Betfair Chase Day: Bet £10 get £45 free bets on Betfair!

Tom Lunn — Fri, 24 Nov 2023 09:11:00 +0000

Haydock racecourse hosts the Grade 1 Betfair Chase on Saturday afternoon in a fantastic meeting.

Betfair are offering new customers £45 in free bets on the racing at Haydock this weekend when you bet £10 on racing!

12.05: Betfair Racing Podcasts Newton Novices’ Hurdle (Grade 2)

It’s not just the Betfair Chase on Saturday either, racing fans are in for a treat to the Grade 2 Novices’ Hurdle as the opener of the day at Haydock.

There’s some promising hurdlers in this with 13 runners still entered into this.

Trainer Fergal O’Brien has Kamsinas in this with a 128 overall rating, who has already placed in Grade 2 novice company.

The gelding won well on hurdling debut in October and just 15 days after came a close second to Lookaway at Cheltenham in the Sky Bet Novices’ Hurdle.

That’s great form too as Lookaway went on to place in handicap company behind Iberico Lord.

12.40: Betting.Betfair.com Handicap Chase

There’s also a high rated handicap chase considering it’s a Class 3.

With prominent chasers set to feature, including Cheddleton, Mackenberg and Pay The Piper.

Cheddleton is also an early contender in the Graduation Chase and there’s certainly more money at stake for a win in the latter race, but is 2m5f instead of 2m.

1.15: Best Odds On The Betfair Exchange Handicap Hurdle (Class 2)

Langer Dan is the top-rated horse in the Class 2 Handicap Hurdle having previously won the Coral Cup at Cheltenham Festival.

He could be opposed though after really struggling on his seasonal debut.

There could be quite a few runners in this which will certainly open up the betting for some each-way plays.

Irish Hill could be on the up after a wind op in August and he reappeared at Kempton on the 13th of this month, and is on a dangerous mark now having potentially needed the run for both the season and to get used to breathing differently since the operation.

1.50: Betfair Exchange Graduation Chase (Class 2)

Grey Dawning is the strong odds-on favourite for the Graduation Chase,

However, the Challenge Cup winner, Gaillard Du Mesnil, trained by Willie Mullins looks superior despite carrying the top weight.

He has the stamina, shown by placing third in the Grand National and of course winning the 2m6f Challenge Cup at Cheltenham Festival.

It’s very interesting to see him go back down in trip for the opening of the season, with entries here and in the Grade 1 2m4f Punchestown Chase on Sunday.

2.20: Betfair ‘Serial Winners’ Stayers’ Handicap Hurdle (Class 1)

The Stayers’ Handicap Hurdle is a tough contest which offers a huge £71k in prize money for the winner.

The Emmet Mullins-trained Slate Lane could still be weighted well having won three in a row, but there’s many each-way chances too while there are still declarations to be made.

However, Crambo, trained by Fergal O’Brien is just about the favourite at 3/1.

He’s now four wins from six runs over hurdles having beaten Santos Blue by over two lengths.

Despite running with a weight of 11-9, he was still far ahead of the majority of the field and any similarly rated rivals, like Kitty’s Light, Lac De Constance and Hourvari.

That suggests he could be on the up this season as he made it a comfortable victory, having already won in Grade 3 company in March at Sandown.

3.00: Betfair Chase (Grade 1)

The big event though is of course the Grade 1 Betfair Chase.

Bravemansgame and Protektorat are the big favourites for the race and it’s the former who is slowly attracting more attention in the market.

Shishkin is an early entrant but he is likely to be heading to Ascot instead for the potentially more suitable 1965 Chase.

Bravemansgame won the King George VI Chase in December and hasn’t won since.

But he has ran with great credit in his last three contests.

The eight-year-old was second on seasonal debut earlier this month but looks as though he bumped into a promising chaser who was only running for his third time over fences.

Ascot betting tips

12.50: The Carpenter & Monviel exacta (NAP – 2pts)

The Carpenter makes his highly anticipated chase start on Friday afternoon and is already fancied ahead of Monviel, Samarrive and Supreme Gift who have small experiences over fences already.

Samarrive really struggled making his chase debut last year – falling before placing third of three at Kempton, by a huge distance and also didn’t impress enough over hurdles in February and April to suggest he can go better here off top-weight.

Monviel should improve and he’s got a nice low weight to run off having placed well behind JPR One, who despite unseated his rider at Cheltenham’s Grade 2 Novice Chase, was upped 11lb by the handicapper.

He steps up from 2m to 2m3f for the first time and that may prompt more improvement.

3.10: Tea Clipper 5/2 (1pt)

Has only won once over fences before but has been in the top contests before that, which can excuse his wide margin finishes.

He’s dropped down 11lb since his sixth place in the Ultima, which wasn’t an awful run by any means in such a tough contest.

The same can be said over 3m4f in the bet365 Gold Cup a month later, where he was eighth but only 19 lengths off of Kitty’s Light.

Though off top-weight he did struggle in handicap company in May.

But that second to the top Stolen Silver was encouraging last month and he should be tough to beat here if running to previous form.

Catterick betting tips

12.40: Union Flag 15/8 (1pt)

Union Flag was a very close third at Cork on his hurdle debut in October and then switched hands from Noel Meade to Donald McCain.

He was quickly sent for his first run for his new trainer and won with plenty in hand in a Class 2 hurdle under Brian Hughes, by six lengths.

He should progress on from that run too, as he still made the odd mistake over hurdles and didn’t look overly focused on the run-in but that suggests he has plenty more on offer and the tongue tie will help with that too.

1.50: Geromino 4/1 (1pt)

Second to Homme Public at Wetherby in October which has worked out incredibly well as the winner went on to secure victory in the Grade 2 Arkle Challenge Trophy Trial at Cheltenham last weekend.

Geromino will need to win this off top-weight but he came close in September behind Cedar Hill doing just that and it still seems that he is yet to put his best performance in having dropped down from a rating of 138 to 131.

Fairyhouse betting tips

12.55: Mister Policeman 4/7 (2pts)

Mister Policeman made his Irish debut and first start for Willie Mullins at Cork in April, as the even money favourite and won nicely by just over two lengths ahead of Cash Back.

Cash Back ran off a mark of 142 and winning that comfortably ahead of that kind of a hurdler bodes quite well for his first start over fences.

It’s another Rich Ricci-owned horse trained by Mullins and ridden by the in-form Paul Townend.

Haydock’s Betfair Chase betting: Top 2023 Betfair Chase odds and tips

Betting Reporter — Thu, 23 Nov 2023 14:46:44 +0000

There is no doubt that the jumps season is now well and truly in full swing, with the first Grade 1 race of the season and one of the biggest races of the year set to take place at Haydock Park on Saturday, the Grade 1 Betfair Chase.

Run over three miles and one and a half furlongs, the Betfair Chase is the opening race of the jumps ‘triple crown’, which is followed by the King George VI Chase at Kempton Park and brought to a close with the biggest prize of all, the Boodles Cheltenham Gold Cup.

Some of the biggest names in jumps racing have won the Betfair Chase since it was established in 2005, including Cheltenham Gold Cup heroes Kauto Star, Imperial Commander and A Plus Tard.

The Dan Skelton-trained Protektorat will be bidding to win back-to-back renewals of the Betfair Chase on Saturday afternoon, but he will have to defeat a top-class field if he is to do it. We’ve taken a look at all of the Betfair Chase odds and Betfair Chase betting offers to give you a head start to this weekend’s big race with this handy guide.

The Betfair Chase is one of the most prestigious chases of the entire season, meaning that a top-quality field is assured for the Grade One contest.

Four runners remained in the contest at Monday’s declarations stage and we have listed the latest Betfair Chase odds below. Please note that some of the jockey bookings have yet to be confirmed at the time of writing and like the odds listed are subject to change.

PROTEKTORART (Harry Skelton) at 2/1 with bet365

CORACH RAMBLER (Derek Fox) at 11/1 with William Hill

Our top Betfair Chase betting tip

The Betfair Chase is the first big test of the season for chasers with aspirations of winning the Cheltenham Gold Cup, with this race around half a furlong shy of the distance of the Cheltenham Festival showpiece next March.

All four runners in the field would have seriously strong claims on their best form and this is likely to be a very tight race. However, we think that last year’s winner will take all the beating.

Back PROTEKTORAT to win at 2/1 with bet365

With Shishkin headed to Ascot on Saturday for the 1965 Chase, this could boil down to a straight scrap between two of the triple crown winners from last season, last year’s Betfair Chase winner Protektorat and the King George hero Bravemansgame.

The latter will almost certainly strip fitter for his effort to finish second in the Charlie Hall at Wetherby earlier this month and will be a huge threat here, but he may have to settle for the runners-up berth once again – with regular partner Harry Cobden opting to head to Ascot.

Protektorat was nothing short of dazzling when winning this first-time out in similar conditions 12 months ago and while he was behind Bravemansgame in the Cheltenham Gold Cup last March, he has shown he’s more than capable of handling attritional conditions.

This is a big plus with heavy ground expected on Saturday and there’s no doubt that Dan Skelton will have his charge ready for this. If he can replicate the form of his win here last year, he is very much the one to beat.

Back Protektorat to win the race at 2/1 with bet365

Who are the most prominent contenders for the 2023 Betfair Chase race?

This year’s renewal of the Grade 1 Betfair Chase looks set to be a cracker, with last year’s winner Protektorat set to lock horns with the King George VI Chase hero and Cheltenham Gold Cup runner-up Bravemansgame. With each of the fire runners having some sort of chance of victory according to the Betfair Chase betting odds, we’ve looked at each of their chances below.

Protektorat, 2/1 with bet365 (Trainer: Dan Skelton, Jockey: Harry Skelton)

A brilliant winner of this race 12 months ago, who is bidding to become the first back-to-back winner of the Betfair Chase since Bristol De Mai in 2017 and 2018.

He was in supreme form here last year, though he didn’t quite reach those levels in two subsequent starts, finishing fifth in the Cheltenham Gold Cup – three places behind the re-opposing Bravemansgame.

This track seems to bring out the best in him however and having proven that he can both handle the forecast heavy ground and run well fresh, he rates as the one to beat for Dan Skelton.

Bet on Protektorat to win the race at 2/1 with bet365

Bravemansgame, 5/6 with Unibet (Trainer: Paul Nicholls, Jockey: Daryl Jacob)

A top-class chaser on his day, winning last season’s King George VI Chase in stunning style at Kempton Park on Boxing Day, defeating the re-opposing Royale Pagaille by 14 lengths.

