Sports & Betting Markets

There are just under 30 sports available to bet on at Betfred. Some bookmakers have a handful more but it’s unlikely that you’ll not be able to find the sport you’re looking for. Everything from football to tennis, horse racing, basketball, rugby, darts and greyhounds are available as well as cricket, boxing and even cycling. There are also a selection of ‘specials’ which include things like betting on TV shows such as Britain’s Got Talent, awards and politics.

Below is a list of sports available to bet on at Betfred.

You won’t be short on markets either as Betfred offer a large number of them for the majority of sports. Obviously, football matches have the most number of markets where you can bet on anything from the match winner to the number of goals, which team will score first, the number of cards, handicap betting and much more. There are also a good number of markets for other sports such as tennis, golf, basketball and darts.

Betfred odds are competitive when compared to other top bookies. You’ll often find them listed on odds comparison sites as one of the bookmakers offering the best odds for various sports such as Football, Horse Racing, Tennis and Basketball.

Betfred has been known to sponsor many high-profile sporting events and competitions. For example, in 2018, Betfred was announced as the sponsor of the English Championship as well as League One, along with the Rugby Super League. They are also the sponsors of the Challenge Cup which is a knockout competition organised by the Rugby Football League and now known as the Betfred Challenge Cup.

Horse Racing

Betfred are one of the best bookies for betting on horse racing with one reason being the number of horse racing betting offers available to customers. At Betfred, you’ll find betting offers such as Best Odds Guaranteed, Money Back if 2nd, First Past The Post, Extra Places, All Correct Bonuses, One Winner Bonuses and many other horse racing offers.

Political Betting

Many bookmakers allow customers to bet on politics such as the next leader of a party, the next Prime Minister and more. However, with Betfred, you can take political betting one step further by incorporating ‘Pick Your Punt’ bets. These are bets which customers of Betfred request and are given odds for. Some of these bets make it to the website for everyone to bet on should they wish. For example, you can bet on Donald Trump Jr To Win 2024 Presidential Election.

If you’d like to request a Politics PickYourPunt bet, you can do so by Tweeting @Betfred and including the hashtag #PickYourPunt

Betfred In-Play

Betfred offer a good number of in-play markets for the majority of sports. As with pre-match markets, football takes the main focus with a variety of different bets available to place during games. For in-play tennis betting, you can bet on markets such as the set winner, the player to win the next point and if there will be a double fault.

In-play markets are categorised for easy navigation, which makes it a lot simpler to find the market you’re looking for quickly. 

As well as standard betting markets, you can also place #PickYourPunt bets in-play. Many bookies offer these type of bets now which allow punters to bundle various bets into one that may not be possible with an accumulator. For example, you could place a #PickYourPunt bet on ‘Vardy to score next, Leicester to keep a clean sheet, Rashford to be carded and there to be over 3.5 goals’. Betfred also have regular PickYourPunt betting offers available on selected matches for football, darts and other sports.

Betfred’s in-play goods are competitive with other top bookmakers and it’s unlikely that the vast majority of customers will have any complaints.

Cash Out

Betfred allow customers to cash out their bets before they have been settled. This is possible both via the website and through the Betfred app. To view your bets which are available to be cashed out, simply click on ‘Open Bets’ and a cash out amount will be displayed alongside each one. If you are happy with the amount, click to confirm and your bet will be settled early with the amount being automatically added to your cash balance instantly.

Betfred cash out is available for both pre-match and in-play bets. You may find that some markets or sports are ineligible for cash out and that the cash out function is sometimes disabled in play due to a significant event occurring such as a goal or a penalty in a football match.

Live Streaming

Customers are able to stream a number of sports directly via the Betfred website, mobile website or app. Some sports available to stream include football, basketball, tennis, handball, ice hockey, volleyball, badminton, beach soccer and of course horse and greyhound racing.

All sports with the exception of horse and greyhound racing are free to stream, although you do need to have a positive account balance. For horse racing and greyhound streams, you are required to have placed a bet on the race you wish to watch. Please see the table below for the minimum stakes based on the bet type.

Customer Service

Customer support is available around the clock at Betfred with both live chat and telephone support both being available 24/7. Email support is also provided and we found that a response is usually received within an hour or two. Chat support agents seem knowledgeable and friendly and connections are usually instant which is a huge positive.

Betfred also provide a comprehensive help section which is full of frequently asked questions along with answers which can come in useful for a lot of queries. There are various categories such as FAQ’s for promotions, account related issues, bets and more. 

Please see the sidebar for Betfred contact information.

Betfred App

You can download the Betfred App for free on your mobile or tablet device. It’s available for iOS and Android devices and provides quick and easy access to your account. Through the Betfred app, you’ll be able to not only place sports bets but also access the Betfred online casino, games, lotto and bingo sections. You will need to transfer your balance between the various sections but it’s good that all these areas are available via the one Betfred app.

The app has the same layout as the Betfred mobile website which is excellent. There is easy navigation between sports and pages and games load extremely fast. 

A specific App is also available for the various Lotteries around the world that are available to bet on including the Irish Lotto .

