sportsbook has the best odds for a given sporting event.
Therefore, exploring new betting sites can be worthwhile. As an experienced bettor, I’ll guide you through some of the new betting sites worth considering.
New cust only. 7 days to opt in by placing a £10 qualifying bet at 1/1 (2.0) odds or greater to receive 4x Free Bets: 1 x £10 horse racing, 1 x £10 Bet Builder, 1 x £10 Acca and 1 x £10 football. 7 day expiry. Exclusions apply. Stake not returned. T&Cs apply. 18+. BeGambleAware.org.

BetMGM is one of the newest betting sites we’ve introduced to the site. They’ve got a great sign-up offer which rewards new customers with £40 in free bets when you deposit and wager funds of just £10.
One of the key positives that I noticed was their range of existing customer offers, which offered more depth than other bookmaking heavyweights such as Betfred and Sky Bet to name a few. Promotions such as profit boosts, double your winnings, weekly sports free bets, and jackpots are just some of what’s available with BetMGM, who rank highly amongst our expert analysts on this front.
18+ New customers only. Opt in & bet £10 on any sports at 2.00+ odds within 7 days. No Cash out. Get 3x £10 Free Bets on selected markets. Free bets expire in 7 days. Card payments & Apple Pay only. T&Cs apply. BeGambleAware.org | Please gamble responsibly

The BetVictor Group announced a partnership with talkSPORT to form talkSPORT BET and they’re certainly worth considering. I’m impressed with the clean layout of their site, which is similar to that of BetVictor, who set the bar high with their sportsbook on both the desktop version of their site, as well as their mobile app.
They’re a new betting site with an extensive range of existing customer offers and stand out customer service options with plenty of methods to communicate with an agent. Response times vary as it depends on the time of day in which you ask a question. But with methods such as live chat, Facebook, Twitter, SMS and email all being available, you won’t struggle if you encounter a problem. With talkSPORT Bet, it’s worth remembering that the features you’ll find on their site aren’t different to that of BetVictor or Parimatch, but there’s just a different welcome offer for new customers to take advantage of.
18+, Welcome Bonus: New Players only, 1st Deposit, Min Deposit: £10, max £10 bonus, valid for 14 days, bets must be placed at odds of 1/1 or greater and be settled within 14 days of placement. System bets no eligible.

ZetBet were only formed in 2022, but that hasn’t stopped them from making their mark for all the right reasons. They won the award for Best Markets Selection 2023 at the recent UK Bookmaker Awards, which looked into detail on their range of football betting markets in particular. This is an award that ZetBet should hold in high regard, having beaten the likes of bet365, William Hill, and Virgin Bet to first place, which certainly makes for impressive viewing, with all of those named operators being well-established within the betting industry.
You’re spoilt for choice when it comes to the range of sports that are available to bet on with ZetBet, as they cover all you could ask for, whether it be popular sports such as football or basketball, to more obscure sports such as bandy and floorball. Their sign-up offer isn’t the most eye-catching in terms of the size of bonus on offer to new customers, but they make up for that with a sportsbook that has many positives to shout about.
18+. New Customers only. To activate your 50% back offer, simply deposit and have a minimum of 3 bets of £10 or more on separate events at odds of evens (2.0) or bigger on first day. Max free bet per customer £25. Free bets must be used in their entirety and stakes are deducted from returns. T&Cs Apply. Begambleaware.org

