Bet365 Review

All of the UK bettingapps.com team had the bet365 downloaded and were regular users before we even started research for this particular review.

Basically, we agree that bet365 is as good as everyone else says it is.

There’s loads of neat features on the app that complement an absolutely massive selection of markets and the odds on offer consistently provide some of the best value available to UK punters.

In-play betting is a cornerstone of the bet365 mobile experience:

UK punters can track bet progress, watch live streams, edit bets in-play, and partially or fully cash out.

Pre-match betting options are top-quality, too. The football coverage is phenomenal and bettors who prefer racing, tennis, or niche sports will also more than likely be able to find what they’re looking for on the bet365 app.

The welcome offer is one of the most generous around.

While the new customer sign up bonus is great, it’s clear that offers are not a central focus for bet365. However, those that do feature on the app, like acca boosts and early payouts, provide great flexibility.

In terms of usability, the bet365 app makes up for a somewhat boring design by ensuring it’s super-simple to navigate with clear menu structures, useful search functionality and ways to save or bookmark certain markets or bet types (plus personalisation options).

There are plenty of offers for both new and existing players on the bet365 app which you can utilise to maximise your returns.

The Bet365 app has a great selection of promotions.

There might not be many ‘in-yer-face’, straight-up free bet offers for existing customers, but there are certainly a few nice little promos that will help you eke out that extra bit of profit or avoid losses - including:

• Early payout offers on football, baseball ice hockey and NBA
• Football, tennis and multi-sport accumulator bonus
• ITV Racing 4/1 offer
• Racing price promise
• Best odds guaranteed
• Bore draw money back
• Enhanced prices
• Each way extra

As you can see, there’s lots to choose from. However, if you pushed the esteemed bettingapps.com team to pick a couple of our favourites, we’d plump for the below:

bet365 early payout

You’ll never experience the agony of snatching a losing bet from the jaws of victory on the bet365 app thanks to this early payout offer.

Place a pre-match full-time result/money line bet and, if your team is a long way ahead in the match, Bet365 will pay out in full even if your selection goes on to draw or lose.

Here’s the sports on which this offer is currently available:

• Football (paid out in full if your team goes 2 goals ahead)
• Baseball (paid out in full if your team goes 5 runs ahead)
• Ice hockey (paid out in full if your team goes 3 goals ahead)
• Basketball (paid out in full if your team goes 18 points ahead)

bet365 best odds guaranteed

You can get best odds guaranteed on selected horse races on most of the big UK betting apps, but there are a few of things that set bet365’s BOG offer apart from the rest:

• The offer applies to bets placed up to 10:00am on the day of the race. This gives you way more opportunities to pick out the best prices than on other sites that only offer BOG on bets placed, for example, the day before the race.

• The bet365 BOG offer also counts when a Bet Boost is applied to the win and each way market.

• The offer includes board prices, bet365 early prices as well as Showcast bets on any eligible race where a fixed price is offered.

Yeah, the offers and promotions are great, but what’s the actual sports betting like on the bet365 app? After all, everything else would all be a bit pointless if the actual wagering was rubbish.

Happily, in our opinion, the sports betting experience on the bet365 app is pretty much second to none in the UK market.

The selection of markets, the in-play betting experience, the odds on offer, the mobile UX - the bet365 app is either the best or close to the best on so many of these factors.

In-play betting is a staple of any worthy UK betting app these days but that hasn’t always been the case.

There is an absolutely enormous selection of in-play betting markets open at any one time - in fact, you’re unlikely to find a betting app that has more in-play options than bet365. The choice is not restricted to the major sports, either:

At the time we reviewed this app, on a very normal Friday lunchtime, events available for in-play betting on bet365 included volleyball, futsal, League of Legends esports, NRL and more in addition to the sports you’d expect to see like football and tennis.

The live streaming options are hard to beat too. Football, esports, tennis, greyhounds, racing, and lots, lots more can be streamed live by punters who log in and have a funded account.

The bet365 app is something of a football betting paradise.

⚽ Huge selection matches
⚽ Loads of live streaming
⚽ Great bet builder
⚽ Good range of promotions

The first thing that is truly standout on the bet365 app from a football bettor’s perspective is the sheer volume of matches where markets are available.

Ever wanted to bet on Mauritania Divison 2 or the Costa Rica U20 League? The bet365 app has all this and much, much more.

That’s not just for pre-match betting, either. A large number of these fixtures - even the ones from the most obscure corners of the football world - go in-play on the bet365 app.

