Summary
Bet365 are one of the biggest and best bookmakers in the world. They score highly in every category, including competitive odds, massive range of sports and markets, live In-Play betting, customer service and the generous free bet that’s currently available.
At the bet365 EXTRA section, you will also find a host of available promotions on soccer and horse racing, including the Bore Draw Cashback offer (soccer) and Best Odds Guaranteed (racing). However, many customers will consider their free live streaming service to be the jewel in the crown, with bet365 now streaming over 8,000 events live to your PC every year.
The picture quality is great and there’s nearly always something available to watch and bet In-Play on. Racing enthusiasts also have the benefit of watching any UK or Irish race that they have placed a bet on and it’s hard to pick a fault with a firm who tick all the boxes.

Background
Bet365 can now lay claim to being the biggest bookmaker in the world. They differ from many of the other big global brands in that they are a private business which are owned almost exclusively by the Coates family, all of whom are based in Stoke-on-Trent, England. Chairman Peter Coates founded the company in 1974, although the day-to-day operations are now controlled by COO Denise Coates and CEO John Coates (the son and daughter of Peter).
Bet365 was previously Northern Racing, a collection of betting shops based around the north-west and Midlands area, although they set up a telephone betting business in the 1990’s and identified that an online operation would be the way forward, something which saw them sell several hundred retail outlets to Coral in 2005. Bet365 now have several million customers and employ over 1,000 people, most of whom are based at their Stoke-on-Trent HQ.

Odds and Markets
Bet365 offer the widest range of sports and markets imaginable, with no stone unturned to ensure that a customer wanting to bet on an event is well catered for. Not only do they have a wide range of pre-match markets available but they also have impressive coverage when it comes to In-Play betting as you will see when you visit the homepage and witness the live action where the odds are constantly updating.
The odds are very strong across all sports, with bet365 committed to betting on particularly tight margins when it comes to soccer and the big European leagues, including Premier League, La Liga and Champions League. You will notice that their prices get progressively more competitive as the match approaches kick-off. Horse racing punters will clearly be delighted with their Best Odds Guaranteed promotion where they can take a price and know that they will get SP if it’s bigger.