He backed that up with a fine effort to finish second behind Galopin Des Champs in the Cheltenham Gold Cup and while he could only fill the same position on return in the Charlie Hall Chase at Wetherby earlier this month, he will strip fitter for that excursion.

Regular partner Harry Cobden heads to Ascot, though Daryl Jacob rates as a fine deputy and Bravemansgame is a huge threat with race fitness on his side.

Pick Bravemansgame at 5/6 with Unibet

Royale Pagaille, 9 /1 with 888sport (Trainer: Venetia Williams, Jockey: Charlie Deutsch)

A top-class chaser on his day and a regular in the big races in the staying chase circuit. He was winless in three starts last term but performed with great credit, finishing second in the King George VI Chase at Kempton and a noble sixth in the Cheltenham Gold Cup.

He seems to come alive at this track and has produced his best form here, winning back-to-back renewals of the Grade 2 Peter Marsh Chase with supreme weight-carrying performances. Heavy ground is his forte and he isn’t one to chalk off should the rain continue to fall – though his record first time out is a mixed one.

Choose Royale Pagaille at 9 /1 with 888sport

Corach Rambler, 1 1 /1 with William Hill (Trainer: Lucinda Russell, Jockey: Derek Fox)

A brilliant winner of last year’s Grand National at Aintree, who is getting a well-deserved crack at a Grade 1 contest.

It remains to be seen whether he will be able to break out of handicap company and into this kind of level, but his victories at both Aintree and the Cheltenham Festival last term were bordering on top-class and he’s certainly deserving of his place.

He should arrive here fit after a pipe-opener at Kelso in October and having won on heavy ground in the past, he’s a fascinating contender for Lucinda Russell and Peter Scudamore.

Pick Corach Rambler at 1 1 /1 with William Hill

Which jockey and trainer have been the most successful in the Betfair Chase?

The Betfair Chase is one of the more recent marquee events on the jumps racing calendar, being registered as the Lancashire Chase back in 2005. It has quickly become one of the best chases around however, with some excellent winners since then.

The 14-time champion trainer Paul Nicholls has a fabulous record in the Betfair Chase, winning the race on six occasions. Nicholls’ record six Betfair Chase wins have come courtesy of four victories with the great Kauto Star (who won it in 2006, 2007, 2009 and 2011) and two wins with Silvianaco Conti (in 2012 and 2014).

The most successful Betfair Chase jockey is Ruby Walsh, who now works as a pundit for Racing TV, RTE and ITV Racing. Walsh won the Betfair Chase on four occasions during his career, with those victories coming through Kauto Star (in 2006, 2009 and 2011) and Silvianaco Conti (in 2012).

The Betfair Chase is one of the most prestigious races in the jumps racing calendar. It is the first Grade 1 contest of the jumps season and is run over a distance of three miles and one and a half furlongs.

Which racecourse is the Betfair Chase held on?

The Betfair Chase is traditionally run at the end of November and is held at Haydock Park in Merseyside. Although registered as the Lancashire Chase, the race has been sponsored by Betfair since its inception and has been won by some superstars since its creation in 2005.

Manchester City vs Liverpool predictions

Manchester City and Liverpool have been the two best teams in the Premier League over the last few seasons. And right now, they are the top two in the division once again.

City are one point clear at the summit of the standings ahead of gameweek 13. Liverpool sit second, level on points with Arsenal on third but with a superior goal difference.

Jurgen Klopp must feel slightly hard done by that he has had to compete with Pep Guardiola’s side since 2016.

Liverpool have regularly racked up 90+ points in the Premier League, while they have reached three Champions League finals under Klopp, yet they have still only won one title in this period.

Last season did not go well at Anfield, leading some to ponder whether Klopp had taken the club as far as he could.

Liverpool were already out of the title race in November of last year and they were not even able to finish in the top four.

But a sense of optimism has returned to Anfield over the last few months. It started with some successful work in the summer transfer window, as Liverpool regenerated their midfield with the additions of Dominik Szoboszlai, Wataru Endo, Alexis Mac Allister and Ryan Gravenberch.

And the mood has remained bright given their start to the season. Liverpool have won eight and drawn three of their 12 league games to date. They are still in the EFL Cup and are on the verge of advancing to the knockout stage of the Europa League.

Make no mistake, though: Saturday’s showdown at the Etihad Stadium is their biggest test yet. A positive result against Manchester City would confirm Liverpool’s status as serious title contenders once more.

Manchester City vs Liverpool betting tips

Manchester City’s superb home form should help them get past Liverpool in the first game of the Premier League weekend.

Manchester City to win – 8/11 (10bet)

Manchester City have not had everything their own way so far this season. By their own high standards, they have not been at their very best.

It is a testament to City, then, that they are still top of the Premier League table. Defeats by Arsenal and Wolverhampton Wanderers have been offset by nine victories, more than any other team in the division.

Guardiola’s men have also scored the most goals, while they had conceded the fewest before a 4-4 draw with Chelsea in their last game prior to the international break.

That thrilling encounter at Stamford Bridge showed that City can be got at. Yet it also demonstrated that they remain the team to beat in England’s top flight. Even though they were second-best at times, they were just a few minutes away from emerging with all three points.

In all competitions, City have failed to win four matches in 2023/24 – and all have been away from home. Thrown in the UEFA Super Cup and the Community Shield and City have drawn or lost six times on unfamiliar turf.

On the flip side, Guardiola’s side have won 24 home matches on the bounce in all competitions. We fancy their chances of making it 25 this weekend.

Both teams to score and over 2.5 goals – 8/11 (bet365)

Manchester City are particularly strong in attacking areas when they play in front of their own fans.

During the aforementioned 24-game winning streak at the Etihad, City have scored 79 goals. That works out at an astonishing 3.3 per match.

They are not merely flat-track bullies either. In that time City have put four past Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur, Arsenal, Real Madrid and Liverpool.

Goals should be on the cards in this one, then. They usually are in this fixture. Both teams to score and over 2.5 goals would have paid out in seven of the last eight head-to-head clashes between this pair.

Liverpool will certainly be confident of breaching City’s backline. They possess the deepest pool of attacking quality in the Premier League right now, with Mohamed Salah, Luis Diaz, Cody Gakpo, Diogo Jota and Darwin Nunez competing for just three places in the XI.

Go for both teams to score and over 2.5 goals at 8/11 with bet365

Erling Haaland to score any time – 7/10 (Parimatch)

There was talk a couple of months back that Erling Haaland did not look like his normal self. Such statements look silly now.

The Norway international enjoyed a record-breaking season last time out and he is likely to collect yet more individual accolades in 2023/24.

He sits at the top of the Premier League scoring charts with 13 goals in 12 appearances. Haaland has notched a brace in four of his last five games in all competitions.

The Norway international did not score against Liverpool in the top flight last term, although he missed City’s 4-1 victory in April.

He will be desperate to make his mark against such a famous name and he should get chances to find the net given City’s unrivalled ability to create chances.

Best casino software providers at UK casinos

Types of games every casino software provider makes

There are many different types of games you will encounter at online casinos, and that list is still growing. The following are the most common types of casino software provider games you can find at UK casinos.

Casino games

Casino game is a catch-all phrase for any type of game that is traditionally played on a casino floor. This includes everything from table and card games to craps and other dice-based offerings.

Poker games

Poker is one of the most popular card games in the world, and many developers want a slice of that pie. While some will develop poker software that pits players against one another, there are also a lot of video poker titles on the market that allow players to compete against computers and the house to win prizes.

Lottery games

The lottery is an extremely popular way of betting, and many of the developers we have listed will also offer lottery games to players. These are mostly instant-win-style games, but some casinos may also run lottery-style bonuses and promotions.

Instant-win games

Instant-win games do as they say on the tin; they provide players with the chance to score an instant win. Games like casinos, scratchcards, and bingo are often found in these categories.

Scratch cards

Scratch cards are a type of instant-win game where players scratch at a virtual card to find out whether or not they have won a prize. These are virtual versions of the scratchcards you can find in your local shop and will often have simple but fun themes, with a couple of features thrown in to spice up the action.

Slots

Slots are the most popular types of games you will find at an online casino. These can come in all shapes and sizes, with the classic 5×3 video slot set-up being the most popular. Slots are constantly developing, with mechanics like Megaways, Dream Drops, Link & Win, and more becoming increasingly popular.

Live dealer games

Live dealer games give players the chance to enjoy a more immersive online casino experience from the comfort of their own homes. These use live streams to broadcast casino games directly to the user’s desktop or mobile device. The most common types of live casino games are table and card games like blackjack and roulette, with TV-show-style games like Dream Catcher and Monopoly Live being extremely popular, too.

Table games

Table games are any casino games that take place at a table. Blackjack and roulette are by far the most common of these, with games like baccarat and craps also being extremely popular at top online casinos.

Fishing games

Fishing is one of the most popular sub-genres of slots, with the collection gameplay mechanic being ubiquitous in online slots. Titles like Fishin Frenzy and Big Bass Bonanza are the reasons for this, with the latter inspiring a whole series of spin-offs and sequels.

Jackpot games

Jackpot games are games that have a jackpot win available. There are two types of jackpots: fixed and progressive. Fixed jackpots have a prize that does not change, while progressive jackpots are ones that grow the more people play them and the longer they don’t pay out.

Types of casino software

Download Software: Downloadable casino software is quickly becoming a thing of the past, but you will still find it at some casinos. This is software that needs to be downloaded to allow you to play your favourite online slots and live casino games.
Instant Play Software: Almost all modern casino games are instant play. This means players do not need to download any additional software or applications to play them. All of the slots that have been mentioned in this guide are instant-play titles.
Mobile Software: Mobile gambling has become incredibly popular, with more gamblers spinning the reels on their mobiles than ever before. Developers will use HTML5 technology to ensure all of their slots are mobile-friendly, ensuring players can access their favourite slots on their mobile casinos wherever they are.
Live Casino Software: Live casino provides players with a more immersive gameplay experience. Providers like Evolution specialise in this, offering games like Live Roulette, Live Baccarat, and much more. In recent years, we have also seen the emergence of live TV-show and money-wheel-type games, as well as live versions of slots like Gonzo’s Quest.

How does online casino software work?

Online casino games typically rely on a random number generator to ensure fairness. These are algorithms that ensure each spin of a reel or turn of a card is completely random and that neither the operator nor the player can have any impact on the outcome.

In the UK, all casino software must be approved by the United Kingdom Gambling Commission. Many casinos take the extra step of getting their games and software approved by third parties such as eCogra.

Why pay attention to online casino software?

Casino software has a huge impact on your online playing experience. Not only does it impact the kind of games you will play, but it will also impact the loading speeds and availability of content. Different software and technology may not also be optimised or supported on different devices, which can be a pain if you want different gaming options.

