As one of the biggest betting brands in the UK, Sky Bet needs no introduction. With a huge selection of betting markets available across 39 sports, price boosts across nearly every sport and a welcome offer that is up there with the best around, Sky Bet’s slick and professional app certainly lives up to its name and is one of the best betting apps on the UK market.

Sky Sports is huge, and it's easy to say that's why Sky Bet is so successful, but Sky Bet is still an incredible betting product in its own right. UK bettors have access to a wide range of betting markets, huge odds boosts, and a simple app that's easy to use, but never feels basic.
✅ Sky Bet provides a huge selection of price boosts that are spread out across nearly every sport.
✅ Sky Bet provides high-quality live streaming across multiple sports, including football, horse racing, tennis, basketball and more.
✅ The ‘Bet £10 get £30 in Free Bets’ welcome offer from Sky Bet is one of the best around right now.
✅ All Free Bets now come without an expiry date, giving you more time to find the best bet to use it on.
✅ The ‘Group Bets’ feature is a really fun way of putting together an acca with your mates.
✅ Sky Bet’s 2-UP promotion is a great feature that applies to a massive selection of football fixtures worldwide.
✅ Horse racing benefits from a wide selection of Price boosts and EW specials. Sky Bet’s ‘Horse Selector’ feature is also a great way to filter categories to find your perfect runner of choice.
❌ Asian handicap is currently unavailable.
❌ No eWallet payments are available on the Sky Bet app.
❌ Odds can seem a little disappointing compared to those you'd find on Bet365 or William Hill.
❌ Existing customer promos are rather limited. Adding an acca insurance promo or bringing back its money-back promo would be welcome.
The Sky Bet app offers a wide variety of events, markets, and odds boosts across 38 sports, as well as an excellent welcome offer, making it a great choice for almost anyone. Even though Sky Bet's odds may not match Bet365's, the difference is usually minute and won't affect most casual punters.
Bet365 tends to have some of the strongest odds across all UK betting apps, so generally Sky Bet doesn't offer the same value as what you will get with Bet365, although it does come relatively close. For example, the payout rate for a three-way bet on the Arsenal vs Leeds match this weekend is 93.5% for Sky Bet and 94.6% for Bet365, which admittedly isn't a huge difference, but could certainly factor into your decision on a betting app.
However, Sky Bet's odds do offer more value compared to the likes of Ladbrokes and BetVictor.
Live streaming is available on a wide selection of sporting events on the Sky Bet app including football, horse racing, tennis, basketball and more.
Sky Bet is owned by Flutter Entertainment, who took over Sky Betting and Gaming in 2020 and retains the rights to use the Sky name and logo.
Flutter Entertainment also own Paddy Power, Betfair and the online bingo company Tombola, as well as Sporting Life and race data providers, Timeform.

