Betfred review

Betfred is up there with household names when it comes to the betting public in the UK, with over 1,300 betting shops in UK towns and cities. With its headquarters in Warrington, North West England, Betfred has a proud history of being a betting operator for the people and started life in 1967 when Fred and Peter Done opened a betting shop in Salford, Manchester. Proud Manchester United fans, Done Bookmakers paid out early on some of the Red Devils Premier League title charges in the 1990s and early 2000s, becoming the first bookmaker to do so. The company became Betfred in 2004 when it launched its online business and took Done Bookmakers into the 21st century.

About Betfred

Betfred is one of the biggest sponsors of horse racing in the UK, sponsoring historic races at Uttoxeter, York and Newmarket. The company also sponsors darts, rugby league and snooker tournaments, including the World Snooker Championship at the world famous Crucible Theatre in Sheffield. The sheer variety of interests in various sports reflects the number of sports Betfred offers to customers who place bets online, with 25 sports offered via online or mobile betting.

In 2017 Betfred launched its #PickYourPunt feature, which allows you to piece together your own betting combinations from a selection of sports and games. You can even combine these selections, so you can place an NFL bet on Denver Broncos to beat the Philadelphia Eagles and also choose O2.5 goals in Arsenal versus Chelsea, for example. You can also make #PickYourPunt Builder selections to be bet as combined singles rather than multiples.

Yes. Accessing the app is easy through Google Play or the App Store, while it offers the same depth of markets and promotions as its website sister. In-play features are also accessed without fuss through the app, making the app a more straightforward option even when a laptop is available.

You can indeed. Betfred offers all the services on its mobile app as you will find in your account on its website, including its Cash Out feature. Not all bets qualify for Cash Out, but those bets that are available to Cash Out are located in the Cash Out Statement page.

First port of call with any query is to check Betfred’s FAQs. Most account or promotion queries can be answered through the comprehensive FAQ section. However, there may be times when you can’t find the answer to your question, at which point you can turn to Betfred’s  Customer Service team either by Live Chat, phone or email.

Like most online sportsbook operators Betfred also offers online casino services that include slots, casino games, Live Casino games and bingo. However, if you want to use your Betfred sportsbook funds in the casino you have to convert them into casino chips first, which is a useful way to keep track of your sports betting funds.

Betfred summary

If you had to pick holes in Betfred’s online sportsbook offering you could point a finger at the expiry of the welcome offer, which specifies that the free bets gifted have to be placed within seven days. In reality, though, as long as you aren’t leaving the country for a week after you register you should be fine. The sheer amount of sports and markets that Betfred offers gives you plenty of chances to use your free bets. The #PickYourPunt feature is useful, though you should be aware that when using the #PickYourPunt Builder you can’t combine multiple game selections and can use it for same-game multi-pick singles only. The expansion of Double Delight to selected NFL games and regular Free Bet Club affords Betfred universal appeal.