Does casino software have any impact on payout times?

No. The casino impacts payout times and how long they take to process payments. The top online casinos will offer fast withdrawal options for players, with payments being processed almost instantly. The games and software themselves have zero impact on this.

Is there a best slots developer?

The answer to this is going to come down to personal preference. Some players prefer more established old-school developers like NetEnt or Play’n GO, while others like more dynamic and edgy modern providers like Nolimit City or Hacksaw Gaming.

Do casino software providers deliver games in free demo modes as well?

Yes. All developers will also develop free-to-play versions of all of their best games. These can be an excellent way to try out games before you play for real money. As per UKGC regulations, players in the UK will need to verify their age and identity before they can access any online casino demos for free.

On this page, we will deliver the best Black Friday casino sites, including the promotions to look out for. So, if you are looking for a boost at the end of the month, be sure to keep reading.

When to look for Black Friday 2023 offers

Black Friday traditionally takes place on the fourth Friday in November, which is the day after Thanksgiving for those who celebrate this holiday.

This year, promotions will be introduced on Friday, 24th November. Many will run for the entire weekend, until “Cyber Monday” takes over. Check out the specific bonus terms and conditions on Black Friday casinos to make sure that you do not miss out.

Best casinos for Black Friday bonuses in the UK

Black Friday casino bonuses vs standard promotions

Black Friday casino bonuses often differ from standard promotions. The bonus amount or number of free spins will often be greater than normal. However, the Black Friday deal will likely be around for a smaller amount of time, whether it be 24 hours or over a weekend.

While T&Cs still surround Black Friday casino bonuses, the wagering requirements may be lower. This makes profiting from the promo more realistic.

Black Friday bonuses at online casinos in the UK

As we have already mentioned, players can look forward to claiming a variety of casino bonuses on Black Friday. Below, we take a look at some of the most common bonus types available at our top-rated Black Friday casinos:

Black Friday signup offers – Welcome bonuses

Most Black Friday casino bonuses target new players. The most common form of welcome bonus is a deposit bonus. For example, 100% up to £100. Some welcome bonuses include free spins too. T&Cs here are likely to include wagering requirements, expiration, eligible games and payment restrictions.

Black Friday cashback bonuses

Cashback bonuses are increasingly common. As such, you may well be able to earn a proportion of your losses back on Black Friday. For example, 10% cashback on your net losses over 24 hours. In some cases, your refund will be processed using bonus funds.

Black Friday reload bonuses

For existing players, reload bonuses are likely to appeal. With this type of promotion, you will earn a bonus after adding funds to your account. For example, a 50% reload bonus on Black Friday.

Black Friday no deposit bonuses

While being difficult to find, a no deposit bonus is well worth taking advantage of on Black Friday. As the name suggests, no financial investment is needed. Instead, you will earn a reward simply for signing up for the first time.

Black Friday jackpots

You can even find larger jackpots on Black Friday. You can therefore potentially win big from just a single spin or bet.

Black Friday VIP deals

Many online casinos now feature VIP/loyalty programs. This is a method used by operators to reward players who regularly deposit money and place bets. Additional rewards could well be introduced on Black Friday. Free spins, faster withdrawals, personal account managers and more could be up for grabs.

Why play casino games on Black Friday?

Playing casino games online on Black Friday can be particularly rewarding. Of course, you are in with a chance of winning the jackpot as normal. However, you can also potentially unlock a series of rewards. An increasing number of casinos are offering deposit bonuses, free spins, reload bonuses and other promos on this day.

How to get Black Friday casino offers

Most Black Friday casino offers are reserved for new members. As such, you will need to register an account in order to qualify. The following step-by-step guide explains how to get your hands on a casino bonus this Black Friday:

Enter the website of your chosen Black Friday casino.
Select the “Join” or “Register” button.
Complete the registration form by entering the required personal details.
Enter a promo code if necessary.
Login to your new account.
Access the cashier page and select your preferred payment method.
Meet the minimum deposit amount when adding funds to your account.
Once funds have cleared, your bonus will be awarded.
Meet the wagering requirements of the bonus by placing bets on eligible games.

Do you have to use the Black Friday bonus on Black Friday?

This really depends on the type of bonus. Claiming a bonus on Black Friday does not necessarily mean that you have to use your funds or free spins on the same day. You will need to check the terms and conditions to make sure.

Free spins are often available for a shorter period of time, whether it be 24 hours or 3 days. Bonus funds will be eligible for longer, giving you more time to meet the wagering requirements.

What casino has the best Black Friday offer?

With Black Friday deals having not yet been introduced by online casinos in the UK, it is impossible to give our favourite. However, the casinos that feature on this page are well-known for their promotions and are likely to get in on the fun for Black Friday 2023.

NFL Week 12 – NFL odds, betting picks, and best betting offers

Betting Reporter — Thu, 23 Nov 2023 13:21:16 +0000

The home stretch of the NFL season has arrived with plenty of storylines surrounding the league.

One of the most highly anticipated matchups of the season took place as the Philadelphia Eagles got their revenge in a Super Bowl rematch by taking down the Chiefs 21-17 on Monday Night Football.

The Eagles held the Chiefs scoreless in the second half and came from down 10 points to move to 9-1 on the season which remains the best record in the NFL.

Joshua Dobbs continues to show impressive flashes but was unable to lead the Vikings past the Broncos on Sunday Night Football. Russell Wilson and company squeezed past Dobbs and the Vikings in a 21-20 victory to move to 5-5 on the year and firmly in the playoff hunt.

Zach Wilson also has officially been benched as the Jets were blown out 32-6 by the Buffalo Bills. The pipedreams of Aaron Rodgers returning to help this team in the postseason are dimming and former Connecticut QB Tim Boyle will now attempt to right the ship.

Joe Burrow saw the end of his season come early after suffering a torn ligament in his throwing wrist on Thursday Night Football. Baltimore cruised to a 34-20 victory over Cincinnati, but the loss of Burrow is far more concerning moving forward.

With 16 teams across the NFL sitting with a .500 record or within one game of it, these final few weeks will dictate the overall playoff picture. There are no bye weeks in Week 12 and three Thanksgiving Day matchups to kick things off so a loaded slate of NFL games will help decide this. Here is a look at some of the best value on the betting slate for Week 12.

Best NFL promos for Week 12

DraftKings – Get $150 instant bonus + daily no sweat bets
BetMGM – Get up to $1500 back using the promo code GIG10
BetRivers – Code GIGMEDIA for a $500 second chance bet

Quick NFL picks for Week 12

Miami Dolphins vs. New York Jets: Dolphins -10 (-108) at DraftKings
Denver Broncos vs. Cleveland Browns: Broncos -1.5 (-109) at BetRivers
Baltimore Ravens vs Los Angeles Chargers- Under 48.5 points (-110) at BetMGM

NFL Week 10 – NFL odds & betting tips

Miami Dolphins vs. New York Jets: Dolphins -10 (-108) at DraftKings

The Miami Dolphins have been unable to beat a good team this season bringing on doubts about their playoff outlook. Luckily, the New York Jets are not a good team, and this is a terrific bounce-back spot for the Fins.

This will be the NFL’s first-ever Black Friday game and will be kicking off at 3:00 PM EST. Miami is coming off a 20-13 victory over the Raiders which pushed them to 7-3 on the year. While it was not the blowout victory that the Dolphins have been known to produce, the Raiders deserve credit for playing with a newfound spark since the coaching change.

It should be noted that both De’Von Achane and Salvon Ahmed both suffered injuries last week but neither have been ruled out for Friday and Raheem Mostert is more than capable of handling additional carries. This also does not impact the offensive firepower brought on by Tua Tagovailoa, Tyreek Hill, Jaylen Waddle, and the rest of the passing game.

There is far less optimism on the Jets side of things. The Zach Wilson experience finally hit rock bottom as he threw for just 81 yards on 7-15 passing with a touchdown and an interception last week. While it is clear he is not the answer, there should not be much more optimism for Tim Boyle.

The former UConn and Eastern Kentucky quarterback went undrafted in 2018 and has played in 18 games throughout his time with the Packers, Lions, Bears, and now the Jets. He has thrown for three touchdowns and nine interceptions across his 120 pass attempts at the NFL level.

After stepping in for Wilson against the Bills, Boyle completed seven of his 14 passes for just 33 total yards. It also should be noted that during his time in college, he threw far more interceptions than touchdowns. During his three years at UConn, he had just one passing touchdown and 13 interceptions. In his final season which he spent after transferring to Eastern Kentucky, Boyle had 11 passing touchdowns to his 13 interceptions.

Expect the Dolphins to come in with a chip on their shoulder looking to prove they should be regarded as a legitimate AFC contender. There is no reason for them not to be considering how wide-open the AFC is, and this is a great opportunity for them to pour on points. Miami continues to lead the NFL in scoring at 30.5 points per game and is in the top five in yards, first downs, net yards per attempt, and score percentage.

There is no reason to have optimism about the Jets putting up anywhere near this type of production considering they have produced just 15.0 points per game this season which is 30^th in the league. Tim Boyle did not look sharp in his opportunity last week, but it is tough to put full blame on him.

He will be judged much more in the upcoming week, but it is difficult to feel confident he has the ability the team needs. The bottom line is the stage is set for the Dolphins to pour on some points and cruise to a blowout victory. Expect them to secure a win by at least a two-touchdown margin and don’t be surprised if this game gets fully out of control and enters blowout territory. You can wager on this at -108 odds on DraftKings Sportsbook.

Denver Broncos vs. Cleveland Browns: Broncos -1.5 (-109) at BetRivers

Both these teams have reasons to be optimistic heading into this matchup. Both are coming off narrow victories by a combined margin of four points with each beginning to find their identity as a defensive-minded team.

Cleveland managed to squeeze by the Steelers in a 13-10 victory in which Dorian Thompson-Robinson showed some signs of life under center. The 5th-round pick is not a guy who can win a game on his own, but he made mostly smart decisions and did enough to give the team a chance. With a defense that is holding opponents to just 18.0 points per game, which is the 6^th-best rate, and the fewest yards per game- this is all DTR has to do.

The Browns’ defense also ranks first in passing yards allowed, second in net yards per pass attempt, and leads the NFL with the fewest 1^st downs allowed.

For Denver, they have turned their season around after a disastrous 1-5 start to the year. They have now won their past four games over the Packers, Chiefs, Bills, and Vikings to climb to 5-5 on the season. While their defensive numbers are still inflated due to the 70 points and 726 yards allowed to the Dolphins in Week 3, this loss caused the team to take a hard look in the mirror to make some changes and the results have followed. Defensive Coordinator Vance Joseph has played more zone defense, managed to generate more pressure, and has left more coverage personnel on the field.

