To activate your Sportsbook 50% Back as a Free Bet up to £35 and 10 Free Spins, simply deposit and bet on any Sportsbook markets of your choice (horse racing, football, tennis, darts etc) at minimum odds of evens (2.00) or greater. At least 3 bets (on different selections) must be placed to qualify for 50% back, 2 of which must be 50% in value of the largest bet you place. Provided you place at least 1 bet of £10 or greater at minimum odds evens (2.00) or greater you're guaranteed a £5 Free Bet and 10 Free Spins either way.

Casino losses qualify separately under QuinnCasino 50% Cashback Welcome Offer. If at the end of the day (23:59) your account has losses overall, you will get 50% back as a free bet up to a maximum of £35 plus 10 Free Spins.

These Open Account Offer Terms and Conditions apply to new customers who open an account from 12:00 UK Time on 2nd March 2023.
How the offer works:
Sign up, make a qualifying deposit and then claim the offer. If you deposit between £5 and £10 you will receive three times that value in Free Bets, upon settlement of qualifying bets. For example, if you make a qualifying deposit of £5, you will be able to release £15 in Free Bets or if you make a qualifying deposit of £10 or more, you will be able to release £30 in Free Bets. To release your Free Bets, place a qualifying bet(s) to the value of your qualifying deposit and allow the bet(s) to settle. Bets must be placed from your deposited funds to count towards the release of Free Bets. Once your qualifying bet(s) has settled, you can use your Free Bets by selecting 'Use Bet Credits' in the bet slip. Once you have met the qualifying conditions, you can use your Bet Credits to stake bets without risking your own cash. Bet Credits can be used on any sport across a wide range of markets. Any returns from bets placed with Bet Credits are added to your Withdrawable Balance, returns exclude your Bet Credits stake. You can also fund a bet with a combination of Bet Credits and cash.

Detailed Reviews of the Best Football Betting Sites

The fight to be top for football bets is as fierce as any local derby you’ll ever get to see. That’s good news for football fans as it means the top football bookies battle to offer the best football odds, features and football betting offers. Here we’ll take a closer look at each of our 10 best football betting sites in the UK and highlight their various strengths.

1. BetMGM Football Betting

BetMGM is one of the newer football betting sites in the UK and is working hard to get up to speed. Its clean and elegant layout makes it easy to explore the huge range of leagues and matches that you can bet on. In-play betting is available on many games, and there’s plenty of live streaming, too.

Whether you’re betting at the main desktop site or using the BetMGM app, you’ll have access to all the football betting markets you could want. You can bet on everything from the full-time result to how many goals a particular player will score. Bet Builder and Pre-packs are also available.

BetMGM really stands out as a top football betting website thanks to its free-to-play Golden Goals promotion. This gives you the chance to win up to £2 million by predicting six correct scores.

What we like:

• Comprehensive football betting service
• Free Golden Goals promotion with £2m jackpot
• Bet Builder and player prop markets
• Classy football betting website and app

What we don’t:

• Occasionally missing some football betting odds

Visit BetMGM

2. Spreadex Football Betting

Spreadex is special because it has both fixed odds and spread betting markets for football. You won’t find that kind of choice anywhere else, so if you’re someone who likes to bet in both types of markets, this is the place to be.

The range of markets here is vast, and if live streaming about a match isn’t available, it will tell you where you can watch it elsewhere. Spreadex also has some of the best football betting odds, which is handy.

What we like:

• The UK’s leading football spread betting sportsbook
• Returns can be better than with fixed odds betting
• Plenty of football markets
• Easily place bets via the mobile betting app
• Fixed football odds betting available too

What we don’t:

• Limited regular promotions
• Spread betting emphasis won’t suit everyone

Visit Spreadex

3. Betfred Football Betting

A long-established UK bookie with a reputation for offering valuable promotions, Betfred is one of your best bets for football. Betfred football odds are competitive, and the site also offers in-play betting and enhanced football betting odds for multiples.

