Betfred sister sites

Betfred sister sites 2023

While the header of this section of our page might read “Betfred sister sites,” it might as well read “Betfred sister site.” There’s only one other iGaming brand under the umbrella of Petfre (Gibraltar) Limited, and it’s Oddsking. Betfred (or rather Petfre) launched Oddsking as a new brand in 2018. The question of why the company did that is one that many people have asked in the years that followed, and we’re yet to hear a compelling or convincing answer. There’s nothing that Oddsking does that Betfred didn’t already do. In fact, it might have been a more useful exercise to partition up Betfred into its various sub-brands (Betfred Casino, Betfred Poker, Betfred Bingo and so on) and treat those as Betfred sister sites rather than going with Oddsking, which very much looks and feels like a poor relation.

With a name like “Oddsking,” you’d naturally expect this site to lead with sports betting. You can bet on sports here – in fact, it operates the same sportsbook as Betfred – the latest sporting fixtures and odds aren’t the first thing you’ll see when you arrive on the Oddsking website for the first time. Instead, you’re greeted by a bland-looking homepage full of slots, which appear to have been arranged in no particular order. There are a few promotions at the casino (and yes, it is a casino rather than a sports betting site), but they’re hidden behind a tab rather than being advertised on the homepage. Something about the design of Oddsking makes it look amateurish to the point of coming across as unfinished. It’s nowhere near the same quality as Betfred, and it’s baffling to think what its owners might believe it contributes to the Petfre Limited brand.

Betfred operator – Petfre (Gibraltar) Limited

Betfred is such a famous name in the gambling and iGaming world that even people who’ve never played a bet with the company know its story. We’re using the name “Betfred” rather than “Petfre (Gibraltar) Limited” became that’s merely the name that the company is registered in Gibraltar under. Gibraltar is the base of the company’s online operations, but the bulk of the company’s physical trade is still done in the United Kingdom. The first Betfred betting shop was opened by Fred Done, the company’s founder, in Salford, England, in 1967. By 2004 – a time when the online betting revolution was only just beginning to kick into full swing – the company had annual turnover of more than £3.5bn, having more than quadrupled in the previous two years. By the time 2020 began, that number was reported to have risen to £10bn per year. There’s never been a rise and fall of Betfred – just a rise followed by another rise.

Unlike several other betting companies that began as real-world betting shops, Betfred has remained as dedicated to the offline aspect of its business as much as it is to the online world. The company had more than two hundred shops by the year 2000 and reached London for the first time two years after that. It wasn’t until 2004 that the company officially became Betfred, though – prior to that, it was known as Done Brothers. Betfred was chosen as a name that was more suitable for the new digital era. By the following year, the company had five hundred physical shops plus a television channel. Although other betting companies have since followed suit, Betfred TV was the first of its kind. Today, the company is understood to operate more than 1600 shops and employs close to ten thousand people. Some sources estimate its value to be in excess of £1bn, and it isn’t hard to see why.

Betfred Sister Sites Welcome Bonuses

There are several promotions available for your consideration at Betfred, so it’s all a question of what you want to do when you land on the site’s homepage. If you’re one of the millions of people who trust Betfred for sports betting, the new player offer is £30 in free bets when you register a new Betfred account and then bet £10 on sports. The qualifying bet has to be placed within seven days of registering an account, and the free bets will expire if they haven’t been used within seven days of allocation.

If you’re into Betfred for its casino rather than anything to do with the sportsbook, the current welcome promotion is up to two hundred free spins on selected slots for all new players who stake £10 or more on slots. We say “up to” because the number of spins you’ll actually receive is down to which slots game you’d like to play through them on. Players could take fifty free spins on the original Age of the Gods slot by Playtech at 20p per spin, one hundred free spins on Better Wilds at 10p per spin, or the full two hundred free spins on Age of the Gods: God of Storms 2 at just 5p per spin. The value of the spins obviously isn’t high, but the good news here is that Betfred Casino doesn’t impose any wagering requirements on winnings. If those spins turn up some goods for you, the cash is yours to keep.

New players should also note that there are tailored welcome promotions available at both Betfred Live Casino and Betfred Bingo, too. However, you’re limited to just one of these welcome promotions. Be very sure of what you bet on and how you want to play before you settle on a welcome promotion – the chance won’t come again.

Other Promotions

From the above, it’s very clear that Betfred is anything but shy about giving its players promotions. Coming back to the main point of the site, though, sports betting is the activity that Betfred was built around, and that’s where most of the promotions are to be found. Most of the Betfred sports betting promotions are centred around a specific match, event or fixture, so once the event is over, the promotion is gone. Some hang around for longer, though, and the Free Bet Club is one of them. All players who stake £20 or more on sporting events between Monday and Thursday every week receive a free bet at or before 3pm on the Friday of the same week. You can’t trigger the promotion by placing multiple bets on the same event, so again, be careful.

