BET365 REVIEW
Bet365 have been around since 1974 and now boast over 2 million members spread over 140 countries, their sportsbook operation is licensed and regulated by the UK Gambling Commission, which ensures that gambling is conducted fairly and openly. Bet365 is run by Stoke City FC chairman Peter Coates and in 2009 the Sunday Times estimated the business was worth £375 million. Their website processes wagers using Thawte SSL digital certificates, which I can tell you as a former computer networking engineer means your money is secure.
Bet365 are giving away £200 worth of free bets to all new customers. All you need to do is open an account, place one qualifying bet of £5 or more and you will be entitled to a free bet to the same stake as your largest qualifying bet up to a maximum of £50. After placing your first free bet, place a further 5 qualifying bets of £5 or more, and you will qualify for a second free bet, to the same value as your smallest qualifying bet, up to a maximum of £50. Telephone customers can place their free bets over the telephone.
Bet365 have a wide range of depositing and withdrawing options including Mastercard and Visa credit cards, Maestro and Visa Electron debit cards, also Neteller, Moneybookers, Click2Pay and good old trustworthy bank transfer. We found withdrawing money via debit card a quick and easy process which allowed us to reinvest our winnings that much quicker.
During our month long review process of Bet365, we did'nt need to contact their customer service once, but we tested them out nevertheless. We found their callback service to be timely and reliable, if you don't want a callback their freephone number connects you with an agent very quickly, our questions via email to support@customerservices365.com were answered within the same day and accurately. Best of all, they have a live chat facility which allows you to speak to one of their many support staff. Overall, we could find no faults with the level of the service, which compared to some other online bookmakers, makes for a refreshing change.
Bet365 have a one wallet system whereby you can transfer funds between your Bet365 casino, Bet365 poker or Bet365 bingo accounts to your sportsbook account, so if you like to play poker or roulette aswell as betting on football or horses, you don't need to keep registering payment methods, withdrawing and depositiing, all you have to do is transfer your funds between your accounts. Simple.
They have an extensive Form & Stats section on the homepage, which we found very useful, especially for horse racing and football; you can check out the past form of all horses running that day and there are literally hundreds of stats on each of your favourite football teams. We wish all bookmakers made making informed punting decisions this easy.
Their pièce de résistance has to be the video streaming facility on many different sporting events, we feel they are really trying to cater for your every need so you don't have to keep switching sites, you can research your bet, place the the bet and cheer it on to success.
