At TPP, our bookmaker reviews are based on 10 main categories, with each of these awarded a rating out of five.

We also evaluate non-sportsbook (and non-exchange) features and products in a separate (11th) category to provide a holistic assessment of each operator, which does not count towards the final rating.

A typical bookmaker review at TPP includes the following:

  • List Icon

    outstanding features at the top;

  • List Icon

    a checklist of prominent features;

  • List Icon

    detailed information about the bookie's welcome offer;

  • List Icon

    in-depth insights about the topic of each category; and

  • List Icon

    a conclusion, where we give our overall, final rating to sum things up.

For a closer look at the 11 factors we take into account in order to determine the quality of a betting site, read on below.

1. Registration Process

To rate a bookmaker’s registration process, we start off by actually going through this journey ourselves! From filling in the sign-up form to completing the account verification requirements, we provide a detailed step-by-step guide for you to follow. Plus, we'll let you know about any welcome offers available.

The rating for this category takes into account two crucial factors: the ease and speed of creating your account, and the security measures in place, such as password protocols and the submission of identity verification documents.

2. Deposit & Withdrawal Options

There are several factors we keep in mind here. Firstly, a good variety of deposits and withdrawal methods is key. Other factors included in the final score are processing times, fees, and the user-friendliness of the bookie's banking system.

We also provide information regarding any restrictions on the site, such as welcome bonus deposit restrictions or identity checks before withdrawals. All the information is compiled in a neat table!

3. Welcome Offer

The best betting sites offer some brilliant welcome bonuses for new users to start off on the right foot! We take an in-depth look at each offer, including bonus codes and all the relevant terms and conditions. Our ratings are determined by the quality of the offer from the different betting platforms.

4. Sportsbook Promotions

Offering a variety of sportsbook promotions is an essential part of any quality online bookmaker. From accumulator bonuses to free bets and prizes, promotional offers can add some extra spice to your betting and could potentially lead to huge winnings.

We appreciate both quantity and quality, so the more promotions the better. We also make sure that they are easy to claim and have favourable terms and conditions. Finally, we keep an eye out for a VIP/Loyalty programme, which can greatly enhance your customer experience if you're a loyal punter.

5. Pre-Match Offer

What we look for here is market variety and depth, including the number of sports, leagues, and events covered. The generosity in odds is also crucial, so we also test the bookmaker’s margin to make sure you get the best deal possible.

Within our pre-match offer section, we cover in detail esports betting and special betting markets, as well as the availability of useful betting features like Cash-Out and Bet Builder.

6. Live Offer

When it comes to live betting, you can rest assured that every bookmaker review we write will have this covered too. The best bookmakers offer tools such as livestreaming, a live scorecard, a graphical representation of an ongoing match, many exciting betting markets, and in-depth statistics. We also check out the market update speed, as well as odds margins.

7. Security

Knowing that you can trust your chosen bookmaker with your funds and personal details is, of course, crucial. To give you peace of mind, we first verify the site's licences, followed by any encryption details implemented by the platform and what personal data they choose to store.

Responsible gambling tools also play a pivotal role in maintaining a secure betting environment online, so we ensure that any bookie we recommend empowers punters to set limits and take breaks. This is usually done by prominently displaying options like self-exclusions, reality checks, cool-off periods, and links to external resources, such as GamCare.

8. Service & Customer Support

The best betting sites in the UK offer various communication channels for the purpose of good customer care, including live chat, phone support, email, social media, and comprehensive FAQ sections. The greater the variety, the higher they score on our end.

What's more, we actively engage with these customer service methods ourselves, assessing and rating them based on their responsiveness, helpfulness, and overall efficiency.

9. Design & Usability

It’s simple: a well-designed site leads to a better betting experience! We keep a particular eye out for visually appealing layouts, user-friendly features, and intuitive navigation. This is more important than some may think, and its inclusion as a category is warranted, as placing bets online should be as easy as possible for everyone, whether you are a novice or a veteran.

10. Mobile

For those who prefer to bet on the go, a sportsbook app that offers the same quality and features as the main site is extremely useful, and is a great incentive to sign up to a particular bookie.

A good betting app is straightforward to use, and will also offer additional special features not found on its desktop counterpart. Moreover, it should ideally be available to download for free on both iOS and Android devices.

Check out our full list of the best betting apps in the UK.

11. Other Products

Betting goes far beyond the realm of sports, so while the provision of products like casino, live casino, poker, bingo, and virtual sports do not factor into our bookmaker ratings, we always make it a point to discuss other offerings available on every platform we review.

On top of this, we also provide detailed insights into non-sports-related promotional offers, welcome bonuses, and other such deals, giving you as holistic an overview as possible.

Below is a well-curated list of the best betting sites online, each chosen for their outstanding offerings that will allow you, the punter, to get the best bang for your buck!

Parimatch Review

At the time of writing, we consider the best betting site in the UK to be Parimatch. For starters, new customers are granted a “Bet £5 Get £20” welcome offer coupled by a simple registration process.

