Betfair Review

Betfair debuted as an online betting exchange in 2000, the brainchild of two UK entrepreneurs, Andrew Black and Edward Wray. Allowing customers to ‘trade’ prices, rather than setting prices itself was innovative and the company soon grew to become a market leader in the business. It only entered the highly competitive online sportsbook scene in 2012, but after over a decade of building its reputation through its betting exchange it did so with considerable knowledge of what its customers would want and expertise of setting markets competitively.

The company operates under both a UK and Gibraltar gaming licence, and has expanded its operation to encompass all manner of betting products to now offer a one-stop shop for sports, poker, casino and bingo entertainment. It has also consolidated its reputation as a premier league online sportsbook following a merger with another big hitting online bookmaker, Paddy Power, in 2016 making it currently one of the largest online gambling companies in the world with a total value of over $10 billion!

Layout & Usability

Like many of the best online sportsbooks, the sheer volume of content offered at Betfair can make it initially look a bit daunting. However, clear navigation and search filters including ‘Quick Links’ to current In-Play events and other in demand markets make it a cinch to whittle things down to your area of interest. Clicking an offered price summons your virtual Bet Slip onto screen and managing your bets with this is very intuitive – just remember that you’ll need to have a customer account set up to place those bets! This is a supremely simple thing to do with lots of convenient payment methods available, and as we’ve come to expect from leading sites like Betfair a single account can be used to enjoy the full range of betting products on the site.

One feature of Betfair’s sportsbook service that is noteworthy and very welcome is its Price Rush service. Benefitting from its longstanding prowess in exchange betting, this allows certain selected bets to benefit from automatic boosts should better odds turn up on Betfair’s exchange service. That’s pretty cool, and to be clear it can only boost the price you placed your bet at, never reduce it. We like very much.

It offers a comprehensive set of future and In-Play markets covering a whole world of sports (including increasingly popular e-sports fixtures), with slick desktop and mobile access to compile your perfect bet selections. The cherry on the top is this sportsbook’s attractive Price Rush feature, which seals the deal that for top-notch punting potential you should definitely check out all the fun of the (Bet)fair.