All this before we’ve even mentioned the amount of football live streaming you can access to. Top leagues covered by live streaming on the bet365app include:

• Bundesliga
• Serie A (IT)
• Ligue 1
• Primera Liga
• Primeira Liga
• Eredivisie
• Serie A (BR)
• Bundesliga (AT)
• Super Lig
• MLS

bet365 bore draw

Don’t get me wrong - some goalless draws can be utterly compelling. But goals win games and goals often win people bets, too.

That’s why it can be tedious to put your money on a game that turns out to be the ultimate bore draws - i.e. a goalless bore draw.

On the bet365 app you can protect yourself against this misery thanks to the football bore draw promotion:

Any losing pre-match correct score, half-time/full-time or scorecast bets will be refunded if the match ends 0-0.

The real nice thing about this one is that there doesn’t appear to be any restrictions on which matches qualify for this offer. In fact, it quite clearly says this applies to ‘ANY soccer match’.

The bet365 app is one of our favourite places to bet on horses.

🏇 Loads of enhanced prices
🏇 Solid offers
🏇 UK & Ireland live streaming
🏇 Live updates & alerts

Comprehensive is the word we’d used to describe horse racing coverage on the bet365 app. Betting options on domestic racing are extensive and the selection of international fixtures covered is also impressive.

There’s a lot of content but it’s presented in such a way that makes it easy to browse selections and find information on the horses you like the look of.

For the full immersive experience, you can also live stream UK & Irish racing on the bet365 app.

Our favourite thing about the bet365 app’s tennis betting product is the sheer volume of in-play matches open for betting.

Just like for footy and racing, live streaming options for tennis punters are extensive.

There’s a nice selection of in-play markets and up to 12 bets on the same match can be grouped together using bet365’s tennis Bet Builder.

For those of you who like to find value before a ball is served in anger, the selection of outright markets covers most of the major tournaments on the circuit.

The retirement guarantee offer (you’ll get paid out on singles and multiples if your selection’s opponent retires hurt) and the accumulator bonus (with which you can bag a bonus of up to 70% on pre-match tennis accas) severe only to strengthen our opinion that the bet365 app is one of the best around for tennis betting.

It may not be the draw it once was but there’s still plenty of greyhound racing action to bet on via the bet365 app.

You can watch selected races live in the app which, when combined with detailed race overviews in the racecard, mean you’ll be up to scratch on the latest and greatest dogs in no time.

Greyhound punters get treated to a best odds guaranteed offer (on win and each way markets) and, also like on horse racing, there’s a favourites feature that’ll ensure you don’t miss a moment of your favourite dog’s races.

The bet365 Android app can be downloaded by any users with devices running Android version 4.1 or later (that should cover almost all of us - 4.1 was first released in 2012).

It’s had over one million installations via the Google play store - a comparable number to big hitters in the UK market like William Hill and Ladbrokes.

Some recent reviewers on Android suggest the app has got ‘slower’ in recent years but, given the huge variety in performance across different devices, it’s hard to tell whether that’s a bet365 issue or not.

How to download the bet365 Android App

All the sports betting features we’ve covered above can be enjoyed on the iOS app. There’s also touch and Face ID on supported devices.

The current 4.3/5 star rating that the bet365 app enjoys on the App Store tells you all you need to know, really: It’s a quality product.

You’ll need iOS version 12.0 or later to run the bet365 app on iPhone, iPad or iPod touch.

How to download the bet365 iOS App

If we could pick one area where the bet365 app has the most space to improve, it would be payment methods.

That’s not to say making a deposit or withdrawal is at all difficult (in fact, it’s very easy), it’s just that we wish there were more payment methods available. The current list of available methods includes:

• Visa
• Mastercard
• Apple Pay
• PayPal
• Paysafecard
• Bank transfer

We’d like to see other e-wallets like Neteller and Skrill available for UK punters.

Bet365 punters in the UK can contact support via online live chat, email, or by post if you’re proper old-school.

bet365 livechat on mobile

Bet365 has representatives available 24/7 to respond to questions and queries via its live chat service.

The quality at bet365 is not confined to the sportsbook. This bookie also has a smashing casino platform that is accessible via the separate bet365 Casino app.

Live casino games can be played on the go, as well as table classic, slot games and huge jackpot games.

The bet365 Casino app is available via the App Store and the Play Store for iOS and Android devices respectively.

We think the bet365 app probably ticks most boxes for most UK sports punters. However, it’s far from perfect and so it’s nice that we aren’t stuck with it as our only option.

If you want a better selection of payment methods, such as Neteller and Skrill, then check out the Betfred app (which supports both methods). If you want a wider range of daily offers and specials, we’d recommend the Paddy Power app.
