How we rank football betting sites

Rhino Bet is a sharp-looking sportsbook from the Playbook Gaming stable which has an excellent variety of football markets and regular football specials.

The football bet builder is stacked full of useful markets including handicaps, corners, and cards that you don't find at all other UK footy bookmakers.

Another area that Rhino Bet excels in is the player props: Player cards, assists, and a great selection of different player goalscorer markets (including method of scoring) are open for betting.

If we're gonna pick holes, we'd like to see more payment methods available and customer service options could be more extensive, too.

BetUK wasn't much to write home about when it first launched in 2018 but it's improved massively since then.

It still lacks live streaming and specials and promos are probably better elsewhere, but BetUK is nevertheless a top football betting option.

In-play and pre-match options are on a par with top-tier UK operators, but the range of football outright markets at BetUK is seldom matched. You can place wagers on league winners, top goalscorer and assisters in all good European leagues (and some rubbish ones too), and you can also bet on players' future/next clubs.

If all that wasn't enough, you should also know that BetUK consistently has one of the best betting sign up offers available to UK punters.

Kwiff tries to do things slightly differently and, for the most part, pulls it off. Suprised bets and supercharged odds are available and the overall football betting selection is great.

If you're looking for odds boosts, Kwiff is pretty hard to beat. It has guaranteed price boosts on Premier League matches and it's massive 'kwiffed' odds are unique in the market.

In our opinion, Kwiff is one of the nicer looking UK online betting sites. It's a clean design and it's easy to navigate on both mobile and desktop.

There's unfortunately no football live streaming but the rest of the Kwiff package more than makes up for this.

Parimatch has benefitted from high-profile partnerships with Premier League teams and a collaboration with BetVictor to become a popular option among football punters.

Clearly, it has many similarities with BV, the layout and style being the most noticeable (which is by no means a bad thing - the user experience at BetVictor is as good as it gets).

But Parimatch’s focus on football is a lot more evident, particularly with the volume and variety of football offers for existing customers. Football is also the first sport you see upon logging in.

Live streaming isn’t part of the offering at Parimatch but it does have a regularly updated football blog packed with previews and tips.

Bet365 blows most other online football betting sites out of the water when it comes to the amount of matches covered in-play.

Up to 12 selections can be combined in Bet365's soccer bet builder, and navigating around these markets is a breeze on both the app/mobile browser and the desktop.

Some of the best-value football odds in the UK can be found at here, and I often use these prices as a benchmark for judging bet365 alternatives.

The self-styled 'world's biggest bookie' has plenty of muscle in the market, which means it can afford to offer a huge welcome bonus to new footy punters.

West Ham would struggle to break into the top two but Betway, their principle shirt sponsor, is deserving its lofty position on our football betting sites list.

Boosted odds are ten a penny at Betway and matches and markets are easy to navigate on the slick dedicated app (or the mobile/desktop sites). Live streaming is available on selected matches and the in-play stats and graphics are extensive and easy to interpret for those games you can't watch.

Betway's 4 to Score free-to-play game is also a great way to boost you football betting balance without having to make extra deposits. All you have to do is pick the first goalscorer in four games selected by Betway and there's up to £50,000 up for grabs each round.

Betfred is one of the UK's most well-known independent bookmakers and is rightly recognised as one of the UK's best football betting sites.

Integrated in-play football tips are provided by Racing Post Insight, and there are plenty of other great football features including PickYourPunt Builder and daily price boosts.

A drawback is that there aren't quite as many matches covered here compared to some competitors but as long as you're not a fiend for Romanian division four live betting, you'll be fine.

(It's also probably our favourite site for betting on rugby league, if you're partial to that when then footy's not on during the summer).

There aren't many football betting websites as stylish as BetVictor. The iconic UK bookie makes betting on football even more enjoyable than it is thanks to a unique and effective layout.

A knack for creating a seamless experience extends to the bet builder which is easy to use and includes a wide range of player and match stat markets, as well as cards and corner bets.

Odds boosts are frequent and competitive and BetVictor has you covered if/when your accumulator fails to land, giving you your stake back.

Live streaming is fairly limited, which is surprising given how established BetVictor is. But this is kind of made up for with Pick 6, BetVictor’s free-to-play predictor game where a grand is up for grabs for correctly predicting six stat-based questions on the weekend’s action.

Bizarrely named betting brands are the way forward apparently. Or, companies are running out of ideas. Either or.

Anyhow, don’t let that get in the way of a solid football offering over at Yeti Bet.

While you don’t get all the bells and whistles that come with the very best football gambling sites, there is a top selection of markets for leagues and tournaments in a range of countries, odd boosts (up to 50%) on all footie acca of 4 or more bets and a decent bet builder.

Live streaming is not part of the package, and neither, so it seems, are football betting promotions.

However, bearing in mind Yeti Bet is an add-on to a casino site, its sportsbook, and football coverage is well worth a look.

Highbet is one of a clutch of brand-new betting sites from the popular iGaming software provider, Aspire Global.

Asthetically, the site looks great and feels fresh - the royal blue of Chelsea combined with a splash of Norwich canary yellow works to good effect and catches the eye!

We also give Highbet credit for the huge number of football markets - Premier League fixtures have close to 400 different bets available. Coverage of the other top European leagues is also comprehensive.