How to claim your Sky Bet welcome offer:
Sky Bet's welcome offer is your classic 'Bet £10 get £30'. By placing a £10 qualifying bet at minimum odds of...new customers can get 3 x £10 Free Bets. The best thing about this offer is that your free bets are subject to Sky Bet's 'Free Bets with No Expiry' promo, so you can use them at your own pace.
Sky Bet have a few nice promos for existing customers, although these are mainly price boosts and the 'Money Back as Cash' promo is no longer available, despite being heavily advertised when downloading the app from either the iOS App Store or the Google Play Store.
The promotions section of the app is a bit littered with features that are posing as promos, such as 'BuildABet' and Sky Bet's 'Smart Search Tool'. This can feel like a slightly annoying design flaw, in an otherwise great user interface.
Sky Bet Club is Sky Bet's version of Betway's Free Bet Club or Paddy Power's 'Rewards Club'. You can opt-in for one of five weekly rewards that can score you some Free Bets or Spins and the best thing about it is that there are different qualifying stipulations, so every type of punter is covered.
Sky Bet's 2-Up promo meant that if your team takes a two-goal lead at any stage, Sky Bet will immediately settle your bet as a winner and you will receive an early payout.
This is one of Sky Bet's strongest offers, although it is quite common across the larger brands, with Paddy Power, Betfair, Ladbrokes and Bet365 all offering this type of promo.
Super 6 is a weekly free-to-play football prediction game where if you correctly predict the scores of 6 football games, you could be in for a chance to win £250,000. The game itself is a lot of fun, even if it does feel impossible that you'll ever win.
Super 6 was one of the first free-to-play games out there, but the betting apps world is aswarm with them now and each has its own individual characteristics and ways of playing. Some alternatives to Sky Bet's Super 6 include: Betway's 4 to Score/Win, William Hill's Football 21 and Lucky 7 and Paddy Power's Hotshot Jackpot
Sky Bet's Prize Drop is pretty much a raffle that any Sky Bet customer can opt in to. There are no qualifying terms and it is totally free. Punters can be in for a chance to score some nice prizes including tickets to race meetings or EFL matches, signed EFL shirts, the latest tech (TVs, PS5s, tablets etc) and more.
Granted, this promo doesn't give you free bets or provide you with a money-back offer, but it is a nice promo that enhances the betting experience in another way and is unique to Sky Bet.
Enhanced or 'boosted' odds are one of the most common promos across all betting apps, but Sky Bet have really gone to town on the boosts and its 'Enhanced Accas' is also another popular promo that gives you a boost, with a bit more juice.
Enhanced Accumulators are essentially price boosts that are applied daily to pre-made acca bets, with the main markets on offer being Full Time Result accas and Full Time Result with BTTS. There is also a nice selection of Shot on Target and Goalscorer Enhanced Accas, which are usually spread across a Premier League match day.
Sky Bet's Enhanced Accas are a great way to find a bet that you may not have thought of on a quiet sporting afternoon or perhaps an acca you had in mind is up for a boost. Either way, it just shows that Sky Bet is one of the top betting apps out there for price boosts.
Price boosts aren't uncommon and it's got to the point where it's weird if an app doesn't have a boost of some sort. However, Sky Bet offers a truly impressive amount of odds boosts across nearly every sport that is available on the app.
At the time of writing, there are 36 price boosts across 9 Premier League fixtures and 48 price boosts across today's UK and Irish races.
Sky Bet have not just gone for quantity over quality here, the odds boosts are pretty decent and are on par with Paddy Power, Betfair and even Bet365.
Price boosts are prominent across various sports in the Sky Bet app, but football and horse racing fans feel most of the benefit.
Sky Bet's odds boosts are a great way to add value to your betting experience, but what about the odds that are not subject to a boost?
We took Sky Bet's odds on three-way bets (home/draw/away) from a few of this weekend's Premier League matches and compared the payout rate to those found on Betfair and Paddy Power.
| PAYOUT RATE COMPARISON |
 |
 |
 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Man City vs Liverpool | 94.2% | 93.1% | 95% |
| Arsenal vs Leeds | 94.3% | 91.8% | 94.5% |
| Bournemouth vs Fulham | 93.5% | 92.4% | 95.9% |
| Average payout rate | 94% | 92.4% | 95.1% |
Whether it's through its in-depth betting markets across 39 different sports, its odds boosts that are prevalent across an incredible number of events or the features that you can use to enhance your betting experience, Sky Bet proves to be among the best sports betting apps for UK punters.
Sky Bet is certainly one of the top betting apps out there for football punters, which offers betting on matches from 160 leagues across 56 countries and 13 tournaments, including the Champions League, Europa League, FA Cup and many other club and international tournaments.
The vast market selection includes a number of player props, combo markets, euro handicaps and more. Sky Bet's 'What will happen?' markets also allow you to bet on whether certain markets will occur over specific five-minute intervals, such as 'No Goal', 'Free Kick', '2+ Throw In' and more.
There are live streams available for matches across the Bundesliga, Irish Premier League and more. The Sky Bet 'BuildABet' service offers a wide range of markets, with cash out available on each bet builder wager.
Sky bet has a couple of nice football promos including '2-UP Early Payout' and 'Enhanced Accas', and In-play price boosts and ‘RequestABet’ specials can be found in abundance.
Sky Bet currently does not offer Asian handicaps or acca insurance. My recommendation would be the William Hill app if you're looking for both.
As Sky Bet's real strength lies in the in-depth level of its football betting markets, we compared some of Sky Bet's more specific pre-match markets on offer for this weekend's Premier League match between Man City and Liverpool to see how they fare up against Betfair and Paddy Power.