The team has had much more success holding the Chiefs to just 9 points and not allowing more than 22 points in a game during the winning streak. Over the past three games the Broncos also forced 12 interceptions. Russell Wilson has begun to look more like the player they thought they were trading for and is leading the NFL in game-winning drives with four on the season. While he still is not quite the Pro Bowl talent he once was, he has thrown just four interceptions on the year which is a massive improvement from the 11 he had last year.

While the Browns deserve credit for their 7-3 record and dominant defense, the Broncos have more top-end talent and are playing their best football. Confidence is growing within the building and there are still levels this football team can grow in which they have not achieved yet.

Expect this momentum to continue into this matchup and for them to secure another victory over the Browns. The turnover-hungry Denver defense will cause some issues for the inexperienced play of Dorian Thompson-Robinson which could be the difference in the matchup.

DTR still has questions about his ability to make big-time throws and has four interceptions without throwing a touchdown so far this year. Ride with Broncos country as they continue to right the ship and Denver further cements their playoff outlook. You can wager on this on BetRivers Sportsbook at -109 odds.

Bet on Broncos -1.5 at -109 with BetRivers

Baltimore Ravens vs Los Angeles Chargers- Under 48.5 points (-110) at BetMGM

With the AFC playoff race wide open, this is a pair of teams that should each be looking to make a statement.

Baltimore is riding high with an 8-3 record and coming off a Thursday Night Victory over the Cincinnati Bengals which flew under the radar due to the Joe Burrow injury.

The Ravens received some tough injury news of their own as TE Mark Andrews suffered an ankle injury that is likely to end his season. This is a huge hit to Baltimore’s offense as Andrews leads the Ravens in touchdowns, first downs, and is second in both receptions and yards.

Lamar Jackson also had to go into the injury tent for a while and seemed bothered by an ankle injury. While he is not expected to miss any time, this is something to monitor moving forward.

On the season, Baltimore is averaging 27.6 points per game which is the 4^th best rate in the league. However, they are still a defensive-minded team holding opponents to just 16.1 points per game which is the second-best rate in the league. They also are third in yards allowed, first in net yards per pass attempt allowed, and fourth in first downs allowed.

The Chargers have been one of the biggest disappointments of this NFL season. They enter Week 12 with a 4-6 record and on a two-game losing streak to the Packers and Lions. While Justin Herbert has still impressed, throwing for 2609 yards, 19 touchdowns, and five interceptions, he has now fallen below .500 for his career record.

Herbert has been let down by the defensive side of the ball as the Chargers rank 23^rd in points allowed, 31^st in yards allowed, and dead last in first downs allowed. They have needed to outscore opponents to get in the win column and have not been able to do so. This is especially concerning considering the Ravens’ defense may be the best that Herbert has faced this season.

Expect both teams to struggle to score the ball and for this matchup not to live up to the hype most are expecting. While Lamar Jackson and Justin Herbert will make the headlines, the defenses will play the larger role in deciding who will get the victory.

The Ravens offense is going to take some time to adjust to the loss of Mark Andrews and if Lamar Jackson looks as labored as he did last week, their offense will be much less dynamic. It also should be expected that the Ravens’ defense causes some issues for Herbert and the rest of the Chargers’ offense as well.

Count on there being some sloppy football in which neither team fully hits its stride. While it is a must-win matchup for Los Angeles, stay away from a side and look toward the under in this game. Don’t expect either side to eclipse 25 points and for the final score to end around 23-17. You can wager on this at BetMGM Sportsbook at -110 odds.

College football betting picks: NCAAF week 13 rundown and odds

Betting Reporter — Thu, 23 Nov 2023 13:15:19 +0000

With the college football schedule coming toward a close each team has its sights set on extending their season and qualifying for the best possible bowl game.

One of the biggest factors to consider here is the FBS qualifications that every team must win at least six games and have a record above .500 to be bowl-eligible. While the race to make the College Football Playoffs dominates most of the headlines, there are plenty of teams with their backs against the wall in pursuit of the other 41 bowl games.

As the current situation sits there are 130 teams eligible to play in the postseason with 68 of them having at least six wins already. 39 programs cannot reach six wins and 23 teams can reach this total and have the potential to qualify for a bowl. It also should be noted there has been a significant change in the College Football Playoff outlook.

After Washington secured an impressive 22-20 upset victory on the road against Oregon State, the Huskies have jumped to 4^th in the rankings. Florida State dropped to 5^th following their 58-13 victory over North Alabama, but their title hopes have decreased significantly due to the gruesome leg injury to QB Jordan Travis which put an unfortunate end to his college career.

There also is a can’t-miss matchup between 2^nd-ranked Ohio State and 3^rd-ranked Michigan which has the potential to be one of the most-watched games of all time considering all the off-field storylines and overall rivalry between the programs. With several important games for a variety of teams here is a look at the best value on the college football betting board for the Week 13 slate.

NCAAF weekly predictions

With several cross-state rivalries taking place, it is set to be a spirited week of college football. 23 games have the potential to close the door on teams’ bowl goals bringing immense pressure for plenty of programs. Most notably, Nebraska (5-6) will take on Iowa, Syracuse (5-6) will face Wake Forest, Florida (5-6) will play Florida State, and South Carolina (5-6) will kick off against Clemson. The season-ending injury to Jordan Travis changed the college football playoff landscape in a major way.

Florida State looked to have the inside track to the postseason with their 11-0 record and impressive overall resume. Travis remained a dark horse in the Heisman Trophy race with his 27 total touchdowns, 2756 passing yards, and just two interceptions on the season. He has been the engine of the Florida State offense for the past few years, and this is an unfortunate end to his impressive collegiate career. This also is the caliber of injury that will have an impact on the rest of the college football landscape as Tate Rodemaker will step in and attempt to keep the Seminoles’ goals alive.

Following the injury to Jordan Travis, Florida State has dropped to +2800 odds to win the National Championship after sitting at +950 odds last week. Georgia has overtaken Michigan as the favorite at +240 odds with the Wolverines right behind them at +260. Ohio State has the third-best odds at +550 although the results of this week’s matchup against Michigan are sure to shift the odds one way or another. Oregon at +600 and Alabama at +700 also remain in the mix.

The Heisman Trophy race has also seen a switch-up as Jayden Daniels has climbed to the favorite for the first time all season. The LSU quarterback sits at -115 odds on DraftKings Sportsbook with Oregon QB Bo Nix right behind him at +130 odds. Michael Pennix Jr holds the third-best odds at +600 with Marvin Harrison Jr significantly behind at +4000 odds and no one else in the vicinity. Even still, things can change so quickly in college football and the results of this week can turn expectations completely around. Here is a look at what to expect from more of the intriguing Week 13 matchups from the betting perspective

Week 13 picks for the NCCAF

Week 13 college football betting picks

With plenty on the line this week, here is a look at the best value on the betting slate and a breakdown of each matchup.

Texas vs. Texas Tech: Texas -12.5 outcome (-136) with BetRivers

Date and time: Friday, November 24th, 7:30 PM EST
Location: Austin, Texas (University of Texas)
TV/Stream: CBS

Texas will face off with their cross-state rival in their final Big 12 regular season contest before they leap to the SEC next season. The Longhorns enter with a 10-1 record on the season with their only loss coming at the hands of Oklahoma. However, they still need to win this game to guarantee their spot in the conference championship and keep their playoff hopes alive.

They have not been as consistent the past few weeks although some of this has been due to injuries as quarterback Quinn Ewers has missed time with an AC joint sprain and running back Jonathan Brooks is out for the year. Ewers is back in action now and on the season has completed 70.3% of his passes for 2513 yards and 16 touchdowns with just four interceptions. As a team, Texas ranks 29^th in the country in scoring at 33.1 points per game and are holding opponents to just 18.2 points per game which is the 16^th-best rate.

Don’t expect Texas Tech to roll over as they are playing their best football at the right time. After starting the year at 1-3, they have climbed to 6-5 and won their last three games. These six wins mean they are eligible for a bowl matchup even if the process to get there has not been pretty. Texas Tech is led by quarterback Behren Morton who has looked good in stretches this year but has yet to face a defense the caliber of Texas.

Morton’s last matchup against a ranked team was two weeks ago against Kansas when he passed for just 176 yards and an interception. He was held without a touchdown pass in that game. He has struggled when blitzed this year, completing less than 43% of his passes under pressure, which is concerning considering Texas will likely be the most intimidating defensive line he has faced. On the season, Texas Tech ranks 60^th in the country in scoring at 28.6 points per game and are allowing 24.3 points per game which ranks 58^th.

While the rivalry will be felt in this matchup, expect Texas to have the upper hand when push comes to shove. They still have plenty to play for on the season and will also have some revenge on their mind as the Red Raiders secured a 37-34 victory last year. It should be noted that the Longhorns produced a convincing victory with a margin of over 25 points in the two prior meetings.

Expect the defense to make the biggest difference with Texas’ defensive front to wreak havoc on the Texas Tech offensive line and prevent Behren Morton from finding his stride. The Longhorns will attempt to produce another convincing victory to further strengthen their resume. Expect them to get the win by at least two touchdowns and for them to cruise past this 12.5-point spread. Don’t be surprised if this number moves up slightly ahead of kickoff and it is something worth taking up to 14 points. You can currently wager on this at BetRivers to get the -12.5 spread at -136 odds.

Bet on Texas with a -12.5 outcome at -136 with BetRivers

Boise State vs. Air Force: Boise State -7 outcome (-110) at BetMGM

Date and time: Friday, November 24th, 4:00 PM EST
Location: Boise, Idaho
TV/Stream: FS1

Clemson has been one of the biggest disappointments in college football this season, sitting at 6-4 and completely out of the Top 25 rankings. However, they enter this game as 7.5-point favorites making it the first time in the 2023 season that the North Carolina Tar Heels are underdogs.

While this is unfamiliar territory for the team, they were 4-1 against the spread as underdogs in 2022 and have the pieces in place for a strong performance here. They are led by QB Drake Maye who has not received the proper buzz amid all the strong quarterback play this year.

The future NFL first-round pick has completed 65.8% of his pass attempts for 3145 yards and 21 touchdowns while throwing just six interceptions. Maye has also been the driving force behind why the UNC offense ranks 8th in scoring, 3rd in yards per game, and has a 92.2% red zone success rate.

On the other side, Clemson has played their best football of late which leaves some room for optimism for them. The Tigers most recently defeated Georgia Tech 42-21 and took down Notre Dame 31-23 the week prior.