There’s a good selection of prop markets here, and a “PickYourPunt” bet builder allows you to combine several to make things even more interesting.

Another nice feature is the additional information that Betfred gives you about where to catch the live streams in your country. Check out our full sportsbook review for the latest Betfred welcome offer.

Pros

• Wide choice of football outright markets
• Useful info on live streams
• PickYourPunt Bet Builder alternative
• One of the best mobile betting apps
• Enhanced multiples available

Cons

• Layout of events and markets could be simpler

Visit Betfred

4. QuinnBet Football Betting

QuinnBet is a UK-based online sportsbook that operates with a United Kingdom Gambling Commission licence. It’s famous for being big on horse racing but also is among the strongest football bookmakers available.

QuinnBet has all the standard football betting markets you’d expect, such as correct score, BTTS and first goalscorer. In addition, it has a “Create-A-Bet” option that allows you to create same-game multiples. QuinnBet offers featured Create-A-Bet selections – which are pre-built bet builders – for those who don’t want to put one together for themselves.

Check out our in-depth QuinnBet review.

Pros

• Regular enhanced odds offers on football
• Create-A-Bet on all major football matches
• In play betting options a-plenty

Cons

• Too much emphasis on horse racing!

Visit QuinnBet

5. Bet365 Football Betting

The football coverage at bet365 is staggering – there is simply no other word for it. If there is any professional football match taking place anywhere in the world, you’ll be able to bet on it here.

One notable benefit of betting on football at bet365 is its ‘2-up’ policy. If you back a team to win and they go two goals up at any time, this bookie will settle your bet as a win immediately. That’s with no thought for what might or might not happen during the remainder of the game.

Your backed team could lose 2-6, and as long as they were 2-0 up at some stage, your bet would have already been settled as a winner. Find out more in our comprehensive Bet365 review.

Pros

• Your bet is a winner is your team goes two goals up
• Outstanding array of potential football markets
• Bet Builder and Bet Builder +
• Easy to use site – unflashy and intuitive
• Up to 70% bonus on football accas

Cons

• Unappealing site design

Visit Bet365

6. BetUK Football Betting

BetUK enters our list of the top 10 best football betting sites largely thanks to the depth of its offering on football matches. It’s common to find up to 100 different markets on a single match, and you have the option to fold many of them into bet builders. There are also pre-packed bet builders to choose from.

The in-play football betting offering is strong, with stats and real-time graphics being displayed as each match unfolds. BetUK also has one of the best betting apps around, and the mobile user experience is arguably even better than the desktop version. The welcome offer is Bet £10, Get £30 and you can find out more in our full BetUK review.

Pros

• Regular BetUK Specials
• Great football betting app on mobile
• Guaranteed a swift payout
• Wagering on some bonuses is only 10x
• Keep your eye on several games at once!

Cons

• Desktop layout makes some odds difficult to find

Visit BetUK

7. PaddyPower Football Betting

PaddyPower remains a top site for football betting mainly because of its ‘Power Price’ boosts. These are specific bets where the football odds are boosted to make them more appealing. When you are placing your bet on a football match at PaddyPower it is always worth checking the Power Price options to see precisely what is available.

A strong feature here is the display of the “Most Popular Accas”. This lets you see football accumulators backed by other fans. Of course, Paddy Power has all the other features you’d expect from a top football betting site, such as Bet Builders, in-play markets and outrights. The Paddy Power welcome bonus is cash back as a Free Bet on losing bets up to £20.

Pros

• ‘Power Price’ boosts on tailored football bets
• Most Popular Accas reveal how others are betting
• Best odds guaranteed on all football markets
• Extensive market coverage of global leagues
• Live play betting is available at all times
• Test your betting skill with ‘Beat the Drop’

Cons

• Paddy’s sense of humour isn’t for everyone

Visit PaddyPower

8. LiveScore Bet Football Betting

Once heralded as one of the best new football betting sites around, LiveScore Bet is now a well-established favourite. This is a bookmaker that is always striving to improve its features wherever possible, and today it offers everything from Price Boosts and Match Specials to useful stats that can help you make more informed wagering decisions.

