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.