Sky Bet’s Bet Builder is exclusive to football betting and features an intuitive interface that makes putting together a multiple bet on football a quick and straightforward task. The markets on offer are plentiful and include a variety of Player Props, Stats markets and interval markets, such as ‘Team A - 6+ 1st Half Shots on Target’.
If you’re unsure which markets to put together in your bet builder, Sky Bet’s ‘Quick Picks’ feature from within the bet builder will allow you to generate a random multiple bet with combined odds that you can bet on instantly or reshuffle as much as you want.
BuildABet is packed full of markets to choose from and the 'Quick Picks' feature is a really nice touch.
Sky Bet serves as an excellent choice for horse racing punters, with betting action available across the entire UK and Irish race calendar and one of the strongest selections of international meets across all UK betting apps.
Most UK and Irish races are live-streamed, as well as an array of international events. There are a variety of price boosts and extra place offers available, for example, all 38 UK and Irish races available tomorrow have either a price boost, extra places or both. In international meets, price boosts and extra places are less common.
Sky Bet has a healthy amount of antepost betting on offer and multiple meets are available for Jackpot, Placepot and Quadpot Tote betting.
Sky Bet's pre-race data is provided by Sporting Life, which serves its purpose but doesn't have the same depth as the Timeform data, which can be found on many other UK betting apps.
Using data from Sporting Life, Sky Bet's 'Horse Selector' lets punters narrow down their choices according to runner data, jockey form, distance winner, and more.
Sky Bet's 'Horse Selector' feature is a great tool for finding runners that meet your specific criteria

Sky Bet provides one of the best betting choices for Tennis fans with tons of betting action available across ATP, WTA, ITF and UTR tournaments. Sky Bet also offers daily price boosts across all games in selected tournaments and there is a daily special that includes Sky Bet's RequestABet feature and has some great multiple bets on offer.
Live streaming is also available across a wide selection of tennis matches and Sky Bet's in-play stats will fill you in on everything you'd need to know.
Sky Bet offers a wide selection of betting options across the Champions Cup, Challenge Cup, URC, Six Nations and Rugby 7s Series and more, with plenty of boosts on offer. Betting markets on offer include 'Winning Margin', Total Points Odd/Even, 'Race to 10 Points' and more.
Due to licencing reasons, rugby live streaming is unfortunately very limited on Sky Bet.
Markets are available across a wide range of IPL, ICC, T20 and T10 fixtures on the Sky Bet app. As with most other sports, many Cricket markets benefit from odds boosts and the selection of in-play markets is impressive, for example, the 'Batter to score 100 (Yes or No)' and 'Tied Match' markets were really interesting and ones that I couldn't find elsewhere.
Sky Bet has a good selection of betting action available from the NFL, CFL, College football and XFL and price boosts are available, however, they seem to somewhat be in short supply by comparison to the rest of the Sky Bet app.
As with rugby, live streaming of American football is extremely limited on the Sky Bet app, due to licencing reasons.
Sky Bet has events available from games across 51 leagues worldwide. There is a good selection of individual betting markets available, as well as a large supply of #RequestABet multiples that combine player props with match stat markets.
Live streaming is not as limited as American Football, as many NBA games can be watched on the Sky Bet app, however, lower tier leagues do not benefit from this feature.
The Sky Bet app is packed with all the features you'd expect from one of the UK's top betting apps.
If you’re feeling particularly inspired, Sky Bet’s #RequestABet allows you to Tweet Sky Bet with multiples that are not already available and get back to you with a price or you can also browse the other #RequestABet specials that have been put together by other users.
There is a wide selection of combo bets that include, among others, player props, cards, stats and match event markets. Sky Bet also allows you to filter specials by types of markets and has sections for odds, ranging from 80/1 and above to specials that have odds of up to 10/1.
This feature is common across the bigger brands, but Sky Bet is a contender for the betting app with the best delivery, with Paddy Power being its only equal in both pre-made bet selections and odds value.
You could be forgiven for thinking that the Sky Bet app would be the holy grail of betting apps for live streaming, unfortunately, this isn't the case.
Due to Sky TV and Sky Bet actually being two separate entities many events that are actually on Sky Sports are not available for live streaming on the Sky Bet app.
Don't get me wrong, there is still an impressive amount of live streaming to choose from across football, horse racing, tennis, rugby, basketball, American football and more. The live streaming function within the Sky Bet app is reliable and of high quality and is seconded only to Bet365 for the quantity of live-streamed events.
After registering with Sky Bet, your login details can also be used to sign in to Sporting Life, also owned by Flutter Entertainment, which provides betting guides and expert tips across a wide selection of sports.
As well as tips and guides, horse racing fans can benefit from Sporting Life's 'My Stable' feature that allows you to save your favourite runners, jockeys and trainers to your stable and track their results and upcoming races, data from Timeform (also owned by Flutter) is also on hand to help you put together your perfect selection.
As Sky Bet, Betfair and Paddy Power all have the same features, we compared the quality the each of them across Sky Bet, Betfair and Paddy Power to see who comes out on top.