LiveScore Bet provides a really strong football betting experience, particularly on mobile. Its live audio and live video streams of many matches make it a particularly good venue for in-play football betting.

The LiveScore Bet welcome offer is Bet £10, Get £20 in Free Bets.

Pros

• Provides statistics and where to watch matches
• Live audio and video on many football games
• Built for a seamless mobile experience
• Free-to-play daily “Squads” game

Cons

• Layout does not suit football betting site on desktop

Visit LiveScore Bet

9. Betfair Football Betting

Betfair’s sportsbook is a more fan-friendly experience than its exchange betting sister, which can be somewhat daunting at first. The sportsbook features here are similar to what you’d find at other top football betting sites. That means you can enjoy Odds Boosts, early payouts, and more.

There are plenty of football betting markets to explore here, and you can combine multiple outcomes into your own bet with an #OddsOnThat feature. All you have to do is send a tweet on X to @Betfair with the details of your proposed bet, and the team will give you odds for it.

The Betfair welcome offer is Bet £10, Get £30 in Free Bets.

Pros

• Football bets paid out at 90 minutes
• #OddsOnThat gives you tailor-made prices
• Daily featured odds boosts
• Quickly build accas using market type filter
• Strong football odds on all matches

Cons

• Exchange-inspired layout can be overwhelming

Visit Betfair

10. VirginBet Football Betting

You might notice a similarity between Virgin Bet and LiveScore Bet. That’s no coincidence because both sites are powered by the same platform. Unsurprisingly that makes Virgin Bet another one of the best football bookmakers for mobile users, and it provides a great experience for anyone who enjoys live betting.

Virgin Bet is generous with its offers for both new and existing customers, making it ideal for fans looking for a new football betting site to try. The current welcome offer is Bet £10, Get £20 and you can see the latest Virgin Bet bonus code and promotion details in our full review.

Pros

• Great for live football betting
• Ideal for fans preferring to bet on mobile or app
• Strong new and existing customer bonuses 

Cons

• Desktop experience is less user-friendly

3. Account funding: Next, link your preferred payment method, such as a debit card or another accepted alternative.
4. Identity verification: Some sites may require you to verify your identity for security purposes. This could involve uploading copies of documents such as your passport and a recent utility bill.
5. Place your bet: With registration complete, you’re all set! Browse the available markets, select an event, click on your desired odds to add the bet to your slip, choose your stake, and place your bet.

How to Bet on Football: Football Betting Tips & Strategy

Not sure how to bet on football online? Using the leading betting websites is a good starting point, as you’re guaranteed the best football betting odds and bigger payouts for your successful football betting predictions. If you want to make money betting on football though, successful football betting systems are the way forward.

Here are our top tips to use at the best football betting sites in the UK:

Value Football Betting

The best way to make money with football betting is via value football betting. This is where you bet on the value of the bet as opposed to the price. Sports betting companies do not always get it right, and assessing bets that have added value is a skill that successful footballer bettors develop.

Finding value bets takes time and effort, but the more you know about football and football betting, the easier they will become to spot.

Jamie Clark

Pro Tip: There are Two Approaches to Value Betting

You can either look at specific games in search of value betting opportunities or take a longer term view and put bets on that last for the entire season. The path you choose depends on your level of patience and when you want to see your return on investment (ROI).

Football Handicap Betting

If you enjoy betting on the actual score of football matches (which is extremely hard to get right) you are probably going to be more successful with handicap betting. Handicap betting is a way of predicting the margin of victory between two teams, and usually generates better odds and therefore potentially better winnings.

James Fuller

Advice from our Betting Expert: When to Use Handicap Betting

Generally speaking, this form of wager is used in order to gain increased value when betting on favourites. In theory, the greater the handicap given, the greater the potential earnings will be.

