Betfair

Betfair’s approach to sports wagering is as transparent and honest as you will get. Their solid foundation of providing a transparent wagering system is why they have been one of the premier sportsbook services since 2000. Their betting system handles over 15 million bets per day and covers every section of the European Union as well as South Pacific countries.

UK players will be particularly pleased with Betfair because their focus revolves around some of the UK’s most popular sports. The site and menu structure is oriented toward UK players but Betfair is smart enough to realize that their non-UK betting population is just as important. All serious sports bettors should be sure to check Betfair because they often have some of the more favorable odds in the industry.

Betfair Promo Code and Bonus

Betfair offers no bonus match amount on a specific initial deposit amount. However, by using the promo code XXXXX, new customers will have the ability to make a free 25 GBP bet on any event.

Earning a free 25 GBP bet starts with creating a free account at Betfair. While creating a new account, customers can type in XXXXX in the promotional code box. The creation of a new account will allow customers the ability to perform their initial deposit. Once the initial deposit has been made, new bettors can make a bet worth 25 GBP on any sport. The 25 GBP bet is refunded if the wager ends up losing. Betfair will make sure the losing bet is refunded within 48 hours.

Betfair Sports Betting

Betfair is the premier place to make wagers if you happen to be a soccer fanatic. Betfair keeps a stacked selection of available soccer leagues and events to bet on. Practically every worldwide professional league is covered from the US MLS to the Japanese professional league and everything in between.

Bettors who aren’t particularly interested in placing money down on soccer shouldn’t start looking elsewhere. Prospective customers will be hard pressed to find a selection of sports as deep as the one that Betfair maintains. Here is just a small portion of the selection:

• American Football
• Baseball
• Ice Hockey
• Rugby
• Cricket
• Cycling
• Snooker
• Horse Racing
• Gaelic Games
• Boxing
• Golf

All the sports wagering is done by using a simple interface. The interface sacrifices eye appeal for functionality. The left hand menu features all the available sports with each one being a clickable option that reveals all of the current betting events. Every particular event details all the bet types available. Certain premier events such as top level soccer matches may have over 30 different betting options. Each option has a clickable odds button that will pop up on the customer ticket where the odds, stakes and bets are all outlined for ease of use.

Depositing and Withdrawing

The immediate downside of Betfair’s payment system is that they do not accept any US customers. However, international customers will be able to use one of the most streamlined depositing and withdrawing systems in the business. The Payment Methods section at Betfair outlines every detail a customer would want to know in order to make a successful transaction. There are absolutely no fine print stipulations.

Deposits have a minimum limit of 10 GBP (except when using PayPal, which carries a low 5 GBP limit). All electronic deposit methods have an instant processing period with withdrawals taking 3-5 business days to process. Deposits from credit cards or PayPal carry a 1.5% service fee while withdrawals carry no service fee at all.
