Best Snooker Betting Sites (December 2024)

Coral, as one of the oldest bookmakers around, is our number one choice when it comes to betting on snooker. It will not come as a surprise to those who have followed the sport for a while, as Coral has sponsored big tournaments such as the Players Championship. And with a great selection of markets, the site certainly caters to snooker punters both when it comes to pre-match and in-play bets.

We found that Corals had 25-30 markets even for less prominent tournament qualifiers, with roughly the same amount of markets as soon as the game in question got underway. The selection of outright tournament markets, at the time of testing, was also better than any other bookmaker. All of this is certainly something that most snooker punters prioritise and appreciate.

Coral also offers cash-out for selected snooker markets, with around 9 of them eligible pre-game and although this may not sound like a lot, it is indeed decent for snooker. As for the betting margins, our test showed that Coral had an average of 6.6% for snooker events, which is certainly a respectable score. If you want to learn more about this, you can read our betting margins guide.

Furthermore, although the design leaves a lot to be desired, the live betting experience is decent at Coral and live streaming is also offered for some of the snooker games. The most important thing, however, is that Coral offers many markets for in-play betting and this is something that many snooker punters will greatly appreciate.

As for promotions, there are no snooker-dedicated ones and this is not exactly surprising. On the other hand, the welcome offer - which is a £20 free bet - can indeed be used to bet on snooker (no Coral bonus code needed). Furthermore, snooker odds are regularly boosted and this is another strength of the site, resulting in a positive experience overall.

Having merged with Coral back in 2016, it comes as no surprise that Ladbrokes is the second-best option for betting on snooker. It has also been the official sponsor of several snooker tournaments, such as the Players Championship and the World Grand Prix, and most snooker enthusiasts are thus very familiar with the brand.

The site relies on the same foundation as Coral and has a very comprehensive snooker coverage as a result, with 25-30 markets available even for tournament qualifiers and many in-play markets as well. This is great as punters prefer to have different options when betting on snooker and, unfortunately, far too few sites provide this. And of course, the outright markets offering was the best just like Coral.

Identical to Coral on almost all fronts, cash out is offered on around 9 pre-game markets and there are a few in-play markets that have this feature as well. The odds, or more specifically the betting margins, have been known to differ between Coral and Ladbrokes but our testing showed the same for snooker, i.e. an average of 6.6%.

The live betting experience is decent on Ladbrokes, with an infographic offered only for bigger games, and there are many markets to pick from as mentioned. Live streaming is also available for selected games and this is indeed a huge plus, especially since some punters might not have the subscription needed to watch the game via a broadcaster.

As for promotions, snooker odds are regularly boosted by Ladbrokes, making the already good odds even better. Just like Coral, Ladbrokes also offers a bet £5 get £20 deal to new customers and the free bet can indeed be used to bet on snooker.

bet365 is one of the biggest bookmakers in the industry, having been named the best bookmaker for football as well as the best horse racing bookmaker by us. When it comes to snooker, however, the green-themed site is not the best but will still be a great choice for most punters looking to place a bet.

The coverage is comprehensive, with around 20-30 markets available for a qualifier game both pre-match and in-play. However, compared to the top two sites on this list, we found that bet365 differed too much from game to game. Punters will have no problems when it comes to bigger games or tournament clashes, but qualifiers can sometimes have fewer markets.

bet365 also offers cash out on some of the markets but frustratingly, there is no way to see this prior to placing a bet. From experience, however, we know that it is offered on the standard markets such as match result and more. But punters definitely need to tread carefully here. As for the betting margins, the average came in at 5.4%, which is very good indeed.

The live betting experience - as you would expect with bet365 - is quite nice and for the big games, users will be able to find a great infographic to follow the action. Most of the games are also live-streamed on the site, which is a huge advantage albeit not that unique among the top 10 best snooker bookmakers.

As for the promotions, bet365 offers a very good welcome offer and the free bet can be used to bet on snooker. In addition to this, odds are regularly boosted on the site and this could certainly come in handy for snooker punters.

Unibet has always been at the forefront of innovation, putting the customers first, but how does it stack up for snooker betting? As with many other smaller sports, punters will find a decent selection of snooker markets at Unibet. Our testing showed that there were around 20 in-play markets for a qualifier game, with up to 50 for prominent games.

Punters who like a place before the game in question, to then sit back and enjoy the show, should not choose Unibet as their home for snooker. On the other hand, some just need the very basic markets before the game, preferring to have more in-play markets instead. In any case, there is room for improvement for Unibet here.

Our testing also showed that the cash-out feature is available for all in-play markets, as well as a majority of the pre-match ones. This is a lot better than most of the competing snooker betting sites, meaning those who really like the cash-out feature should perhaps sign up at Unibet. Furthermore, the betting margins were low during our test with an average of 5.84%.

The live betting, without being anything special, is also decent and most of the games are available for live streaming at Unibet. The fact that there are more in-play markets suggests that Unibet prioritises live betting, but the addition of live streaming does not really move the needle as most sites offer this.

Finally, about the promotions, snooker punters will be disappointed. The welcome offer is rather underwhelming, with a bonus of up to £40 if the first bet loses, and there are no other promotions that can be used for snooker betting. Furthermore, while odds boosts are regularly offered on the site, it does not look like this promotion applies to snooker.

Betfred is a well-known bookmaker in the snooker world after sponsoring several big tournaments over the years. It is no surprise that the site is quite good for betting on the sport as well, in other words, even if a few things keep it from competing with the best snooker betting sites out here.

Let's start with the positives though, as around 30 markets are offered per game. It is worth noting that we tested the site during one of the big tournaments, so perhaps this figure should be a bit higher. It certainly needs to be to compete with the best. The outright selection is what you would expect, so overall a decent snooker coverage.