You can make money with football betting with a greater chance of success if you choose handicap betting over correct score or winning margin betting, and indeed even 1×2 betting itself.

Live Football Betting

Live betting on football means wagering while the match is being played. This can often give you better odds than you might get before the match. For example, if the odds of a goal being scored in the first half were 1.30 prior to the match starting, they might be 1.80 after thirty minutes of play.

James Fuller

Pro Tip: Consider Betting on a Comeback

If the pre-match favourites concede a goal before the opposing team, it could be worth quickly backing them to come back to win. The best teams are at the top of the table for a reason. However, they are not immune to conceding.

Genuine football experts (and in particular, followers of a particular team) can often end up well in profit because of live football betting.

Explore New Betting Markets

Football betting in the UK is big business, and bookmakers are always keen to dream up new markets to entertain the masses. It can often be worth exploring the full range of markets on offer to make sure that you’re betting on those that are best suited to your forecasting skills and temperament. Also make a habit of checking out any new markets that are being offered by your favourite bookmakers because they just might enable you to take a similarly new approach to landing winning bets.

Try Out Different Bookmakers

This tip is similar to the previous one, but here we’re advising you to check out all of the bookmakers that you have access to. You might be a big fan of Betfred football betting, but if you always bet with that particular bookie you could be missing out on opportunities that are available elsewhere. Don’t be afraid of signing up with several alternative betting sites and exploring what they have to offer. You could find that one is the best site for football accumulators and that another has superior football enhanced odds. In this case, you could use both sites as your needs determine.

Virtual Football Betting

Virtual football is software-based soccer where games only last 90 seconds or so. That’s because you only see the virtual video highlights, not the full game. Just as good is the fact that there’s only a 90-second wait until the next match.

With most virtual games you can only bet on 1×2, but at some sites – such as William Hill – you can bet on the correct score, total goals scored, BTTS and more.

One advantage of betting on virtual football is that it lets you learn how some of the main markets work in a matter of minutes. It’s also very entertaining. Just bear in mind that these are games of chance, not skill, so using serious stakes isn’t recommended. You’re more likely to make money betting on football by betting on actual matches, not virtual ones.

Spread Betting on Football

Spread betting is a more complicated approach to football betting. We recommend you use Spreadex for football spread betting, and to read the football betting guide that they have made available to their customers.

With spread betting, the more right or wrong you are about a particular prediction, the more you will win or lose. You can limit potential losses, but doing so will also limit your potential wins. Read our in-depth guide to spread betting and give it a try when you’re succeeding so often in regular markets that it’s beginning to bore you.

A Guide to Football Betting Markets

At its core, football betting is simple: you predict the outcome of a match. Every match, regardless of extra time or penalties, will culminate in one of three results: a win for Team A, a win for Team B, or a draw. This fundamental football bet type is known as the ‘1X2’ market, where ‘1’ signifies a home win, ‘2’ an away win, and ‘X’ represents a draw. Despite the myriad betting choices for each game, the ‘1X2’ market still attracts the lion’s share of wagers.

But the world of football betting extends far beyond just predicting match outcomes. For those deeply versed in the sport, a wealth of betting opportunities awaits, allowing you to leverage your football knowledge for potential gains when placing football bets.

Popular Football Leagues and Championships to Bet On

In today’s ever-accessible world of online betting, punters can bet on leagues from all around the globe. Here are some of the most popular football leagues and competitions you can bet on at UK betting sites.

Premier League

The Premier League is England’s highest professional football league, so it’s no surprise that EPL football betting is most popular with punters. The season runs from August to May, and 20 football clubs are involved, including Manchester United, Liverpool, Arsenal and Chelsea.

Professional football teams that haven’t reached the heady heights of the Premier League play in the EFL Championship, League One and League Two. Some key competitions in the English football scene include the FA Cup, the Football League Cup, and the EFL Trophy.