|---|---|---|---|
| Bet Builder | 9/10 | 10/10 | 10/10 |

Sky Bet provide a solid choice for esports bettors with plenty of events to choose from and decent odds that are competitive with the rest of the market and sometimes outdo Betway, which is one of the most esports-focused betting apps in the UK.
Each event has a good choice of markets that are specific to that game, as well as handicap betting available across most events.
❌ Sky Bet doesn't offer betting on Fifa esports events.
❌ Sky Bet could really benefit from adding an esports-focused promo.
❌ The lack of live streaming of esports events is a letdown, considering the level of live streaming elsewhere on the app.
Sky Bet has a good selection of payment options, although payments with credit cards and e-wallets such as PayPal, Skrill and Neteller are currently unavailable. A minimum deposit of £5 applies.
Visa Electron/Debit: Maximum of 2 hours.
Mastercard/Maestro/Solo: 2-5 working days
Apple Pay: 3-5 working days (withdrawals must be made to a debit card registered to the user)
Google Pay: 3-5 working days (withdrawals must be made to a debit card registered to the user)
Withdrawal times differ on the Sky Bet app, depending on the method you’re using. Visa Electron and Debit users benefit from Visa Quickpay, which allows for much faster withdrawals.
It’s worth remembering that you will need to withdraw in the same way that your funds were deposited, with Apple Pay and Google Pay being the only exceptions.
All of the casino offerings from Sky Bet have their own dedicated apps which include, Sky Casino, Sky Vegas and Sky Bingo. Punters who have already registered for Sky Bet will have access to all of these apps without having to set up a new account and vice versa.
Some of Sky Bet’s casino games can be accessed through the ‘Games’ tab at the bottom of the Sky Bet app, but I would recommend checking out each of these dedicated apps for the fullest casino experience.
Between slots, table games and game shows, the Sky Casino app offers 274 games to choose from, including a wide selection of live casino betting.
Sky Casino has some nice promos on offer that can bag you some free spins and its free-to-play ‘True False Live Trivia’ game gives you the chance to win cash prizes every Friday.

Like the Sky Casino app, Sky Vegas offers both traditional and live casino options, but the app’s main focus is slots, with some table games and game shows thrown in for good measure.
Between the Sky Casino and Sky Vegas app there is an impressive 475 games to choose from
From scouting through the Sky Bet Vegas app, I can see that there are no duplicates of games from the Sky Casino app, which is impressive, considering Betway Vegas is essentially a rehash of their casino app.

I'd certainly advise downloading the Sky Bet app, as it's a top-class product that is suited to pretty much every type of bettor, and there isn't a better welcome offer out there right now. The huge selection of markets across a wide range of sports and the numerous odds boosts make up for the lack of chances to score free bets and the odds difference between Sky Bet and Bet365 is only enough to bother the most seasoned of punters.