One of the main strengths of Betfred is the live streaming, as this is offered for most events. You only need a funded account and this feature is crucial for the betting site, as the live betting interface is rather dull aside from the streaming. As for the betting margins, our test showed an average of 5.2% which is indeed a very commendable score.

The welcome offer, more specifically a bet £10 get £40 deal, can be used on snooker. However, the free bets are divided as follows: 1x £20 acca bet and 1x £20 in-play bet. This is something to take into consideration before signing up.

William Hill is another one of the leading bookmakers in the UK, which we have ranked, and a decent product is offered for snooker punters as well. For a qualifier game, it ranged between 13-20 of them for both pre-match and in-play betting, while more prominent games tend to have around 35 markets.

Furthermore, only a few of the pre-match markets are eligible for the cash-out feature, and the in-play markets are significantly better in that respect. You would expect it to be the other way around, and most punters probably prefer to be able to cash out their pre-match bets rather than their in-play ones. The betting margins, meanwhile, are okay with an average of 7.1%.

At first glance, you would think that William Hill deserves credit for the live betting experience, with a nice infographic present even for smaller qualifier games. However, as opposed to the other sites on this list, live streaming is not offered for any of the snooker games and this is a huge disadvantage for William Hill.

Moving on to the promotions, William Hill has a bet £10 get £30 welcome offer that punters can claim, and the free bet can indeed be used to bet on snooker. Odds are also regularly boosted on the site, including for snooker games, so it must be said that William Hill is on par with the other betting sites on this front

Existing customers might find it decent to bet on snooker at William Hill, but we would advise potential new customers to choose one of the top sites on this list instead.

Anyone who has dabbled in betting before will know about BetVictor. It is a beloved bookmaker among punters and on the snooker front, the coverage is decent. It will never be brilliant for smaller games, such as qualifiers, but punters will be able to find a good amount of options during bigger tournaments.

During our testing, we found that BetVictor had 15-30 markets depending on the prominence of the game. As an example, a game involving Ronnie O'Sullivan had about double the markets (of course) compared to a few others. As for the outright offering, BetVictor has everything you would expect and in good time ahead of the tournaments.

The live betting experience at BetVictor is fairly decent as well with a little infographic of play-by-play action, as well as key stats on the side. Live streaming is not offered, though, and this will be a major con to most punters. On the other hand, the betting margins were quite good at 6% during our tests.

Finally, BetVictor offers a bet £10 get £30 deal - like many other UK betting sites - and this free bet can be used entirely on snooker. The free bets are restricted to certain markets, divided into 6 bets of £5 each, so this is worth checking out before deciding on whether to sign up or not.

Spreadex is a great snooker for punters who want to work in two worlds, namely spread betting and fixed odds betting. If you are unfamiliar with the term, you can take a look at our guide for how spread betting works. As for the overall snooker product offered on the site, well, it is okay but not much more than that.

When we tested the site, which was in the middle of a big tournament, we found that each game would have around 10 markets for the fixed odds part. There were more options for spread betting, but Spreadex is clearly far behind other sites on this list. The outright selection was at least on par with the rest of the site and this is important, as many snooker punters like long-term bets.

The live interface is not the most pleasing one, even if there is a good window with stats, but this does not matter as much as live streaming is offered. Not for all games, but most of them and all you need is a funded account to access these. As for the betting margins, the average is quite good at 6.3% so punters do not have to worry about excessive fees.

Spreadex recently also entered the world of snooker sponsorships, doing so with the World Grand Prix in 2024, and that is always a plus. As for the welcome offer, with a hefty bet £10 get £40 one offered, £20 of that can be used to bet on snooker.

There is no doubt that Betway is one of the biggest betting sites in the country, especially when it comes to esports betting. However, it is not exactly known for its snooker offering and this will be justified to some punters. The bookie is certainly decent for most sports, though, and this is the case here as well.

We found that prominent tournament games could have up to 35 markets, with a mix of frame betting and overall game markets. This is far from terrible and it was actually pretty consistent throughout the various games offered on the site. All of the standard outright markets were also present on the site during our test, so that was nice to see.

As for the live betting experience, Betway has a fairly decent infographic with the latest action and some stats on the side. However, live streaming is not offered by the site and this is something that most punters will be disappointed to hear. At the very least the betting margins were very low, with an average of 5%.

Finally, taking a look at the welcome offer up for grabs, Betway offers a free bet up to £30 if the first acca on football or horse racing loses. Sure, the free bet can then be used on snooker, but we are not fans of deals that require you to lose. Furthermore, snooker punters would have to place a bet on either football or horse racing, which is not ideal.

LiveScore Bet is certainly an outsider on this list and it shows in the snooker coverage as well. However, it is a very good new betting site in the UK and thus deserves a mention here for a few reasons. Having said that, do not expect anything near the others.

We were pleasantly surprised to find that the site had up to 35 markets for more prominent games, in terms of pre-match markets that is. However, when we looked at some of the in-play options, that figure quickly decreased to around 10 markets and this was a bit disappointing. At least the outright selection is very good with different options.

The live betting experience is significantly behind the competitors, with no proper infographic and no option to live stream the events either. LiveScore Bet is very strong when it comes to football live streaming so this was a bit surprising to us. The betting margins are not fantastic either with an average of 7.3%, so there is room for improvement on all fronts.

The welcome offer, which is a bet £10 get £20 deal, can be used on snooker and this means that new punters will get a boost. Overall, though, LiveScore Bet certainly should not be your first choice for betting on snooker in the UK.