Cade Klubnik is coming off an impressive performance in which he threw for 205 yards and four touchdowns during the victory. Clemson also has an impressive backfield duo of Will Shipley and Phil Mafah who have collectively run for 1313 yards on the ground and 12 touchdowns this season.

As a team, Clemson ranks 46th in the country in scoring at 30.3 points per game and is allowing 21.2 points per game which is the 41st-best rate. They have struggled to keep the ball this season with their 18 total turnovers ranking 107th in the country. Clemson also has been known for their red zone defense in years past but sits at 67th in the rankings for this area of the field this season.

While Clemson is playing their best football of late, North Carolina is still the better team and the 7-point spread feels far too large. The Tar Heels have the 3rd best turnover margin among FBS teams and have only turned the ball over 8 times in 10 games.

It would take North Carolina opening the door for Clemson to capitalize if they have not proven to make these types of mistakes this season. Expect Drake Maye to lead the way and for UNC to have a real chance at the outright victory. The 7-point spread is far too large of a margin so jump on North Carolina to cover this figure and don’t be surprised if there is an outright upset. You can take this 7-point spread at -110 odds on BetRivers.

Bet on Boise State at -110 with BetMGM

#2 Ohio State vs. #3 Michigan: Under 46 outcome (-112) at DraftKings

Date and time: Saturday, November 25th, 12:00 PM EST
Location: Ann Arbor, Michigan
TV/Stream: Fox

The most highly anticipated matchup of the week will be taking place in Ann Arbor. This pair of 11-0 teams will be squaring off with the rivalry feeling at the height of its hatred. This is the first time in five years that Michigan is the favorite as Ohio State enters as a 3.5-point underdog.

It should be noted that Michigan has won the last two matchups between these opponents. This is sure to be a matchup viewed under a microscope with each side having National Title hopes. Jim Harbaugh remains away from the sideline due to the in-person scouting operation that led to a three-game Big Ten suspension.

While you can argue over whether the suspension will add fuel to the fire and make the team band together or not, Harbaugh’s suspension has been felt on the offensive side of the ball. The Wolverines have already tended to play more conservatively in bigger games and this has been the case without Harbaugh on the sideline. Against Penn State, J.J. McCarthy attempted just eight pass attempts for 60 yards and without a touchdown.

While the game opened up slightly last week against Maryland, McCarthy completed just 12 of his 23 pass attempts for 141 yards and an interception. In addition to Michigan’s offensive line being weaker than in past years, Ohio State is also holding opponents to the fewest passing yards per game of any FBS team. With plenty of weapons on the offensive side of the ball for Ohio State, expect Michigan to look to control the clock and not get overzealous in their play call. While McCarthy punished the Ohio State defense last year and has looked even more improved as a passer, expect Michigan to keep the game plan simplified in this matchup.

There are plenty of reasons to be optimistic about Ohio State in this matchup. For starters, Michigan has not looked impressive against either Penn State or Maryland the past two weeks while Ohio State has outscored opponents 75-6 the past two weeks. The Buckeyes have improved consistently throughout the season and will have the best player on the field in Marvin Harrison Jr. Michigan’s defense has impressed this season, ranking 2^nd in EPA per play and 10^th in Early Down EPA, but Harrison Jr will provide a unique challenge. Both of these teams have been incredibly efficient against bad teams this year but have shown some points of weakness against tougher opponents.

The winner of this game can pencil their name into the college football playoffs so there are some major stakes on the line. Expect both teams to struggle to move the ball and for this to remain a tight game throughout. Stay away from a side and take the under as each of these defenses will make their impact felt.

This game feels destined to finish in the vicinity of 20-17 as both teams make a conscious effort not to lose the game. Whichever team is able to break through for a few big plays will make the difference but take advantage of the conservative approach and hammer the under. You can wager on the under of 46 at DraftKings Sportsbook at -112 odds.

Man City vs Liverpool tips, free bets and odds on Bet365

Tom Lunn — Thu, 23 Nov 2023 12:16:00 +0000

Manchester City host Liverpool in the biggest game of the weekend in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon’s early kick-off.

Manchester City vs Liverpool odds

Man City are just 13/20 to win against Liverpool as the bookies are taking no chances with the Citizens extending their lead at the top of the table.

The Reds come into this away from home at 16/5 to win and 3/1 to get what would be a huge point for a draw.

Manchester City vs Liverpool preview

The biggest talking point of this game has become the injury to Erling Haaland and whether or not he’ll be back in time to face Liverpool after picking up an ankle issue on international duty.

The injury is not thought to be severe and should be back soon but it may not be in time for this huge Premier League tie.

But they still have plenty of firepower available and are likely to adopt a different formation that revolves around Julian Alvarez in the centre forward role.

Allowing Jeremy Doku and any number of other players able to play on the wing ahead of players who can play in a three of midfield like Rodri, Phil Foden and like against Chelsea, Manuel Akanji who adopted a deeplying centre defensive midfield position while dropping back to centre-back when defending.

Liverpool won 3-0 over Brentford in their last Premier League fixture, after a couple of poor results; a 1-1 draw with Luton Town and a 3-2 Europa League loss to Toulouse.

But Jurgen Klopp opted to do a big rotation in the squad for that European clash, keeping the likes of Dominik Szoboszlai, Darwin Nunez, Mohamed Salah, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Diogo Jota on the bench.

They will all be set to star in the starting XI against Man City though as they have a huge chance of gaining three points from the league leaders and reigning champs.

Manchester City vs Liverpool betting tips

Over 2 goals, BTTS, Szoboszlai to assist, Alvarez to score – 14/1

There’s been over 2.5 goals in each of Man City’s previous six games in all competitions, including a 4-4 draw with Chelsea and a 6-1 victory over Bournemouth.

City’s 6-1 win came with Haaland up top but who somehow didn’t add a goal of his own despite his goals per game average.

But it shows they still won’t be starved of goals without their top scorer.

Szoboszlai shouldn’t be underestimated against City and will likely thrive in this kind of a match and coupled with his pace and ability in the centre of the pitch he should provide an assist in what should be another game with a few goals about.

Alvarez would be many team’s first choice striker and despite having Haaland, Pep Guardiola has made sure to keep the Argentinian in the starting lineup alongside the Norwegian due to his goal scoring ability.

The World Cup winner scored four in the 2022 tournament and has already scored four and assisted four in the league alone for City this season in just 12 appearances.

Along with three goals in three Champions League appearances, he looks a constant threat in front of goal and should be fed a few chances against the Reds who have struggled to stop opposition scoring as many as they have previously.

Fulham vs Wolves tips, free bets and preview on Betfair

Tom Lunn — Thu, 23 Nov 2023 11:30:00 +0000

Fulham host Wolverhampton Wanderers in the Premier League on Monday night football.

Fulham vs Wolves odds

Fulham are 13/10 to beat Wolves while the away side are just 2/1, with both teams separated by just three points.

A draw however, is out at 9/4 as this clash is as open as it can be with Fulham needing results to keep themselves out of the bottom five teams.

Fulham vs Wolves preview

Fulham have seemingly struggled this season and have only picked up a single point in their last four league matches.

In that time they’ve lost three times to Aston Villa, Man United and Tottenham, but did manage a 1-1 draw with Brighton who went on a run of drawing plenty of matches recently.

Fulham’s only win since the start of October came against Sheffield United, who have only won once all season.

Wolves however, have won twice in their last four games, but also drawn and lost one apiece.

Fulham vs Wolves betting tips

Both teams to score and Wolves to win – 4.61/1

While Fulham have been struggling to score Wolves are constantly seeing both teams to score.

In every game since their clash with Crystal Palace which ended 3-2, they’ve had BTTS in all ten of their last meetings in all competitions, including the EFL Cup third round against Ipswich.

Wolves suffered a 2-1 loss to Sheffield United which was always going to be an unexpected result, but the Blades left it late to secure their first three points.

But then they went up against Tottenham who had done really well to prevent teams winning against them, and beat them 2-1 themselves, albeit with a few injuries and suspensions.

Wolves have also put up top performances to beat Man City, draw against teams like Aston Villa and Newcastle who are all vying for prominent positions at the top of the table.

So they look like they can take this game comfortably if they are in that form, but are often quite unpredictable.

Nottingham Forest vs Brighton betting tips, free bets and odds on BetMGM

Tom Lunn — Thu, 23 Nov 2023 11:08:00 +0000

Nottingham Forest host Brighton in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon.

Nottingham Forest vs Brighton odds

Nottingham Forest are 11/5 to beat Brighton while the Seagulls are a great 5/4 price considering their form. A draw on BetMGM is out at 27/10 which has been the result twice in the last eight meetings.

BetMGM: Bet £10 Get £40 In Free Bets – CLAIM HERE*

Nottingham Forest vs Brighton preview

Despite Brighton’s rise up in the Premier League of late, they don’t have a very good record against Forest.

Their two fixtures last season saw them see out a 0-0 draw in October 2022 and a 3-1 Forest victory in April of this year.

The last game they played in the Championship, in March 2017, also ended in favour of Forest who played at home, ending in a 3-0 win.

But Brighton can turn that around this time out as they have gone on a surprise winless streak, but four of the five meetings has ended in a scoring draw.

Even against Liverpool, Fulham, Everton and Sheffield United, all of which sandwiching two 2-0 victories against Ajax in the Europa League.

They’ll be coming here in eighth position and though they could be higher with surprise draws against Sheffield United and Fulham for instance, they have a golden opportunity to get their first win against Forest since 2016.

Nottingham Forest vs Brighton betting tips

BTTS, Brighton to win, over 3.5 goals – 5/1

Brighton’s recent poorer record against Forest only really looks worse than it actually is as it spans five years with just three games.

Nottingham Forest have drawn twice, won one and lost another two in their last five Premier League fixtures.

Brighton will likely be back to their usual selves this time around, with plenty of goals expected in every game they now play.

They’ve scored 25 so far this season but conceded 21, which tracks from last season’s form, but they need to start defending more prominently again.

Last season they scored 72 and conceded 53 in their 38 Premier League games and it seems they could be replicating that again this season with a plethora of goal draws and big scorelines when they do win.

There score has been 3-1 to either side in four games already this season in the Premier League alone, along with two 4-1 victories, which suggests there should be a few against Forest who have conceded 18 so far.

Man City vs Liverpool odds: Get City at 40/1 or Liverpool at 50/1 with Parimatch

Tom Lunn — Wed, 22 Nov 2023 16:51:49 +0000

Man City host Liverpool in the Premier League this weekend for a huge clash on Saturday afternoon.

