There are many great betting sites in the UK and we have listed ten reviews of these below. From bet365 to Ladbrokes, you will certainly find good sportsbooks and casino sections on these betting sites. Furthermore, these sites tend to have generous welcome offers to claim.
Despite the quality of the established betting sites, new ones are constantly launching and while most of them are pretty bad, we have listed our reviews of ten good ones below. It is always good to lower the expectations slightly when trying out new bookies, though.
When reviewing betting sites the most important thing we check is to make sure the operator is fully licensed by the UK Gambling Commission. Never join online gambling sites that do not show the UKGC logo at the bottom of their site, as this is usually where they link directly to their license number.
Alternatively, search for the operator on the UK Gambling Commission website to check their licence status. We will never list betting sites without a valid UKGC licence, and update each review if the operator's licence is suspended or removed. You can also read more about how we rate betting sites if you are interested.
Unfortunately, some sites take advantage of punters by all means possible, such as through poor terms and conditions for a welcome offer. We have listed reviews of ten sites that you should avoid in your betting ventures below.
