Review of bet365

This famous bookie was founded in 1974 and has since become one of the leading online gambling groups worldwide with over 1.5 million customers in 140 different countries. Since 2001, the bookmaker has accepted bets online and is fully licensed and regulated by the UK Gambling Commission. One of the strong points on bet365 is the large selection of sports betting offers. The number of betting options and sports offered leaves nothing to complain about.  Bets can be made online as well as over the phone. In addition to popular sports such as football (soccer), tennis, motor sports and alpine and Nordic skiing, the bookmaker also includes betting on lesser known sports like curling, skeleton, water sports and lacrosse.Wagers on horse and dog races are also accepted.

Special Betting

For the most popular sports, like football, you’ll find more than just the standard betting options. Special bets on things like the number of penalty cards or corner kicks in a game – to name just two examples. Since handicap and Asian handicap betting continue to gain in popularity, bet365 includes them in their betting offers as well. In bets using handicaps, imaginary "starting points" are assigned to teams before the game starts in order to eliminate the possibility of a tie game. Betters then take these starting points into consideration when placing wagers. Something special on bet365 are teaser bets, where betters determine handicaps themselves, independent of the bookmaker’s fixed odds. These bets are especially common on NBA and handball games.

Live Betting

A comprehensive offering of live bets completes the range of bets on bet365. Live bets are possible on football, tennis, hockey, basketball, rugby and cricket, among other sports. Betting odds and the current betting offers are updated regularly.

Casino Games and Poker

Furthermore, the software also includes a casino and a terrific poker room. The latter offers all popular variations of poker, such as Omaha 8/b and 7 Card Stud, to name a few. Those who don’t yet feel comfortable with different kinds of poker can make use of the excellent poker school bet365 has made available to its users. Under the “Games” tab, you can choose from a number of different games and decide if you want to play for fun or for real money. Bet365 has a relatively good selection of languages on their website. In addition to the more widespread European languages such as English, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian and German, bet365 also provides Greek, Bulgarian and Chinese versions of their homepage, to name a few. Because the current legal situation in the United States does not allow American banks let their customers transfer money to gaming providers, bets from the United States are not accepted.
