Bet365

One of the best-known online bookmakers Bet 365, will soothe you with its prevailing green colours. When a website is the colour of a football pitch, everything seems much easier. The flaw that will definitely bother you from the very start is a small font. Besides this minor shortcoming, Bet 365 will offer you a quite good start-up menu. There are three menus on the left: sports, services and information, and on the right in red, you will find the most important options for your first bookie visit: a join-in form and special account offers: for new members and separately for old members of Bet 365. Then we have a very important menu site issues, where you will find important answers to the questions regarding the settings of your browser, cookies, compatibility, spyware and antivirus issues. The middle is reserved for the matches currently playing, of course with the live betting options, as well as the matches that are played later that same day. Around there somewhere, written in small font but noticeable stand few other important issues: betting rules, odds display mode (decimal, american or fractional), log-in option for old members, and of course, contact (via constantly available chat or if you are not in a rush via email).

The greatest objection to design, besides the small font is that some important things like money transfer or preview of your previous bets are done via small and unintelligible pop-up windows, where very important buttons can hardly be noticed or is hidden somewhere in the corner.

When you click on Open Account or Join Now button, you will start a fairly simple procedure of joining the bookmakers. The little flaws can be:

- the phone number field does not except + sign
- the address field does not allow you to enter / sign in your home number.
- you get to choose your own username (which must be unique) and password so you must be VERY imaginative while choosing since your favourite will definitely be unavailable

Finally, you choose the method of paying that will be further referred to as deposit. If you choose Euro to be your currency, deposit can be placed via numerous means of transfer (credit cards, et. al.), and of course there is our favourite and very handy simple service: .

Previously we wrote about the transfer of your funds from your bank account to Moneybookers service. Now you have to transfer the funds from Moneybookers to your account at Bet 365. The procedure is more than simple after you log in. Click on Top up funds, and a pop-up window will offer you fields where you enter the amount you wish to transfer from Moneybookers alongside fields for password. If all the info is regular, by clicking Submit, Bet 365 will directly lead you to your Moneybookers account, where all you need to do is enter your Moneybookers password and confirm it, and your money is transferred to Bet 365. If everything is OK, you will be automatically redirected to bookmakers’ website and the betting can begin.

Minor notice: If you are ardent in betting, always choose Sportsbook option in appropriate transfer fields, because that is the mark of sports betting. Besides, Bet 365 offers you special accounts for real ’gamblers’: Casino, Poker and Games options.

When you shear the bookmakers and you want certain funds to be back on your Moneybookers account, simply click on Withdraw, where you will find another pop-up window with the amount of money at your disposal and a field to enter the amount you wish to withdraw. With the confirmation via password, this will be done in two or three clicks.

For those afraid of their betting passion and overspending of hardly-earned money, a good choice would be to limit your total amount on your account, on daily or weekly basis. This amount can be reduced at any time, but of you wish to increase it, you will have to wait 24 hours after your demand, which is more than enough to calm you down a bit. This is called Deposit Limits and can be adjusted on your account under the Members-Deposits option.

As on all good bookie websites, the betting procedure on Bet 365 is more than simple. By choosing your sport, then league and the match you will get the wanted event which you wish to bet on. There is always Live betting option that offers you all on the home page.

For example, click on Soccer, then FA Cup, and a list of matches will be in front of you. When it comes to soccer matches, the odds are shown for final outcome by default. Choose a match (for example: Stoke – Newcastle), betting is done by clicking on the field besides your tip (for example: tip 1), so when you click Bet besides your match, the match is on your online slip, that stands on the right. You should enter your stake (the amount you want to deposit) on your slip and confirm by clicking Place Bet, or if you change your mind and wish to remove a match, click Remove.

When you choose a league, you choose the type of betting in the top menu on the side, so this is also quite simple. All you have done on Bet 365, you will be able to see on Bet History option.

Certainly it is very important for your betting appetites which sports your favourite bookie has to offer. We can say that Bet 365 is in the very top regarding this issue, because they offer absolutely everything: from soccer to dog race, baseball or winter sports. Although it probably won’t occur to you to bet on cricket, you will have the option to do so at Bet 365. Therefore you have the widest choice possible.

The main objection to this bookmaker is that their choice of betting types is too classical. The bets are the same you have at the other bookmakers, and rarely (and only for certain matches) you have the offer of betting on the scorers, number of cards (corners, faults) on soccer matches and similar creative combinations.

TOne of the weaknesses of Bet 365 is odds that are somewhat smaller than you might find at other bookmakers. If you bet on favourites, you will always find higher odds with others by 0.02 to 0.05. However, this is regular case with big bookmakers that offer somewhat lower odds but compensated by the certainty guarantee by their big name and maximum correctness for you as a customer with minimum time wasted. It is a matter of your choice.

Online chat and very good customer support

If we tell you that Bet 365 is one of the greatest gambling companies in the world, with sub-branches in about 140 countries in the world and a million and a half of users, you can guess the answer to the question. The number of employees in Bet 365 is around 700 people and this is 32nd largest company in Great Britain.

You be the judge if these facts confirm the reliability and the confidence you want to give them.

Extremely professional. Simplicity, reliability, great choice of sports, fine choice of betting types. Everything is done very quickly, which is a very good quality. The thing that lacks them to get the highest mark is a clearer design of the website, as well as greater choice of special matches (where you can bet on all kinds of stuff). Special offers should also be various and happen more often.

You should expect more or less the same as from other British bookmakers. Classic design, largest choice of sports, simple procedures of money transfer and betting that are not tiresome. Don’t expect ‘wild’ bets that are not among classic range of all other bookmakers. There is a gift bonus at the moment for new members, who deposit between 10 € to 500 € to their Bet 365 account, they have 15% bonus to that amount. In comparison to other bookmakers this is a generous bonus.