And as a new customer on Parimatch, you can get paid out a huge 40/1 on Man City to win or 50/1 on Liverpool!

parimatchGet boosted odds on Manchester vs Liverpool to win in the Premier League this weekend![/caption]

PARIMATCH: Pick Your Winner: Man City at 40/1 OR 50/1 on Liverpool – CLAIM HERE*

Previous head-to-head results:

Man City 4-1 Liverpool – Premier League, April 1st 2023
Man City 3-2 Liverpool – League Cup, December 22nd 2022
Liverpool 1-0 Man City – Premier League, October 16th 2022
Liverpool 3-1 Man City – Community Shield, July 30th 2022

There seems to be a home advantage, at least in the league for Man City, though they haven’t won consecutive games in the league against Liverpool since 1937 which is a crazy standing record.

Especially considering their prominence over the last few years in the Premier League.

Liverpool do well at getting the go-ahead goal in fact they’ve scored the first in four of their last six encounters in all competitions.

But their latest was in this fixture last season and ended up in a 4-1 loss after Mohamed Salah put them 1-0 up in the first 17 minutes.

The big thing will be if Erling Haaland is fit enough to play after sustaining an ankle injury last week on international duty with Norway.

He’s only scored once against Liverpool for Man City in three appearances, which came in the EFL Cup last season, in December.

Best Pay by Mobile casino in 2023: Top 10 deposit by phone casinos in the UK

Betting Reporter — Wed, 22 Nov 2023 13:30:00 +0000

The online casino industry is constantly evolving and finding new ways to help makes the experience easier for players.

One popular development has been the rise of pay-by-mobile banking options. These allow players to top up their gambling accounts via mobile phones by using either phone credit or adding deposits to their phone bill.

In this guide to the best pay-by-phone casinos in the UK, we take a look at the pros and cons of this method, as well as how and where to best use it.

What to look out for with UK casinos with phone bill payments

We’ve put together a handy checklist of things to look out for before signing up to use a pay-by-mobile casino.

Range of games: For a lot of players, the range of slots and games on offer at an online casino is their top priority. All of the casinos we have recommended work with some of the biggest developers in the industry, ensuring that their players have their pick of the latest and most innovative games on the market, including slot machines and table games such as roulette, baccarat, poker, blackjack, and craps. Most of the casinos listed on this page offer lottery games like bingo and keno.
Customer feedback: When choosing a pay-by-mobile casino to use, we recommend checking what other players have to see about their experiences on the site. You can find out a lot about a casino by checking out feedback from other customers. Of course, you need to get good at telling the difference between legitimate criticism and a rant from a disgruntled customer, but that doesn’t tend to take a very long time.
Mobile capability: While all casinos that offer pay-by-mobile tend to have mobile betting options, not all mobile betting sites are created equal. Some sites don’t translate well to smaller screen sizes, with developers failing to optimise different elements of the site correctly. All of the casinos we recommend have excellent smartphone support and will run across a range of devices.

Promotions and bonuses

Everyone loves a generous casino bonus, especially with a low wager requirement, and there are plenty of great ones on offer at the pay-by-mobile casinos we have listed.

While it is not common, you may even find some casinos run specific promotions for pay-by-mobile customers. You can take a look at all the promotions on offer and see whether any of them are tied to your favourite casino games.

Quick facts about Pay by Mobile online casinos in the UK

Here are some useful tidbits of information about pay-by-mobile casinos:

Most major UK networks allow this payment method

The majority of UK phone providers will allow their customers to use this method to play at online casinos. Among the service providers that allow you to use this service are EE, O2, Giffgaff, Vodafone, and 3. In fact, you would be hard-pressed to find a mobile service provider that doesn’t allow you to use this.

Some casinos offer pay-by-phone bonuses

Pay by phone is becoming an increasingly popular way to deposit funds at online casinos and sports betting sites and some operators will have bonuses that are available exclusively for players that use this method.

You can’t withdraw using this method

While pay-by-phone is becoming increasingly popular for depositing funds, you won’t find a single casino that allows you to use it for withdrawals. This is because the technology behind the method has no way of getting money from your phone bill to your bank account.

Watch this space though, as payment providers are regularly looking for new ways to enhance the player experience.

Advantages of depositing via phone

The main advantages of paying by phone at an online casino are how convenient and secure the method is. Players need to link their accounts to their phone contract and approve the transaction and they’re ready to go.

This can be much quicker than using other methods which may require a lot of verification. It is one of the safest methods you will find at an online casino, with all transactions being encrypted and fully secured. All in all, players who are considering this payment option because they want a quick gaming experience and like the advantage of tying their casino account to their mobile phone number will definitely enjoy this method.

Before you make any casino deposits, you’ll need to go through the registration process and likely confirm your mobile number through an SMS message confirmation code.

Disadvantages of paying with your phone bill

While there are plenty of upsides to using pay-by-mobile as a deposit method, there are some disadvantages that players need to be aware of. Firstly, the minimum deposit amount for pay-by-mobile methods tends to be higher than standard networks in some cases. Check to see if your phone network allows these payments.

Secondly, and one of the biggest downfalls for most people, is that it can’t be used as a withdrawal method, which means players need to look for alternatives if they want to use this method to deposit.

Check out other popular casino payment methods like PayPal, Skrill, and Neteller.

How to use pay by mobile casinos

These casinos work the same way as other online casinos – choose a game, and get spinning. The difference is in the way that you make your deposit:

Choose a site to sign-up with.
Navigate to the payment method tab – the pay-by-mobile method is easily found in most banking sections.
Select pay by mobile or pay by phone in the list of options.
Enter how much youwant to deposit and the amount will be added to your monthly phone bill, as opposed to being taken directly from yout bank account.
Start playing!

Q&A session about pay-by-phone casinos

While it is one of the most convenient and secure options for depositing money when you want to enjoy some casino games, some aspects of Pay by Mobile can be a bit of a mystery. We’ve got here the most-asked questions about this payment method on the internet with expert answers. Read on!

1. Can I withdraw my winnings via phone bill?

Players can only use pay-by-mobile to make deposits at online casinos, and as such, you will need to use alternative methods to get your money out when you win a jackpot.

All of the casinos we have listed offer a selection of withdrawal methods, with Visa/Mastercard debit cards being the most popular. In some cases, you will not be able to use a payment method to withdraw if you have not used it to make a deposit previously.

2. Is there a minimum deposit required at the best pay-by-phone casinos?

This will depend on the individual casino you are using. The minimum deposit for most online casinos in the UK is £5 or £10, though, this is often higher with pay-by-mobile methods. This will come down to the operator you are using and your mobile provider.

Check out the best £5 betting sites – some of them have this payment method available too!

3. Are Pay by Mobile casinos available on iOS and Android?

Yes. Pay-by-mobile casinos are available on a range of different devices and operating systems. All of the pay-by-mobile casinos we have listed can be accessed using mobile browsers including both Google Chrome and Safari. In some cases, these casinos have mobile apps that can be downloaded.

4. What payment method is the best for paying off pay-by-phone casino bills?

When it comes to settling your phone bill after using it to play at a casino, you have a number of options.

In many ways, paying by credit that you have on your account is the safest option and is the one that allows you to gamble the most responsibly. This is because it is the easiest method to keep track of in terms of bankroll. Using your phone bill to top up is similar to betting with credit and can be a little trickier to keep track of.

In terms of convenience, being able to top up via mobile or text message is one of the quickest ways. Boku is a great payment method for those looking to top up using their mobile.

Our final thoughts on Pay by Mobile casinos

Pay by mobile as a banking method can be a fantastic alternative to traditional debit cards or e-wallet methods. The method is continuing to grow in popularity, with more and more casinos, and players alike, embracing it for its convenience, ease of use, and security.

We think pay-by-mobile is one of the most reliable payment methods on the market today. If you are interested in using a pay-by-mobile casino, then check out one of the links we have provided above to get started.

Fishin’ Frenzy Even Bigger Catch slot review: Features, bonuses, and tips

Betting Reporter — Wed, 22 Nov 2023 11:46:22 +0000

The Fishin’ Frenzy franchise is a pretty popular one. Most players will have come across at least one of the games, and most online gambling sites feature several titles, if not the whole series. An even bigger catch is swimming in the waters in this instalment, with collect multipliers and a Golden Fisherman.

We’re here to find out if this slot stands out amongst the others in the series. We want to know what UK players can reel in and what they stand to win. We’ll explore the symbols, payouts, RTP, maximum win and how to play. Read on to find out which bonus features to expect and where to find the slot in our Fishin’ Frenzy Even Bigger Catch review.

Best UK casinos for playing Fishin’ Frenzy Even Bigger Catch

Explore your options for playing this slot at one of these top casinos.

What are the main Fishin’ Frenzy Even Bigger Catch features?

The Fishin’ Frenzy Even Bigger Catch slot has many features, all connected to its fishing theme. The Wild Collect feature is a symbol that substitutes for the paying symbols, but not the cash, scatter or Golden Wild Collect. It collects the values of call cash symbols present on the reels.

The bonus round is where most of the features and bigger potential payouts arrive. Three or more fishing boat scatters lead to the free spins game. You can get between 10 and 20 spins. It’s only during this round that you can collect the cash values. Every fourth time you collect with the fisherman symbol, your cash values are upgraded up to 50x the bet, and you get five more spins.

The Golden Fisherman can also land on the reels. Not only does he help you collect the cash prizes, but he lets you pick a fish to apply a multiplier. Choose between the three fish for a 2x to 10x multiplier that affects the current cash prizes on the reels.

How can I play the Fishin’ Frenzy Even Bigger Catch online slot?

We’ve got the ultimate guide to talk you through how to play Fishin’ Frenzy Even Bigger Catch.

Pick a casino from the list
Register and deposit
Launch the Fishin’ Frenzy Even Bigger Catch slot
Adjust your bet
Spin the reels
Look out for three or more matching icons and any bonus symbols

Which software provider made the Fishin’ Frenzy Even Bigger Catch online slot?

This online slot, and the whole series, is from the popular software provider Blueprint Gaming. Besides the instantly recognisable fish and fisherman, you can expect some fun and cartoonish graphics. They’re matched by the equally slapstick-style sound effects.

How many paylines does Fishin’ Frenzy Even Bigger Catch have?

With five reels and three rows, this slot has 10 paylines. Matching symbols need to land on a payline from left to right for you to get a win.

What’s the RTP and volatility on Fishin’ Frenzy Even Bigger Catch?

The Fishin’ Frenzy Even Bigger Catch slot’s RTP is 95%. The volatility is medium to high, which means wins are different sizes and can vary in frequency.