The Website

The Betfred website is one of our favourites. It’s extremely user-friendly with large buttons for the odds and excellent layout. Current promotions and offers are displayed on the homepage carousel with odds for various in-play events taking up the majority of the page in the middle. The offers and promotions are just one of many reasons to bet with Betfred online rather than in-store. Navigation to various sports can be done via the sidebar and once you have chosen a sport, betfred make it very easy for you to filter the results to find the event you are looking for. For example, when football is selected, you can then filter the results by league or country and from within there, filter again by additional categories such as matches, manager specials or outrights.

Overall, we think the Betfred website is excellent and we have no complaints about it whatsoever.

As you would expect from a top bookmaker, Betfred offer a Cash Out feature. This allows customers to settle their bet early and either lock in a profit or cut their losses on their bets. Cash out is available on selected markets and sports and funds are instantly added to your cash balance once cash out has been confirmed. Currently, Betfred do not offer a partial cash out feature but standard cash out is available both pre-match and in-play.

Betfred Casino

Head to the Betfred Online Casino and you’ll find hundreds of different online games from various game providers such as Playtech, Ash Gaming, Wager Works and Boss Media. There is a huge range of online slots to choose from as well as dozens of tables games such as roulette, blackjack, baccarat and more.

Casino funds at Betfred are separate from sports funds but transfer between the two can be done with the click of a button. Players will also accumulate points every time they wager at Betfred Online Casino which can be converted into cash. For every £10 wagered, customers receive 1 point. Once 1000 points have been collected, you can convert them into £10 cash which can be withdrawn if you wish.

Betfred Live Casino

Betfred Games

As well as a good selection of casino games, Betfred also provide a games section. Here, you’ll find games which aren’t available in the casino section such as instant wins, jackpot games and a range of games which you’d usually see in Betfred shops.

Betfred regularly run promotions for their games section which are worth keeping an eye out for. These are generally free spin offers which are awarded when wagering a certain amount on specific games. You can find a full range of offers for Betfred sports, casino, live games and their games sections on the promotions page.

Betfred Lotto

Betting on lotteries at bookies is extremely popular as it’s a convenient way to put your bets on without having to leave the house. Betfred are currently one of the best bookies for betting on the lotto due to the range of lotteries available as well as the lotto promotions they run.

At Betfred Lotto, you can bet on lotteries such as the Irish Lotto, Daily Millions, German Lotto, French Lotto, New York Lotto, Canadian Lotto, Polish Lotto, Spanish Lotto and Australian Lotto. You can use the funds from your Betfred Sports account to place your lotto bets and choose from a range of bet types.

Betfred Virtual Sports

Virtual Sports betting has become increasingly popular of late and great for when there are few sporting events taking place. Virtual sports at Betfred take place every minute 24/7, allowing you to bet on the outcome of virtual events around the clock.

There is a good range of virtual sports available at Betfred such as football, horse racing, darts, tennis, greyhounds, speedway, bingo, motor racing and cycling.

Don’t want to wait for a virtual event to start? No problem. Betfred offer a virtual on-demand service where you can select the virtual event you wish to bet on and when you want it to start. You’re able to play full seasons of virtual football at your convenience allowing you to bet on what you want, when you want.

Overall, Betfred provides one of the best Virtual Sports sections we have come across.

Betfred Bingo

With a range of online bingo games taking place throughout the day, you’re never short of entertainment at Betfred Bingo. As well as several 75 Ball, 80 Ball and 90 Ball Bingo Rooms, there are numerous special games to play as well as an impressive range of side games for when you have some free time. Side games include various online slots, blackjack, roulette, scratchcards and instant wins.

Betfred Poker

Betfred allow customers to play poker against each other in the browser-based poker room. Although some casual players may find Betfred Poker acceptable, it’s nowhere near on par with dedicated poker sites or some other bookmaker poker rooms. The interface is very basic and there is a lack of options regarding stakes and game types. Due to its limitations, there are not many players active at any one time and it can sometimes be difficult to play at a full table.

Although it is a nice option to have, we feel that Betfred Poker is one area of the service which could be improved.

Betfred Totepool

A nice addition to the site is the Betfred Totepool. Unlike standard betting where you bet against the bookie, with a totepool, all wagers are put into a pot and shared amongst the winners accordingly.

There are a number of tote games which you can play such as:

• Totejackpot: Pick six winners at today’s Jackpot meetings.
• Toteplacepot: Pick a horse to be placed in each of the first six races.
• Totequadpot: Pick a horse to be placed in races 3, 4, 5 and 6.
• Toteexacta: Pick the horses to finish 1st and 2nd.
• Totetrifecta: Pick the horses to finish 1st, 2nd and 3rd.
• Totewin/place: Choose a horse to win or place.
• Totescoop6: Pick six winners in the nominated races.

Banking

There isn’t a huge range of methods available for deposits and withdrawals at Betfred but the majority of customers will have no complaints. You’re able to fund and withdraw from your account using debit & credit cards, eWallets such as PayPal, Neteller & skrill or opt for a bank transfer. 

The Betfred withdrawal times are generally very quick. The fastest way to withdraw your funds is via Visa Fast Funds, followed by one of the ewallet options and then via debit card. Bank transfer withdrawals take the longest amount of time.

We’ve listed the available deposit options for Betfred customers below.