If you’re sticking with Betfred Casino, the best ongoing promotion on the table for you is the Free Spins Accumulator. “Accumulator” is a word you’ll hear more often in relation to sports betting, but here’s how it works at Betfred Casino. Players who spend £10 or more on slots inside Betfred Casino between Monday and Sunday each week get a single free spin (priced at 10p) for every £10 they stake, up to a maximum allocation of 200 free spins per week. The spins are credited into player accounts at or before 17:30 on Mondays. The spins are restricted to specific slots games (which is par for the course with promotions like this one), and wagering requirements aren’t imposed.

Top Games at Betfred

Working out what the best games at Betfred is, like most things about this review, a question of where you place your emphasis. If you were to ask the people behind Betfred how they’d like their brand to be assessed, though, they’d tell you that sports betting comes first. That means the Betfred sportsbook is the top attraction at this iGaming site, and deservedly so. It’s a football and tennis specialist, with the latest fixtures in both sports visible in plain sight as soon as you land on the homepage. In-play odds are given the highest overall promotion, whereas if you’re looking for horse or greyhound racing, you’ll be able to access all the latest races and odds from the Betfred side menu. The sportsbook here is every bit as potent as you’d expect it to be, considering the size and fame of the Betfred brand.

Some of you will want to know more about the slots and other entertainment inside Betfred Casino. If you’re one of them, content yourself with the knowledge that Betfred deals in the classics. The entire legendary Age of the Gods series from Playtech is available in the Betfred catalogue, and entries in the series often come with progressive jackpots attached to them. Ash Gaming’s Sporting Legends series is also given a share of the spotlight, which makes sense when you consider Betfred’s sporting connections. The Cheltenham Sporting Legends slot is listed especially prominently. Even with all this said, though, don’t expect an enormous range – Betfred doesn’t work with as many providers as a top dedicated online casino would.

Customer Support and Licensing

Betfred is a big brand, and big brands are expected to offer stellar customer support. Betfred doesn’t disappoint on that front. Live chat is made available on a 24/7 basis, and players in the UK have a freephone number to call on 0800 028 7747. If you’d rather give both of those options a miss and rely on good old-fashioned email instead, it’s [email protected] The licence that covers Betfred is held with the UK Gambling Commission by Petfre (Gibraltar) Limited under account number 39544. In September 2022, the company was issued both a financial penalty and a warning by the UKGC after being found guilty of breaking licence conditions relating to preventing money laundering and interacting with customers. The fine was in the sum of £2.87m.

Withdrawal Speed and Support

The withdrawal options accepted by Betfred are referenced by logo in the footer of its website. Visa and Mastercard debit cards are both supported, and there’s further support for e-wallets in the shape of Neteller, Skrill and PayPal. Please note that other banking methods like Trustly aren’t supported. Betfred aims to process withdrawals on the same day they’re requested where possible, but players should be aware that validation checks can sometimes take up to 48 hours. Any further delays beyond that point will be down to your chosen withdrawal method rather than Betfred itself.

Final Thoughts on Betfred

You’ll inevitably expect big things from a household name like Betfred, and by and large, you get them. This is one of the UK’s most famous sports betting brands, and over time it’s evolved into an iGaming powerhouse. At the heart of the Betfred website is the sportsbook, and that’s still the most impressive thing about it. The casino has some nice promotions, but it doesn’t have enough depth to go toe to toe with the best of the best. The live casino section has a decent number of options, though, and both Betfred Poker and Betfred Bingo are well-thought-of. You won’t find many all-rounders better than Betfred.

★★★★★
I never have any problems playing at Betfred; I’m happy with everything. David, April 25th 2023. Source – Trustpilot.

★★★★★
There are quite a few games at Betfred that I believe to be fixed, mostly the roulette. I spent £200 on slots and didn’t get a feature, but I went through £300 betting on number 36 at roulette, and that never came at all. On top of that, I never received my welcome bonus. Ricardo, April 24th 2023. Source – Trustpilot.

★★★★★
Withdrawals from Betfred take too long to arrive. I get better freebies from Coral and Ladbrokes, too.Christopher, April 24th 2023. Source – Trustpilot.

★★★★★
Don’t play at Betfred. I won £700, and my account has been blocked to stop me from accessing it. I’ve had nothing but rudeness from staff when asking about it. Always happy to take money from me, never eager to pay out.Sam, April 23rd 2023. Source – Trustpilot.

★★★★★
The horse I backed fell in a race on Saturday, and the jockey was badly injured. Every other bookie I placed a bet with refunded the bet, but Betfred didn’t. What a weasely thing to do.Jamie, April 23rd 2023. Source – Trustpilot.
