Best Rugby Betting Sites

BetUK has a great selection of rugby betting markets, with match parlays, margin betting and excellent match event options complementing the classic handicap and result markets.

If you prefer league, then you're still well served with a pick of outrights and match coupons from top domestic leagues and international competitions.

The odds are competitive and the welcome bonus is generous with £30 in free bets on offer - these can be both unlocked and redeemed on rugby wagers.

BetUK could improve its rugby offering with player props and some rugby-specific promotions but, overall, it's a fantastic pick.

Betway has earned its internationally strong reputation by delivering quality - and quality is exactly what Betway delivers for rugby bettors in the UK.

Tryscorer specials, team total tries and 1st half markets are where Betway really provides good options to rugby union punters.

Betway is also a top destination for in-play rugby betting thanks to a great UX, handy mobile apps and in-depth live statistics.

In terms of improvements to Betway's rugby offering, I would really like to see live streaming added to the in-play options and better rugby league coverage.

Grosvenor is a big gambling brand best known for its casinos but it offers more than enough to keep rugby betting fans interested.

Of particular note is the wide selection of outrights available for both domestic competitions and international tournaments.

Grosvenor also does a good job covering both codes, with more rugby league markets available here than at many competitors on our list.

I think the navigation on the Grosvenor Sports site - especially on mobile - could be improved to make betting on rugby here even better than it already is.

If you're looking for a new site to bet on rugby with, I recommend Rhino.bet, which launched for UK punters in 2021.

Unusually for a new site in the market, Rhino.bet has numerous promotions running, including regular specials and enhanced price offers.

The Rhino.bet UX makes finding rugby matches and markets extremely easy - in my opinion it's one of the clearest layouts of any site on this list.

Having said that, matches sometimes don't become available for betting until relatively short before kick-off. For example, it's Wednesday today and the match markets for this Friday's Premiership fixture aren't up yet.

Spreadex used to be the preserve of spread bettors, but it now has a top-tier fixed odds sportsbook with excellent rugby betting options.

Range of markets and matches is something Spreadex beats most other competitors on. For example, at the time I reviewed these sites, Spreadex was one of the few in the top ten that had markets available on upcoming women's rugby matches.

One drawback with Spreadex is that the spread betting element can feel a bit confusing. However, the generous welcome offer provides new rugby punters with free bets to use on both the sportsbook and on spread bets. A perfect opportunity to dip your toes.

Bet365 is my pick of the bunch for in-play rugby betting for the markets available plus the competitive and fast updating live odds.

Keep an eye out for rugby-specific promotions on bet365, too, including early payout offers and Extra Time Extra Chance for selected knockout competition matches.

Pre-match markets are varied, too, and there are some options available here that you won't find elsewhere, like 10 minute betting.

Bet365 has live streaming on a huge range of events, so an obvious improvement to their rugby betting offering would be the availability of live streaming.

Kwiff is a sharp-looking sportsbook but its standout feature is definitely the potentially huge 'kwiffed' odds boosts: Any bet has the potential to be boosted to levels you don't see at other bookies.

The pre-game and in-play stats display is excellent at Kwiff, especially if you are betting via the dedicated Kwiff mobile app on Android or iOS.

The surprise bet welcome offer at Kwiff is an interesting twist on the standard welcome bonus - it might help you discover new rugby betting markets.

One thing I would like to see more off at Kwiff for rugby betting is existing customer promotions. Acca Shield (Kwiff's version of acca insurance) is available, but nothing specific to rugby.

A classic British brand, Betfred should be your go-to online bookie if you want to bet on rugby league - it's the principal sponsor of the Super League.

It has a much better selection of rugby league markets than pretty much all other bookies in this top 10, including great specials.

Rugby union matches are, of course, well covered too at Betfred, which has done much in recent years to try and modernise its site and bring the Betfred brand up to date.

Betfred is one of the best rugby betting sites in the UK for betting offers and promotions, but I think the in-play experience here could be improved.

BoyleSports is the home of extra places special offers and it's also a great bookie to sign up with if you want price boosts on rugby bets.

For elite level clashes, such as Premiership and international matches, you'll find well over 100 different selections open for pre-match betting at BoyleSports.

The BoyleSports mobile app is one of my favourites to use for betting on rugby. The interface is intuitive and transitions between pages are seamless.

A wider variety of player props would push BoyleSports much higher up this list.

Parimatch is a brand with a huge presence in Central and Eastern Europe that has made a great impression on us since its UK launch on the BetVictor platform in 2020.

The rugby league coverage here is on a par with the rugby union options, that is to say that it's much better than at some other top rugby betting sites.

A low minimum deposit requirement to unlock the sign up bonus at Parimatch is a huge advantage for those of you looking to try out a new rugby bookie without breaking the bank.

If you're already signed up to BetVictor or the recently launched talkSPORT BET platform, there's nothing new for you at Parimatch.
