Sports covered
The sportsbook is reached from its own tab in the main lobby and uses the same balance as the casino. Coverage is strongest on the sports UK punters bet on most, with deep markets on the big events.
| Sport | Highlights | Typical markets |
|---|---|---|
| Football | Premier League, Championship, FA Cup, Scottish Premiership, Champions League, internationals | Match result, both teams to score, goalscorers, corners, cards, Asian handicaps |
| Horse racing | Daily UK and Irish cards, Cheltenham Festival, Grand National, Royal Ascot | Win, each-way, forecasts, tricasts, ante-post |
| Tennis | Wimbledon and the other Grand Slams, ATP and WTA tours | Match winner, set betting, games handicap |
| Darts | PDC World Championship, Premier League Darts | Match winner, 180s, checkout markets |
| Cricket | The Ashes, England Tests, The Hundred, T20 leagues | Match result, top batter, runs lines |
| Rugby | Six Nations, Premiership Rugby, Rugby World Cup | Handicaps, winning margin, try scorers |
| Formula 1 | Every Grand Prix including Silverstone | Race winner, podium, head-to-heads |
| Golf | The Open, majors, Ryder Cup | Outright, each-way, top 10 finishes |
| Esports | Major CS2, League of Legends and Dota 2 events | Match and map winner |
Smaller sports such as snooker, boxing, basketball and American football also appear, though with fewer markets than the headline events.
Bet types explained
- Singles — one selection, one stake. The simplest way to bet and the easiest to keep track of.
- Accumulators (accas) — several selections combined into one bet. All legs must win, and the odds multiply together, so the return can be large but the chance of winning drops with every leg you add.
- Bet builder — combine several markets from the same match, such as a team to win plus a player to score, into a single bet. Related outcomes are priced together, so the odds are not simply multiplied.
- Each-way — two bets in one, half on the selection to win and half on it to place. Common in racing and golf; place terms (for example 1/5 odds for the first three places) are shown on the bet slip.
- In-play — bet while the event is live, with odds updating as the game unfolds. Many football matches include live stats and match trackers.
- Cash out — settle a bet early for an offer based on current odds. Cash out can lock in a profit or cut a loss, but the offer usually includes a margin, and it may be suspended during key moments.
Odds formats
UK accounts show fractional odds by default, the format you will see in betting shops and on racecourses. Odds of 5/2 mean you win £5 for every £2 staked, plus your stake back: a £10 bet returns £35. You can switch to decimal odds in your settings if you prefer; the same price shows as 3.50, and a £10 bet returns £35 (stake × decimal odds).
| Fractional | Decimal | £10 bet returns |
|---|---|---|
| 1/2 | 1.50 | £15 |
| Evens (1/1) | 2.00 | £20 |
| 2/1 | 3.00 | £30 |
| 5/1 | 6.00 | £60 |
The qualifying odds for the welcome offer, 1/2 (1.50), sit at the top of this table.
Bet £10, get £20 in free bets
The sportsbook welcome offer for new UK customers works like this:
- Register, verify your identity and choose the sportsbook offer when you make your first deposit of £10 or more.
- Place your first bet of £10 or more at odds of 1/2 (1.50) or bigger.
- When that bet settles, win or lose, you receive two £10 free bets.
- Use the free bets within 7 days on any eligible market.
Key terms to know:
- The free bet stake is not returned with your winnings. A £10 free bet at 2/1 returns £20, not £30.
- Free bet winnings are paid as cash with no wagering.
- Only one welcome offer per person, household, IP address and payment method. You choose either this or the casino welcome bonus, not both.
- The full terms are shown when you opt in; read them before placing the qualifying bet.
The promotions page lists every other offer, and our payments guide covers which deposit methods you can use.

Using the bet slip
Tap any price to add it to your bet slip. With one selection you see a single; add more and the slip offers doubles, trebles and the full accumulator, plus multiples such as Yankees for racing fans. The potential return updates as you type your stake. If odds move before you confirm, the slip flags the change and asks you to accept the new price, and you can set it to accept higher odds automatically. Settled and open bets are listed under My Bets.
Account rules for punters
Sports betting uses the same verified account as the casino, so the same checks apply: age and identity verification before your first bet, debit cards rather than credit cards, and no crypto deposits or withdrawals on UK accounts. Withdrawals follow the same timetable as casino winnings, with e-wallets usually fastest. If a bet is settled in a way you disagree with, use the casino’s internal complaints process first; after that, unresolved disputes can go to IBAS (ibas-uk.com). Our support guide explains how to raise a complaint.
Betting responsibly
Sport can feel like a game of knowledge, and that makes it easy to overestimate your edge. A few habits help keep betting fun:
- Set a weekly deposit limit in your account and stick to it.
- Treat accas as a bit of fun, not a plan — long multi-leg bets lose far more often than they win.
- Do not chase losses with bigger stakes or in-play bets you had not planned.
- Avoid betting on teams you support if it clouds your judgement.
- Use time-outs or GAMSTOP self-exclusion if you need a break.
If betting stops being enjoyable, free and confidential help is available from the National Gambling Helpline on 0808 8020 133, run by GamCare, 24 hours a day. Our responsible gambling page lists more support options.
