How to Choose a Perfect Bookmaker?

If you just think of starting to bet on sports, you may wonder how to choose a bookmaker that will be perfect for you. It is not surprising because today there are many betting sites including both old and traditional sportsbooks and new online bookmakers in the UK which offer different terms of cooperation, bonus programmes, and odds. In this article we would like to talk about which bookmakers deserve attention and why. Read on and you will understand what things are crucial to consider when choosing a bookmaker.

Which Bookmakers Should You Pay Attention To?

There are many bookmakers in the UK, so choosing can be challenging. We analysed the market and identified several betting platforms that deserve your attention:

• Betfred;
• 10bet;
• Parimatch;
• STS;
• BetVictor and some others.

The above bookmakers are licensed, so it is entirely safe to use them. In addition, they have many bonus programmes, allowing you to bet with minimum risk.

Some Tips for Choosing a Bookmaker

It can be difficult to choose a bookmaker if you are unfamiliar with the betting market. We advise you not to register on the first betting site you come across but to study offers of several platforms and only after that to make a choice. So, first of all, you need to pay attention to such points as:

• Licence availability;
• Odds;
• Support service;
• Bonus programmes;
• Number of sports and bets;
• Mobile app availability.

Each of these aspects is of great importance, so it is worth discussing them in more detail.

Licence Availability

Many scammers work in the industry, but it is pretty simple to distinguish reliable bookmakers today – they have a licence. Thus, government agencies carefully check all data about the platform’s operation and about the owner, tools for protecting the personal information of users and transactions, and much more. You can get a licence only if the bookmaker is ready to work honestly and openly, without fraud and money laundering.

Odds

Odds are the most important indicator when choosing a bookmaker because the amount of winnings depends on their size. The higher the odds, the more you can earn from your hobby. It should be understood that betting sites cannot offer the best odds for all events because then it will work at a loss. As a result, when choosing a platform, you need to pay attention to the odds offered for your favourite sport. You can easily find sites with great odds on football or horse racing in the UK, but the situation is worse for other sports.

Support Service

From time to time, users are forced to contact the support service to find the necessary information, solve problems or receive additional bonuses. That is why it is crucial that the support service works 24/7 and is available via several channels (phone, chat on the site, email, and even social networks).

Bonus Programmes

Bookmakers strive to attract the attention of new users by offering big bonuses. Usually, customers can get free bets, in which case they can bet without risk but still receive tangible rewards.

Among the most common bonus programmes are:
• Bonus for registration;
• Weekly bonus;
• VIP programmes;
• Cashback;
• Refunded bets.

The conditions for receiving the above bonuses are very different on different platforms, so you should read the terms and conditions attentively.

Number of Sports and Bets

Most international bookmakers have many sports (up to 30) and bets (up to 150). However, several large platforms are operating in the UK, limited to only 1 or 3 sports, but they offer favorable conditions.

Mobile App Availability

Most users prefer to bet from their smartphones; in this case, they can make decisions much faster (especially if the match has already started). That is why it is an advantage when the platform must have a mobile app with good functionality.