Highbet’s bet builder is fairly basic but does the job and in-play betting is also to a good level. There is no live streaming, however.

No longer just a score-checking service, LiveScore has expanded into the sports betting arena with LiveScore Bet.

In our view, LiveScore Bet has all the qualities to keep pace with its more established and experienced counterparts. From signing up to placing a bet, its sportsbook offers a quick and smooth and there are a load of features to boot.

A biggie for me is its vast live-streaming catalogue. Matches from La Liga, Serie A and Ligue 1, as well as fixtures from the national leagues in Portugal, Denmark, Sweden and Poland, can all be viewed on the website or mobile app.

Other highlights include its easy-to-use bet builder (pre-loaded with bets), free bets and LiveScore Bet Squads, the free-to-play game that awards cash prizes for picking a player that scores in the selected football matches.

Virgin Bet has gone from strength to strength since stepping into the world of online sports betting in 2019 and, in my (expert) view, is one of the underrated football bookies around.

As a football bettor myself, I find it ticks many boxes. This includes a terrific live-streaming service for fixtures in La Liga, Serie A and Ligue 1. Matches from the national divisions in Denmark, Sweden and Poland are also available if (like me) your love of football goes beyond the top European leagues.

As for betting markets, the list is long and varied. You will find popular over/under, corner and card bets, as well as player-specific markets such as assists, headed goals and shots on goal.

On top of that, Virgin Bet’s Bet Builder comes with pre-selected outcomes that you can save time by simply adding to your betting slip. Free bets are frequent and Virgin Bet Fives, the free-to-play game, sees cash prizes awarded if a chosen player scores in selected matches.

Spreadex is unique in the UK football betting sites marketing in having both a fully featured sportsbook as well as a spread betting platform.

There are fairly competitive odds available in the in-play sportsbook football markets, and the fast markets are a nice feature.

You can also always rely on Spreadex to have one of the better sign up offers on the market, so there's no time like the present to sign up and claim your bonus.

It's a shame that there are now e-wallet deposits or withdrawals but that's a minor criticism of what is otherwise a top-tier football betting site.

It's probably only Ireland's second most famous betting brand after Paddy Power, but the quality of BoyleSports football offering exceeds Paddy's in many aspects.

BoyleSports offers live streaming of various football leagues, up to 100% odds boosts on footy accas, and a great selection of daily specials and enhanced prices. You can place some good value football bets here.

The sign up offer might not be the most generous in the business, but it's super simple to claim. There's also the free-to-play football prediction game Fantasy 5 to keep you busy.

Sky Bet’s status as a top football betting site isn’t really up for debate. Not only is it one of the most recognisable betting brands in the UK, but its offering for football betting has few faults.

Friends of mine are always jumping on the latest Sky Bet odds boosts and claiming free football acca bets via the Sky Bet club. And no Saturday afternoon is complete without trying to win £250,000 by playing Sky Bet’s free Super 6 game.

Its Bet Builder function, BuildABet, is purely for football and includes all the important player, team and competition statistics you need.

To add to that, Sky Bet has an unbelievable range of football markets including cards, corners, and even offering the opportunity to bet on goalkeeper saves - a market we’ve yet to see offered by another bookie.

No football betting site list is complete without Ladbrokes. As far as we’re concerned, it has the whole package.

This includes an array of free football games including 1-2-Free, Halftime Quiz and 5-A-Side and top football promotions such as its football acca insurance and 2UP&WIN. Footie odds boosts are also second to none.

The market selection includes popular bets on cards, corners, shots on target etc. while you can always bank on there being a load of specials only available on Ladbrokes thanks to #GetAPrice markets (the most requested bets by customers on Twitter).

If you enjoy tuning in to see how your bet is doing, Ladbrokes also streams hundreds of games from all the top leagues, including La Liga, Serie A and Harry Kane’s new home, the Bundesliga.

As one of the UK’s newest betting sites, Bzeebet may not have come up on your radar when searching for the top football bookies. But I’m here to tell you that Bzeebet is certainly worth a punt.

A big reason for jumping on the Bzeebet train is the market selection. The Aspire Global powered brand is stacked with bets, offering tremendous variety for games at home and abroad.

There’s a free bet club and acca boosts, while Bzeebet also has an easy-to-use bet builder and a smooth cash-out feature, giving you full control over your wagering.

While you won’t find live streaming, there are plenty of payment options which ensure a hassle-free betting experience.

Whether it be as a high street bookie or an online bookmaker, Coral is synonymous with football betting. Its status as one of the UK’s leading football bookies remains today, almost a century after its founding.

In our mind, Coral’s success is due to its understated approach. There’s nothing particularly fancy about the website, in fact, it’s fair to say you will find better-looking betting websites elsewhere. But that’s the point, Coral is a no-nonsense football bookie with a focus on providing quality promotions and features.

Its Bet Builder tool, for instance (called Build Your Bet) is second to none. It allows you to add a range of player props such as shots on target, total passes, total tackles and even offsides, providing customers with an unmatched variety of player bets.

In addition, Coral’s Football Super Series game is one of the best free-to-play football games, mainly for its simplicity (predict four match stats from the selected games and win free bets or £100 cash). Coral’s offering also features a busy live-streaming schedule that includes matches from La Liga, the Bundesliga and Serie A.
