Betfred Introduction

It’s 2020—so you’ve probably realized by now that how website has an effect on you betting decision.

But very few people know just how to choose the best bookmakers to bet.

Today, we’re going to present all information and review that you need to know before you make your mind of whether stay or leave or run away from a sportsbook. Let's help you STAY AWAY FROM SCAM AND SAVE YOUR MONEY.

Let’s get started with Betfred

Betfred is one of the world's most popular and prestigious bookmakers. First founded in 1967 it has expanded its services from a land based bookmaker to include everything from sports betting all the way to online casino games, poker, bingo and more.

The company is highly respected and monitored by both the UK Gambling Commission and Gibraltar Gambling Commission, with the UK Commission being one of the toughest in the market.

But does the company live up to its great reputation?

Here is our experience of the different betting features on the site.

Betfred interface

Okay, the interface need to be up to date, not MESSY and easy to navigate - said by our expert Tommy

Let's see what we have here!

With over 50 years of experience within the betting industry, it is no surprise that Betfred has created a fantastic, well-tailored betting site for their customers. The site itself is clear and easy to navigate, which makes finding the feature you are looking for extremely simple. There are no unnecessary ads or pop-ups, which allows us to roam seamlessly until we were able to find the feature we were looking for. 

But, hmmmm, then we still found some drawbacks

One downside to the site is that it is only available in English and Spanish. This creates issues for international players, who may be excluded by the lack of inclusion. As a result, the customer base is somewhat limited to European players or individuals who speak English or Spanish fluently.

In addition to this, the verification procedure is very slow. It can take multiple days to become verified, which is a major pain when you want to get started on your betting experience. 

Mobile App 

Much like their website design, it is clear that Betfred have put a significant amount of time into the design of their mobile applications. The app itself runs fluently and without struggle. It reacted quickly to our touch, taking us to the page that we wanted.

The app has been ranked among the top 10 best mobile platforms available as well as the Best Casino & Sportsbook App on the 2017 Gaming APP Awards. In our opinion, this is no surprise considering how efficiently the app is run. It makes use of a similar interface that can be found on the website itself, with slightly fewer menu options to prevent overcrowding on smaller services.

Sport Betting

During our time on the site, we saw around 30 different sports to choose from, including popular sports such as football and horse racing, as well as some unique options such as bowls and hurling. This was nice to see and provided us with opportunities to bet on sports that we would have otherwise never experienced. Although there weren’t as many sports available as larger bookmakers such as William Hill, within each of the 30 sports on the site there were also a great number of markets to choose from, many of which we had not seen on any other sites in the past.

For example: Unique options such as handicap betting, over/under and many other unique features. On top of the wide number of sports options, we also had the chance to bet on politics, Hollywood award ceremonies and even the current reality TV show, a niche that we had not experienced in the past. There is also a fantastic eSports market, which is continuously being updated by Betfred as the sports beings to grow. 

High payout

To add to our overall betting experience, Betfred offered a reasonable 96.5% payout on football bets, which is relatively high compared to many Asian high-odds bookies.

The odds themselves are quite good and include great winnings odds such as 5/1 for Everton to beat Crystal Palace in the league. Although not as high as some other larger bookmakers such as William Hill, which offers 98%, it is still a good payout and one that stands above average within the industry.

Overall, the average payout across all sports reaches around 95.1%, which is common and not a standout figure. Therefore, for football betting, Betfred is a great option, although it does not provide anything more than average across other sporting events. 

Live Betting

The live betting available on the Betfred site is one of the best in the industry, providing a wide range of different markets for every sport available in the sportsbook.

Odds included everything from the standard 3/1 odds found in the Premier League, to larger 250/1 odds in the Cypriot football league. Such odds were extremely enjoyable to play around with and extremely exciting as we saw our bet beat the odds and come out on top throughout the game. Live betting was also available on many other sports in the sportsbook, including less popular matches such as bowls. This inclusive approach was absolutely fantastic, and made the sportsbook ideal for a player who wants to try out new sports.

The live betting was also supported by a comprehensive live streaming service, which was available for all major football events, as well as tennis and international games. During the livestreams, cashout was available, which allowed us to cut our losses if a particular bet did not go our way. 

Banking Method at Betfred

The banking methods at Betfred are what is expected from a high-end bookmaker. These include PayPal, Bank Transfer, Debit Cards, Credit Cards, Skrill and Neteller. There are no fees which were ideal and there were also high winning limits for individuals who want to aim for big winnings.

During our experience, our withdrawals were fast, completed within 24 hours and also completed without hassle. 

Customer Service 

The customer service offered by Betfred was extremely good, with well-trained customer representatives who provided us with quick and efficient methods for solving any problems that we had.

The live chat is available 24/7 and replies within a few minutes. If you prefer to talk to someone directly, there is also the option to call Betfred on 0800 032 0878.

Additionally, if you require a longer response you can also email the company at [email protected] They will usually get back to you within 24 hours, providing you with any key details that you need, as well as extra details to help you with your problem.