The site's sportsbook is sleek and filled to the brim with promotions, bet boosts, and bonuses. Their variety of 31 sports leaves you spoilt for choice, and their 93.2% payout margin is as good as any.

Parimatch’s casino, table games, and live options are also up to par, and round off an overall brilliant bookmaker.

BetVictor Review

BetVictor is one of the best operators in the UK, which is clear from the get-go with its generous “Bet £10 Get £40” welcome offer. There are three other amazing welcome offers for horse racing and casino, partnered with several promotional offers.

The operator boasts 30 sports to choose from, including various esport tournaments and virtuals. If you fancy something different, their casino and live options also stand up well here.

Additionally, we found the customer service to be highly efficient and prompt, and there are several supported deposit and withdrawal methods. The layout itself is well-designed and easy to navigate across, too.

The Pools Review

Looking to try something unique? The Pools is a specialist in, you guessed it, pool betting — a form of gambling where bets are literally “pooled” together, with the profits gained shared among the winners.

Apart from 30 conventional sports to choose from, you'll find esports and virtual markets too.

On top of all this, there's an arcade section, casino options, and free-to-play games. New sign-ups can enjoy a “£50+ Free Bets Every Week + Get 100 Free Spins” welcome offer, along with plenty of other bonuses to claim later on as an existing customer.

Sportingbet Review

There's nothing quite like a super user-friendly betting platform! Sportingbet is an extremely easy site to navigate, making it perfect for first-time punters. They’ve also got some of the best promotions around, including a “Bet and Get up to £50 in Free Bets” offer, as well as a “20 Free Spins & £10 Casino Bonus” deal.

Their sportsbook variety is top-notch with 36 sports to choose from, along with a great payout margin at around 94%. The live section also deserves a mention, with in-depth markets, several stats, and a convenient livestreaming option. While Sportingbet’s main focus is sports, they also offer casino and live table games.

Spreadex Review

For those who fancy a go at spread betting, look no further than Spreadex. In this form of gambling, you're essentially guessing how much a team will win/lose by in a match. If your guess is right, you win more. It's like saying, “I think Manchester United will win by a lot” or “I think Liverpool will lose by just a little.”

A standout element of this platform is its mind-boggling number of markets, which add up to over 600 on certain events. There are 21 sports to choose from, and fixed odds are available as well.

Spreadex feature several promotions, including their “Bet £25 Get £50” offer for new accounts. Moreover, they have a casino section and, uniquely, a “Financials” page, which lets you bet on stocks and exchanges. A perfect site if you're looking to explore new things!

Bet UK Review

Bet UK boasts a wide range of sports, which is one of the first things that stood out to us, alongside their excellent odds margin of around 94%.

They also offer casino, slots and table games, together with one of the best betting apps in the market. Their welcome offer is a “Bet £10 Get £30” bonus, available on both desktop and mobile.

The site's only slight drawback is that it isn’t as easy to navigate as others, and the overall layout is not very appealing either.

kwiff Review

Despite being a relative newcomer, kwiff still has a lot to offer. The welcome bonus is definitely something you won’t see every day, with new customers granted a ‘Bet £10 Get a £30 Surprise Bet’ deal. This means that the operator crafts a personalised free bet using their advanced betting calculator.

However, their sportsbook leaves a little to be desired, with only 19 sports to choose from, as well as a slightly underwhelming 87% betting margin.

Nonetheless, kwiff's promotions and the excitement of supercharged odds certainly make the sleek, well-designed platform worth a try. Don't forget to give their casino section a go, either!

Coral Review

Sports lovers will certainly take a shine to Coral, where you'll find 52 sports to bet on, along with several esports and virtuals options. The best part is that the payout margin is a stellar 94.7% — the best on our list!

Coral excels in other areas too, offering a fantastic range of options in casino, live casino, bingo, and poker. The promotions section is another string in an already strong bow, especially when it comes to horse racing. Frankly, there aren't many negatives about this platform!

After you sign up, you can claim a “Bet £5 Get £20” welcome bonus, which is superb if you want to start out with a modest investment.

Betfred Review

Betfred is a one-stop-shop when it for gambling, offering an impressive array of sports betting, casino games, poker, various games, bingo, and even a totepool page. It’s quite honestly one of the most diverse operators online, perfect for punters looking to explore different types of betting.

The site's sportsbook has competitive payout margins, averaging 93.3%; however, it is lacking in a richer pool of sport options, with just 23 to choose from. Having said that, Betfred redeems itself with one of the best deals in town at the time of writing — bet £10 and get £40 in free bets when signing up!

As a long-established betting company, Betfred is definitely worth a try and deserves recognition among the top ten best UK operators.

bet365 Review

Even if you know very little about betting, you’ve probably still heard of bet365. This absolute behemoth of a site serves over 20 million users worldwide, and it's easy to see why! One highlight would be the sportsbook, which features 42 different sports and a superb 94% average betting margin.

But that's not all — bet365 also excels in the world of fantasy sports, making it a must-try for football enthusiasts in the UK. And if that's not enough, they also cover casino games, live options, poker, and bingo, ensuring you have plenty of choices to keep you entertained!