Serie A

This is Italy’s equivalent to the Premier League, and it is similarly contested by 20 teams including Juventus, Lazio, Inter and Milan. Teams that are relegated from this league go down to Serie B, which is also covered by most football betting sites. Betting is also available for the Coppa Italia, which is an annual knockout cup competition similar to our own FA Cup.

La Liga

The top domestic football league in Spain, La Liga (aka Primera Liga) is the home of teams like Barcelona, Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid and Valencia. The second division is La Liga Segunda. You can bet on both leagues with ease at UK bookmakers, as well as on the Copa del Ray tournament.

Bundesliga

The Bundesliga – in case you haven’t already guessed – is the top professional football league in Germany. It’s contested by 18 teams, including Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund, Beyer Leverkusen and VfB Stuttgart. You’ll see it listed as Bundesliga I at many betting sites, with Bundesliga II being the second division. The cup competition in Germany is the DFB-Pokal or German Cup.

Ligue 1

Ligue 1 is the highest professional league in France. Like the Bundesliga in Germany, it sees 18 teams compete for supremacy. Teams include Paris Saint-Germain, Lyon, Monaco and Marseille. Ligue 2 is the second division, and if you want to bet on the domestic cup competition, you need to look for the Coupe de France, also known as the French Cup or the France Cup.

Champions League

The UEFA Champions League (UCL) is an annual competition between the top professional football teams in Europe. This is where teams like Manchester City, Real Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich play each other to determine which of them is the best of the best. The final match of the tournament is normally held at the end of May or in early June.

Other Domestic Competitions

We haven’t mentioned Scotland yet, but you can also bet on the Scotland Premiership, as well as the Championship, League One and League Two. Scotland also has its own FA Cup and a Scottish League Cup.

Outside of the top five European countries, leagues that are also popular among football bettors in the UK are Eredivisie in Holland, MLS in the USA, Jupiler League in Belgium, Primeira Liga in Portugal, and Super Lig in Turkey, as well as the each of the top divisions in Denmark, Sweden and Norway.

Other European Football Competitions

The UEFA European Championship, UEFA Nations League, UEFA Europa League and the UEFA Europa Conference League are other European football competitions that provide plenty of betting opportunities. You can bet on everything from the outright winner to the stage at which a particular team will be eliminated. Of course, match-by-match betting is also available.

Other International Competitions

All football-playing countries in the world have a national football team, and there is a range of international team tournaments that football bettors can enjoy watching and placing wagers upon. The most famous is the FIFA World Cup, which takes place every four years.

Which Bookmaker has the Best Football Odds?

Many sites claim they have the ‘best odds guaranteed’ when it comes to football betting and all types of sports betting, but what does this mean? It means that if your winning bet had more competitive odds at a different site, you can contact your sports book and claim the difference.

The following sites all adhere to the ‘Best Odds Guaranteed’ mantra:

• Bet365
• BetVictor
• Betway
• Paddy Power
• BoyleSports
• Betfred
• Betfair
• Parimatch

The bookies are not always right (we’ll never forget that they offered odds of 5,000/1 about Leicester City winning the 2015/16 EPL) but they are right more often than not. It’s also worth noting that you might get better odds at sports betting exchanges rather than sportsbooks, as such sites make money from commissions and not from losing bets.

Licence and Safety

You are of course free to completely ignore all our recommendations and strike out alone when it comes to finding the best betting sites for football in the UK. We do have one recommendation though – stick to sites that are properly licenced. If you use a site in the UK which does not have a license from the UK Gambling Commission, you’re asking for trouble.

Finally, remember to stay safe by betting in a responsible manner. If you find that your gambling is getting out of hand, don’t be slow in reaching out for help from any of the organisations listed below:

• UK Gambling Commission
• BeGambleAware
• Gamblers Anonymous
• eCOGRA (eCommerce Online Gaming Regulation and Assurance)