When playing this slot, you can adjust the bet amount according to your bankroll. Fishin’ Frenzy Even Bigger Catch’s minimum bet is 10p, and the max that you can wager is £20.

What are the most important rules and settings for Fishin’ Frenzy Even Bigger Catch?

There are 10 symbols to look out for on the reels in the base game. They are the fishy playing cards 10, J, Q, K and A, and the fish, tackle box, life preserver, fishing rod and pelican. The fish are all different, but any combination on a payline leads to wins.

In the Fishin’ Frenzy Even Bigger Catch game, at least three matching symbols on a payline generate a win, except for the pelican, which pays out with only two matches. During the free spins round, the fisherman wild appears, which pays out for two or more symbols, too.

Wins count when they land from left to right on adjacent reels. Your payout combines wins from different lines, but only the highest win on a payline contributes.

They don’t hang around on the DP World Tour.

Just four days on from Nicolai Hojgaard winning the season-ending DP World Tour Championship and Rory McIlroy landing his fifth Race to Dubai crown, we’re off again!

The new 2023/24 campaign starts simultaneously on two continents. There’s this event, the Joburg Open in South Africa and, 7,230 miles away, the Fortinet Australian PGA Championship in Brisbane.

There’s another double header next week with the South African Open Championship sharing the stage with the ISPS HANDA Australian Open.

The Joburg Open first appeared on the schedule in 2007 but this is just the second edition at Houghton GC following Dan Bradbury’s victory here 12 months ago.

The Englishman shot 21-under to come home three strokes clear of Finland’s Sami Valimaki while home South Africans occupied five of the next six places.

Houghton GC is a 7,227-yard par 70 and has staged eight previous South African Opens.

Find some of the best picks for the Joburg Open.

Christiaan Bezuidenhout can bank victory

While a South African didn’t win here last year, the leaderboard was packed with home players and it could pay to side with a Springbok this time.

Christiaan Bezuidenhout is the standout and showed his liking for this week’s course when shooting 17-under to finish in a tie for third 12 months ago.

Bezuidenhout has an outstanding record on his own turf and his last eight starts in South Africa show three wins, a third, a fifth and a sixth.

Two tournaments ago, he showed some improved form to finish tied sixth in the PGA Tour’s Sanderson Farms Championship and, most recently, the 29-year-old shot a closing 66 at the Shriners Children’s Open in Las Vegas.

Two of his three DP World Tour wins have come in his homeland so here’s our tip:

Take Christiaan Bezuidenhout 12/1 with Spreadex that he wins

Thriston Lawrence can outscore Branden Grace

For so long, Branden Grace was one of the elite South African performers and would usually have been a popular bet to win this week.

But he seems to have taken backward steps of late and his last three starts show a pair of modest finishes in LIV events and tied 43rd in the Nedbank Golf Challenge.

While Grace’s star wanes, Thriston Lawrence’s rises.

Grace’s fellow South African was 24th in the Nedbank earlier this month and he followed that good effort on home soil with an excellent fifth place in the DP World Tour Championship in the United Arab Emirates last week.

Both are priced similarly in bet365’s 72-hole match-up but it’s Lawrence who gets the vote to come out on top.

Bet on Lawrence to outscore Branden Grace at 10/11 with bet365

Adri Arnaus for Top 10

Spain’s Adri Arnaus has flashed pieces of form in the last couple of months, logging a 14th and a 19th in two of his latest four DP World Tour starts.

But a return to South Africa could really get the juices flowing.

Get a £1 free bet for every goal scored in Man City vs Liverpool on Saturday with 10bet

Tom Lunn — Wed, 22 Nov 2023 11:01:01 +0000

Manchester City host Liverpool in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon’s early kick off for what’s set to be the biggest game of the weekend.

10bet are offering all eligible customers a £1 free bet for every goals scored in this Premier League clash.

10bet: £1 free bet for every goal in Man City vs Liverpool! – CLAIM HERE*

Man City won against Liverpool 4-1 last time these two sides faced each other in the Premier League, which was in April of last season.

Somehow, despite City’s prominence recently, they’ve not won consecutive games against the Reds since 1935 and 1937!

The majority of those consecutive wins have been quashed by draws, as Liverpool have only won once in their last 14 league away games, five of those being draws.

Man City clearly struggle more when away from home, and at the Etihad there’s been plenty of goals between these two sides.

At this stadium the aggregate reads 11-7, in all competitions which includes one win in the FA Cup for Liverpool.

Mohamed Salah has scored in each of his last four appearances against City, one in the league cup, two in the Premier League and another in the Community Shield.

The Egyptian winger put Liverpool one nil up at the Etihad in April, before City scored four to secure a big comeback.

Julian Alvarez netted just ten minutes later to equalise and then Kevin De Bruyne, Ilkay Gundogan and Jack Grealish scored three between them in the second half.

Betfred UK review: Sign up offer and sports promotions in 2023

Betting Reporter — Wed, 22 Nov 2023 10:47:34 +0000

Betfred is a legendary bookmaker any seasoned punter will recognise.

It was established by Fred Done in 1967, making it one of the oldest companies in the industry. However, Betfred also operates an online betting site, allowing punters to bet on their favourite sports from the comfort of their homes.

Today, we’re looking into the reasons that make Betfred one of the top online bookmakers in the UK. We’re testing everything you need to know, including bonuses, payment methods, betting markets, and innovative resources. Read our Betfred review to learn if signing up at this betting site is worth it.

Things we love about Betfred

Betfred stands out from the competition due to its reputation. On top of operating with a valid gambling licence, the bookie has years of experience in the betting industry. It also offers exciting bonuses and modern betting resources.

Iconic bookmaker with over 55 years of experience
Free bets and other regular promotions
Innovative features, like bet builder cash out

Things to improve at Betfred

Although Betfred is an excellent choice for UK punters, there are still a few aspects where it could improve. The bookmaker only has a handful of payment options, including VISA, Mastercard, and PayPal. In addition, live streaming is limited.

The payment method selection is limited
Live streaming is only available on select events

Latest Betfred offers and bonuses for sports

We couldn’t review Betfred without going through the operator’s offers and bonuses. The site has an extensive selection of bonuses, including but not limited to free bets, money-back offers, and accumulator boosters. Stick with us to learn how these promotions work:

Welcome bonus

Betfred’s welcome bonus is pretty straightforward – bet £10 and you’ll get £40 in free bets and casino bonuses. To be eligible for this offer, you must deposit using a debit card and place a bet of at least £10. The qualifying bet must be settled within seven days after signing up.

Cashed-out bets don’t qualify for the welcome bonus. Free bets and spins can be used on any market and selected games, respectively, and expire seven days after being credited to your account. This offer can only be claimed once per address, IP, or mobile device.

Accumulator bonuses

One of the most popular ways to boost your accumulators at Betfred is the Acca Flex bonus, which improves your winnings by up to 50%. The boost percentage varies according to the number of legs – e.g. a five-leg acca gets a 2.5% boost and an acca with 12 or more selections gets a 50% boost.

Betfred will also refund your stake up to £10 if your acca loses by one selection. The Acca Flex promotion is only compatible with football bets and select markets, such as match result, both teams to score, and over/under. Free bets, cashed-out bets, and in-play bets don’t qualify for the bonus.

Betfred Acca Flex

Get up to 50% in bonuses on winning football accas!

Applies to pre-match football accumulators of 5+ selections on selected markets. Min odds 1/2 leg. 2.5%-50% cash bonus on settlement if all selections win. £10 max cash refund if one leg loses. Paid within 24hrs of bet settlement. Cashed Out/In-Play bets not applicable. T&Cs apply.

CLAIM OFFER

Offers by sports

What’s excellent about Betfred is that punters can claim bonuses for specific sports, such as horse racing, American football, and greyhound racing. Here are some of our favourite offers available at this bookmaker:

Horse and greyhound racing

Betfred is home to several horse racing bonuses. Let’s start with money-back free bets – the bookmaker will refund your stake as a free bet if your selected horse finishes in second or third. The maximum refund is limited to £10 and free bets are valid for seven days. This bonus is only compatible with select events.

Then, there’s the Super Extra Place Races bonus. Occasionally, the site will pay additional places on select events. If your horse finishes in one of the extra places, your bet will be paid at odds 1.2 (1/5). The offer is only compatible with each-way single or multiple bets.

Last but not least – the Lucky Bonus. Punters who place a Lucky 15, 31, 63, Canadian, Heinz, or Yankee win or each-way bet on horse racing, greyhound racing, or virtual racing will get a boost of up to 25% if their selections win. The bonus is only valid if all contestants run.

Football

Betfred will pay double or triple the odds on events that are part of the Double Delight and Hat-Trick Heaven promotions. To be eligible for this bonus you must place a first goalscorer bet on select events. If the player scores two or three goals, you’ll get double or triple the winnings, respectively. Goals scored in the extra time and own goals don’t count.

American football

Do you enjoy betting on American football? If so, hear us out. Betfred offers acca insurance for anytime touchdown bets with five or more legs. If you lose your bet by one event, the bookmaker will give you a refund as a free bet, up to a maximum of £20. This insurance bonus isn’t compatible with other markets.

How to claim your bonus

You need to use the code WELCOME40 to claim Betfred’s welcome bonus. All you have to do is register for an account and meet the requirements – i.e. placing a bet of £10 or more on evens or over within seven days of registering.

Regular promotions follow the same rule: you’re eligible for the promotion if your qualifying bet meets the bookmaker’s requirements.

Betfred payment methods

Betfred accepts popular banking options, including VISA and Mastercard debit, Skrill, PayPal, and paysafecard. All transactions are processed instantly for your convenience. Please note you must verify your account before depositing at the bookmaker.

Betfred withdrawal options

The bookmaker allows players to withdraw with the same method used to deposit, except for Paysafecard. The minimum withdrawal is £5. You can contact support if you’d like to request a withdrawal under this amount.

Withdrawals are processed within 48 hours after being requested. However, it can take a few more days until the funds are credited to your account, especially if you withdraw via debit card. E-wallet transactions are credited instantly.

Betfred minimum deposit

Betfred has a minimum deposit of £5 for all payment methods, which is lower than most online bookmakers in the UK.

How to use the cash-out feature

Betfred wouldn’t be a top-rated bookmaker if it didn’t offer a cash-out feature. Punters can use this resource to settle their bets earlier, allowing them to limit their losses or secure part of their winnings.

To cash out, all you have to do is check your active bets. If your bet slip has a cash-out symbol, that means you can settle your bet. Cash-out is always available on specific events, such as UK and Irish racing.

However, it’s important to remember that the cash-out feature can’t be used with free bets. In addition, cashing out a qualifying wager automatically voids any free bet bonuses you might be eligible for.

