Sports & Betting Markets

Sportingbet provide an excellent range of sports to bet on with over 35 listed on the site. Sports include football, horse racing tennis, golf, basketball, cricket, darts, snooker and other popular choices as well as some not-so-popular sports such as cycling, bandy, water polo and even ski jumping.

A full list of available sports can be seen below.

Customers also have the choice of a huge number of betting markets on these sports. As you’d expect, football matches generally contain the most markets and matches in popular leagues and competitions can have in excess of over 150 different betting markets. You can bet on anything from the match winner, which team will receive the most corners and scorecasts to whether the number of yellow cards given will be an odd or even number and if a team will score more goals in the first or second half.

We’d be surprised if many customers will not be happy with the odds provided by Sportingbet as when we compared them to other bookmakers, we found they were very competitive. These findings were applicable to a range of sports which leads up to believe customers get good value all-round at Sportingbet.

Horse Racing

Customers at Sportingbet can take advantage of Best Odds Guaranteed on all UK & Irish racing. With SportingbetBest Odds Guaranteed, if you back a horse and the Starting Price is bigger than the price you took, your bet will be settled at those odds. For example, if you backed a horse at 4/1 and the SP of your selection is 7/1, should it win, Sportingbet would pay out at the bigger odds of 7/1!

As well as UK & Irish racing, Sportingbet cover races taking place around the world such as in France, the USA and South Africa.

In-Play Betting

The ‘Live Betting’ tab is where you’ll find all of the in-play events available to bet on at Sportingbet. There is usually a range of events from a number of sports at any time of the day and individual events are easy to find using the sports categories listed at the top of the page. There is also the option to mark specific events as ‘favourites’. This can be a very useful feature which allows you to group any live events which you are interested in as it saves you scrolling through the list of events trying to find each one you have a bet on.

There are also some other helpful features in the in-play section which we liked. One is a calendar which displays upcoming events and the other is ‘Multi-View’. This allows you to select multiple live events and view them all on one page with quick access to betting markets, live scores and in-play stats.

As with pre-match markets, there is an impressive number of markets for in-play events. The in-play odds available at Sportingbet are also very good and matched, and in some places, exceeded those at other top bookmakers.

Live Streaming

Customers at Sportingbet have access to live streams covering a variety of sports. Some of these sports include football, tennis, volleyball, basketball, handball, ice hockey and many more. Unfortunately, Sportingbet do not provide live streams for horse racing, which is disappointing given that they offer promotions such as Best Odds Guaranteed and a Racing Multi-Boost.

To access any of the live streams at Sporting bet, simply log into your account and click on the ‘Live Betting’ tab. From here, you’ll notice a ‘Live Streaming’ button which will display all of the events which are available to stream. There is no charge to stream sports at Sporting bet but you are required to have a positive account balance.

Customer Service

Customer support methods at Sportingbet can be found by clicking on the ‘Contact’ link in the top left corner of the website. This will open the help section which contains answers to the most frequently asked questions. There is also a contact form on this page and a button to launch live chat.

Support is available 24/7 and you are usually connected to a live chat agent very fast who seem polite and knowledgeable. For those who would rather talk directly to a customer support representative, Sportingbet also provide a phone number.

Sportingbet App

There are two Sportingbet apps available. One dedicated to sports betting and the other to casino games. Both apps are available to download for free for both Android and iOS devices from the associated app stores.

The Sportingbet app looks great and works just like the mobile version of the website. The advantage of downloading the app is that you’re able to access your Sportingbet account with the touch of a button and log in using the fingerprint scanner. You can also opt-in to receive push notifications which will alert you when Sportingbet are running promotions or offering price boosts.

The Website

First impressions of the Sportingbet website are that it is very clean and well laid out. All of the sports available to bet on are listed in the sidebar and links to important pages such as the sportsbook, casino, live casino, virtuals and promotions sections are situated in the main menu. There are also some handy links to the live score, statistics and results sections in the sidebar which may come in useful.

Overall, the Sportingbet website is a pleasure to be on with it loading fast, being easy on the eye and very easy to navigate around.

Sportingbet Casino

There are around 200 different games available in the Sportingbet casino which is a relatively small selection compared to casinos at some other bookmakers. However, there is a good range of games from a variety of game providers such as NetEnt, Playtech, Microgaming and many others. 

You’ll find a range of popular online slots such as Age of the Gods, Wild Gambler, Halloween Fortune and Mr Cashback, along with a selection of table and card games such as blackjack, roulette, casino hold’em and many others.

Sportingbet Live Casino

The Sportingbet live casino is home to an excellent range of live casino games. There are numerous blackjack tables with varying minimum stake sizes as well as roulette, Caribbean stud poker, Baccarat, Side Bet City and host games such as Deal or No Deal, Lightning Dice, Mega Ball, Super Sic Bo and Monopoly Live.

All Sportingbet Live Casino games are supplied by Evolution Gaming which are the main provider for the majority of live games at online casinos. There is an excellent range to choose from and many which aren’t featured on other sites.

Sportingbet Games

To add to the range of games available at the Sportingbet Casino and Live Casino, more can be found at Sportingbet Games. Here, you’ll find even more online slots and table games as well as the addition of instant win games as well as progressive jackpot slots which have top prizes of several hundreds of pounds!

Sportingbet Virtual Sports

For quieter periods of the sporting calendar customers at Sportingbet can bet on a range of virtual sporting events. There is virtual football, virtual horse racing, virtual greyhounds, virtual tennis, virtual speedway, virtual velodrome and even virtual trotting available to bet on and with events taking place every couple of minutes, there’s never a point in the day when there’s not an event to bet on.

Head on over to the virtual sports section at Sportingbet and you’ll be able to view the full virtual schedule and bet pre-match on any of the events taking place 24/7.

Banking

There is an excellent range of banking options available to customers at Sportingbet. As well as debit & credit card payments, Sportingbet also accept a number of e-wallets such as Neteller, Skrill and PayPal along with Apple Pay which is a nice addition.

Payout times at Sportingbet are reasonable as shown in the table below.

Self-Exclusion: Self-exclusions are similar to Time-Outs except that they last longer. Self-exclusions can be set for any period from 6 months up to 5 years.

Summary

Sportingbet is a solid bookmaker which has over 20 years experience in the betting industry. There are a number of things to like about Sportingbet including an attractive and well-designed website, a great mobile app, an excellent choice of betting markets and competitive odds.

We would like to see the addition of live horse racing streaming and possibly a larger selection of games in the casino section but overall, we are happy to recommend Sportingbet as a trustworthy and professional betting site.
