Fairplay Bet launched in 2022, initially as a peer-to-peer betting platform, but three years later, it took a step forward by adding a sportsbook area. This has now been further enhanced with the addition of horse and greyhound racing.
Whilst the bookmaker can be found online, its roots are in its mobile app and this remains the case today.
With 17 updates in 2025, it is clear that Fairplay Bet is focusing on customer experience, and regular minor tweaks can only be applauded.
There is a lack of recent reviews, but most mention that betting is easy on the app, whilst also praising the idea of allowing peer-to-peer bets. Saying that, a few have complained about the sign-up process and the accessibility of the app.
This is where we step in, though, and in this review, we will offer our honest thoughts on every aspect of the app, from the deposit process to accessing customer support.
If you are a newbie to Fairplay Bet, you can register directly on the app. The step-by-step process below takes you through what you need to know.
First of all, you need to download the app from your app store. Once it has been installed, simply tap 'Register' in the top-right corner of the app.
The first step is actually multi-levelled, and it means you will need to enter an email and password in the first two pages.
Following this, you will need to provide some personal information to Fairplay Bet to help with the KYC process. This is pretty standard though, and it should not be a shock.
Finally, you will need to agree to the terms and conditions and finalise making your account. Once done, you should be good to go straight away, but if you are not, refer to the verification section.
You have the option to deposit at Fairplay Bet as part of your registration process. If, however, you want to deposit after that, you can follow the process shown below:
| Payment Method | Min Deposit | Max Deposit | Deposit Fee | Processing Time | Triggers Bonus |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Visa | £5 | Not specified | No fee | Instant | |
Mastercard | £5 | Not specified | No fee | Instant | |
| Apple Pay | £5 | Not specified | No fee | Instant |
After you have created an account, head to the 'Profile' area, which can be found via the icon in the top right. Then, tap 'Deposit'.

Now, you need to select your payment method. At first glance, it might look like there are a lot of options, but this is not really the case. Nevertheless, we chose a Visa debit card.

Finally, enter your payment details and tap 'Pay Securely'. Payments are done instantly so once yours has been processed, you can begin betting.

If you have never withdrawn with Fairplay Bet, we have a complete list of steps to follow below, should you need any help:
First, we need to head to the 'Profile' menu, which is accessed in the same way as when depositing. So, tap the icon and then 'Withdraw' when given the option.

Then, you will be asked how much you would like to withdraw and how you would like to withdraw it. We used the same debit card - which is the preset option - but for illustrative purposes, we used a blank image.
Finally, request your withdrawal and wait for the money. Despite its payment area being quite limited, the money arrived quickly in our test.
In the case that your money does not arrive, you can check the 'Pending Withdrawals' section below the actual request area.

It feels difficult to suggest that FairPlay Bet is primarily a sports betting platform just yet. Strides forward have been made, yes, but there is still a distance to go before it is a proper competitor.
We must remember that FairPlay has only offered the sportsbook for just over a year. As such, being too harsh would be unfair, and you should not have the hope of it being a world-class option.
Offering 21 sports currently, there can be questions about the depth of the sportsbook. However, the implementation of a horse racing section has certainly made things look better.
Starting there, then, the choice of fixtures is quite nice. Racing from the UK, Ireland and international courses is available, but the 'Win Only' markets are slightly frustrating.
Moving back to the core product, the football markets are certainly better, and with more than 450 markets on a standard Premier League game, it looks able to compete in some way.
The app doesn't allow bet builders, though, which feels like a major own goal. As a result, you will have to head elsewhere if this is something that you regularly make use of.
In terms of actually betting on sports on the app, Fairplay Bet is fine. Whilst the experience is not mind-blowing, it is easy to access different markets and place bets quickly.
Horse racing was a late addition when the sportsbook was introduced, so it is clear that the priority is improving that side of things currently. As of January 2026, this means there is no casino.
It seems unlikely that one will be added in the near future as well, so if you are looking for an 'all-in-one' bookmaker, this is not the spot for you.
Accessing customer support should be possible anywhere in an app. However, this is not the case with Fairplay Bet, with you needing to head to the 'Social Betting' area.
Then, located in the bottom banner, a 'Contact Us' page can be found. Unfortunately, there is no FAQ page, which limits the instant help possibility of the app.
Additionally, there is no way to actually contact Fairplay Bet inside the app. Instead, you must contact the site via email, social media or by sending the bookmaker a post. Not the best look, in all honesty.

Fairplay Bet, generally, is an interesting one and categorising it is a difficult task. It is a decent option, especially considering how new the sportsbook is, but it does not really compete with the best betting apps in the UK.
Saying that, it serves a purpose thanks to the peer-to-peer system. So, if you regularly bet against your friends, it could be one for you to try out.
Without any promotions or sign-up offers, finding new punters to use the app is difficult. So if Fairplay really wants to compete in the sportsbook world, then this must change.