BetGoodwin were founded in 2021, and they’re worthy of a mention when it comes to new betting sites. They have some great horse racing promotions that are available to both new and existing customers, which aren’t available elsewhere, so they’re worth looking into ahead of popular horse racing events in the sporting calendar such as the Cheltenham Festival, Grand National, and Glorious Goodwood.
This includes free bets if your selected horse is beaten by a head, beaten by a nose, beaten by under half a length, and falling at the last when in front. It’s good to see BetGoodwin having this available on their site, as many other new betting sites don’t offer as many promotions for existing customers.
They don’t have live-streaming available on in-play events on their site, which is a negative when comparing them to some of the bookmaking heavyweights in the betting industry. However, the user-experience of their site is certainly a pleasant one, as BetGoodwin’s site makes it easy for you to find exactly what you’re looking for with relative ease. This includes their in-play section, which has a modern-looking graphic for each match that features on their sportsbook, which is pleasing to view, as some other betting sites have a graphic that looks outdated.
Monday’s Bet of the Day is a football treble made from fixtures being played tonight in Italy, Spain and Portugal.
The first selection of today’s treble sees us hedge our bets on Sevilla beating Mallorca in La Liga tonight. Sevilla have won 3 of their last 5 games and sit above Mallorca in the Spanish division. With Sevilla also at home we are predicting an easy win for them tonight.
Next up, we’re backing both Inter Milan and AC Milan to score in their Serie A match tonight. The two Italian teams sit first and second in the division and with this being such a fierce rivalry, we expect it to be a fiery affair. Both teams love to score and with AC Milan 14 points behind Inter, they need to attack from the get go to try and reduce the gap between the 2 sides.
The final selection in our treble is from the Liga Portugal match between Benfica and Farense. We expect Benfica to come away with the win despite them being away from home. Benfica sit second in the division whilst Farense sit mid-table. Benfica have won 4 of their last 5 league games, whilst Farense have only won 1 and we expect Benfica to win tonight.
Odds from bet365 are correct as of 10:34am, 22/04/24. Odds are subject to change.
How To Choose The Best Betting Site
1The Welcome Offer
Pick a welcome bonus that is right for you. Some will be better suited to those looking to bet big, while others are better for more casual punters. Betting is meant to be fun, so don’t stretch yourself, and bet responsibly.
2Existing Customer Offers
Each bookmaker will have offers for existing members, plus loyalty schemes which can be accessed on either the desktop version of their website, or their mobile apps. These vary with different bookmakers so look around for the best value promotional offers.
3Live Streaming
Some betting sites allow you to live stream a sporting event. To do so, you might need to bet on the event, or at least have credit in your balance. Plenty of bookies allow you to stream various events across the sporting calendar.
4Betting Markets
If you’re going to bet on a range of sports and leagues, research which bookmakers cover the markets you need. All betting websites will have markets for the most popular sports and competitions. But not all sites cover obscure leagues or events.
5Odds
Everyone wants to win as much as possible. It is challenging to know who has the best odds because all bookmakers boast that they have them! Most punters often have several accounts and place their bet with whoever has the best odds for a particular event.
6Interface
This, again, comes down to personal preference. Each bookmaker has a slightly different interface. As long as it’s not slow, and is easy to use, then it should be fine. Some are more modern than others.
7Mobile Experience
Mobile apps are the go-to way to access many bookmakers nowadays, as punters can access all the features they need whilst on-the-go, which is hugely popular. Each mobile app is different though, with some being more easy to navigate around than others.
8Industry Reputation
As with every business, bookmakers thrive on reputation. Reputation isn’t the be-all and end-all, but it can give you a good idea on which bookies are worth considering. There’s a reason why the industry leaders maintain their regular client base.
9Payment Methods & Banking Options
The safety and security of your money are extremely important. We recommend you choose a bookmaker who offers a variety of payment options, including debit card and e-wallet facilities. In addition, ensure your choice offers the latest, up-to-date security for your selected payment methods.
10Sign-Up Process
With most online bookmakers, the sign-up process should only take a few minutes. Note that most bookmakers now employ a Know Your Customer scheme. They may request that you provide additional documents to prove your identity.

FAQ
In our top ten best betting sites are William Hill, bet365 and Betfred. But any of the best online betting sites in the UK mentioned in our list or reviewed on this page rate highly. We consider security, value, promotions, betting sign up offers and customer service when compiling our reviews. You could place your trust in a traditional bookmaker with generations of experience or go for a new, fresh and ambitious firm.
So, why should you consider new bookmakers over their more established counterparts? There are many reasons why customers choose new sites, rather than the bigger names in the industry.
Firstly, new sites have to try extremely hard to attract customers away from their competitors. They’re eager to impress, so they have to offer something that very few of their competitors do.
This can come in the form of attractive new betting sites promotions, an excellent standard of customer service or offering odds and markets on different sports.
Secondly, signing up to new bookmakers, or established ones, means you can have greater freedom in your betting. There are many advantages that online betting has over betting at a retail site. These advantages include the following.
The ability to place your bets no matter what time of day
The option to take welcome bonuses, rarely available in the high street
A much more in-depth menu of general promotions
Place bets no matter where you are
Find a bigger range of markets
Betting bonuses come in many different shapes and sizes. Each of the sites mentioned in this review offer competition-beating bonuses. These may come in the form of free bet offers, risk-free bet offers or matched bet offers. However, there’s also enhanced odds, extra places each-way and money-back offers.
There isn’t technically a safest online betting site. The likes of bet365, Sky Bet, Unibet, William Hill, Betfair, Coral, and Ladbrokes are just some of the names we’d recommend to bettors in the UK, as they’re well-established bookmakers in the betting industry, and are licensed and regulated by the UK Gambling Commission.
If you use reputable betting sites that are licensed and regulated by appropriate gambling authorities, then yes, it is safe to gamble online. All of the betting sites we recommend on MyBettingSites are safe to use, and you can rest-assured that your funds are safe with them.