Does Betfred offer free bets?

Yes. Betfred has several free bet offers, the most common being the welcome bonus that rewards you with £40 in free bets and casino bonuses. You’ll also find money-back bonuses that give you free bets if you lose your wager, and weekly free bets for greyhound racing.

Luton v Crystal Palace
Newcastle v Chelsea
Nottingham Forest v Brighton
Sheffield United v Bournemouth
Brentford v Arsenal (5:30pm)

Sunday (2pm kick off unless stated):

The weekend kicks off with its standout fixture, with Manchester City and Liverpool coming to blows at the Etihad Stadium in a battle between the top two teams in the Premier League table heading into the weekend.

Five 3pm kick-offs take place on Saturday, which includes an in-form Chelsea side heading to Tyneside to take on Newcastle in what is likely to be the most entertaining of the lot.

Elsewhere around the country, the Premier League’s bottom side Burnley welcome West Ham to Turf Moor, while Crystal Palace make the short trip to Luton, who have just one win to their name so far, and are winless at home.

An out of form Brighton side make the trip to the City Ground to take on Nottingham Forest in another of the 3pm kick offs, while Sheffield United come up against Bournemouth in a huge match at the bottom end of the table.

A London derby takes place in the evening kick off on Saturday, with third place Arsenal, who start the day just a point off the top of the table, making the short trip west to take on Brentford.

Two matches on Sunday see fourth placed Tottenham, themselves only two points off the table’s summit despite having lost their last two matches, welcome Aston Villa to North London, who sit just one point and one place below them.

Everton adjust to life under their new points deduction which has seen them fall from 14th to 19th in the table, looking to break out of the relegation zone once again as they look to take maximum points off Manchester United on Sunday afternoon at Goodison Park.

The Premier League weekend comes to a close on Monday night as Fulham and Wolves meet at Craven Cottage in a bottom half clash between teams separated by just three points.

Katie Taylor v Chantelle Cameron betting offer: Bet £10 and get £40 in free bets with BetMGM

Will Stanley — Tue, 21 Nov 2023 16:11:57 +0000

Katie Taylor is back in the boxing ring on Saturday night in Dublin for a rematch against Chantelle Cameron in a fight to be crowned undisputed super lightweight champion.

And BetMGM are offering new customers £40 in free bets when they bet £10 on the action on Saturday night.

Bet £10 on BETMGM get £40 in free bets!

BETMGM – Bet £10 Get £40 In Free Bets – CLAIM HERE*

Taylor and Cameron meet once again in Dublin six months after their initial fight in the same arena which saw the Brit shock the boxing world by inflicting Taylor’s first professional defeat and retaining her undisputed light welterweight title.

The fight went the full distance and was decided by a majority decision against the Irishwoman, who will be out for revenge in front of her home fans on Saturday night.

The 37-year-old from County Wicklow carries a 20-1 record into Saturday’s bout following her defeat in May in which she missed out on unifying all five lightweight belts with all five of the light welterweight belts that Cameron holds.

Cameron remains unbeaten heading into Saturday night’s bout, her record standing at 18-0 and will be aiming to retain all five light welterweight titles.

The 32-year-old from Northampton upset the odds by beating odds on favourite Taylor, one of the superstars of women’s boxing, in front of her home fans in Dublin, and will aiming to repeat the feat this weekend, this time with the added pressure of being favourite.

To win the fight (bet365):

Katie Taylor – 8/5
Chantelle Cameron – 13/25
Draw – 12/1

Nottingham Forest v Brighton preview

Brighton make the trip north to Nottingham as favourites for victory on Saturday afternoon despite not having won a Premier League game since September.

Roberto de Zerbi’s run of six league games without a win, most recently being held to a 1-1 draw by a Sheffield United side who were bottom of the table heading into the match, has seen his side drop down to eighth place in the table.

The Seagulls kicked off the season with an electric start, winning five of their first six league games but haven’t found victory in the league since, potentially hindered by having a small squad and now having the additional task of a Europa League campaign following their sixth place finish last season.

On the other half of the coin though, Brighton have lost just one of their last eight matches in all competitions, coming in an away defeat to Manchester City, and are unbeaten in their last five.

The Sussex side have won two of their last five games, both coming against Ajax in the Europa League, drawing three of their last four in all competitions, but have only managed to pick up four points from their last six league games.

They come up against a Nottingham Forest side who have also been struggling of late, winning just one of their last eight matches.

Steve Cooper’s side impressed in a 3-0 victory over high-flying Aston Villa at the start of the month but gave up a 2-1 lead at West Ham a fortnight ago in the last game before last week’s international break, losing 3-2 and halting their progress.

Forest head into the weekend 14th in the table, eight points clear of the relegation zone and only three points off the top half, a gap they will be aiming to close on Saturday at their home stadium, in which they are unbeaten in the league this season.

Nottingham Forest took four points off Brighton last season, and will be aiming to repeat their victory over them at the City Ground back in April.

The Seagulls are winless in their last three matches against Saturday’s opponents and have just one win in their last four trips to the City Ground.

Nottingham Forest v Brighton betting tips

BetVictor have boosted a selection of their odds ahead of Saturday’s Premier League encounter, which includes those for Nottingham Forest to win 3-1, just as they did against these opponents seven months ago, which are now available at 22/1.

For those backing the Seagulls to get the job done, the odds for Brighton to win and both teams to score have also been boosted to 31/10.

Betfair betting offer: Get a completely free bet on Betfair Chase day at Haydock

Get a completely free bet on multiples at the Betfair Chase this weekend at Haydock!

Betfair: COMPLETELY FREE BET ON RACING MULTIPLES AT THE BETFAIR CHASE – CLAIM HERE*

It’s not just the Betfair Chase on Saturday either, racing fans are treat to the Grade 2 Novices’ Hurdle as the opener of the day at Haydock.

As well as a strong second race for the Betting.Betfair.com Handicap Chase, with prominent chasers starring including Cheddleton, Mackenberg and Pay The Piper.

There’s then a Class 2 Handicap Hurdle which has Coral Cup winner in the Cheltenham Festival, Langer Dan in the early entries after failing to fire at Kempton earlier this month.

Grey Dawning is the strong odds-on favourite for the Graduation Chase, but Challenge Cup winner may have something to say about that with his superior stamina, Gaillard Du Mesnil, should the Willie Mullins-trained horse opt for this race for the seven-year-old.

The Stayers’ Handicap Hurdle is a tough contest but offers a huge £71k in prize money for the winner.

Emmet Mullins-trained Slate Lane could still be weighted well having won three in a row, but there’s many each-way chances too while there declarations are yet to be made.

The big event though is of course the Grade 1 Betfair Chase.

Bravemansgame and Protektorat are the big favourites for the race and it’s the former who is slowly attracting more attention in the market.

Shishkin is an early entrant but he is likely to be heading to Ascot instead for the potentially more suitable 1965 Chase.

What to look out for when choosing a new casino in 2023

When you choose a new casino, it needs to deliver on several fronts. The game library is definitely something to pay close attention to. Check out the software providers, range of slots, live casino games, and any exclusive options.

Payment options and terms are also crucial factors. You’ll want a choice of convenient payment methods and fast turnaround times for deposits and withdrawals, ideally without any fees. A site should also be reputable, so checking for licensing details and security measures to give you peace of mind.

All you need to know before signing up at a new online casino

Before you sign up at a new casino, you should find out about the welcome bonus, how much you can get, and how you trigger it. Most packages are triggered by your initial deposit and there’s usually a minimum deposit limit. In some cases, you might need to enter a bonus code, opt-in, or contact customer support to claim.

It’s best to be aware of this information, the wagering requirement, and the expiry date, so that you can make the most of the bonus. It’s best to have scouted a few games that you want to play, too. You can usually try them in demo mode first.

Advantages of new online casinos

New online casinos have several advantages. They often work harder to attract new customers, which means generous welcome bonuses. These usually cover your first few deposits, acting as a way to introduce you to the casino and its different games.

Another advantage is that new casinos are often the first to embrace new ways of doing things. It could mean they offer cryptocurrencies, have innovative loyalty programmes or different types of promotions. They might also be more likely to source new and exclusive games, giving you access to better content.

Disadvantages of new online casinos

New casinos also have their disadvantages. One of the major ones is that they don’t have much of a track record. To understand what a casino is like and how it treats its customers, you need to check its reputation. If the site hasn’t been operating for long, it’s more challenging to read customer reviews and find out if it pays out and is a good place to play.

Another disadvantage to new casinos is that they sometimes launch and slowly build up their content. That means it could take time for them to launch their app or loyalty programme. They might not have added live dealer games yet or set up many regular promotions compared to established Irish online casinos.

How to deposit money at new online casinos

When you sign up at a new casino, you’ll need to deposit to start playing and to trigger your welcome package. Each site has its own procedure, but we’ve created a general guide that applies in most circumstances.

Sign up or log in to your account
Look for a deposit or cashier button from within your account
Check the available payment methods and choose your preferred one
Enter the payment details or link to your wallet
Add the amount you want to deposit
Review the information and confirm
See your funds arrive instantly

How to withdraw my winnings at new online casinos

When you play at a casino, you might walk away with some winnings. To get them back in your bank account, you’ll need to withdraw. We recommend verifying your identity before getting to that step. The casinos on our list have KYC or Know Your Customer procedures, which means checking your ID to verify your age, name, and address.

Once you’ve supplied those documents, it can take a few days for the casino to complete the verification. It can slow down the withdrawal process, which is why we recommend doing it first, and then you can follow this guide.

Log in and visit your account
Head to the withdrawal section of the cashier
Choose from the available options
Fill out your payment details
Enter the amount to withdraw
Review and confirm

Which new casino has the best mobile app?

Most of the casinos on our list don’t have mobile apps, although you can access them via your mobile browser. Highroller has an attractive app that delivers a large game catalogue and the same exciting features that you’ll find on the desktop site.

We’re particularly impressed with the sign-up offer at Crocoslots. We think that the best bonuses are the ones where the gift keeps on giving, and with rewards for your first three deposits, this casino certainly fulfils that criterion.

Are new casinos in Ireland safe?

Yes, most of the time, new casinos in Ireland are safe. You should always do your due diligence and check the casino out. You can look for licence information, security protocols, and responsible gambling policies to check that the casino protects players.

Final remarks

What to look out for when choosing the best sign-up offer?

It’s important to check the terms and conditions of a sign-up offer, including who qualifies for them. For example, a casino can accept Irish players, but not offer certain bonuses to them.

Check the accepted deposit methods for the welcome offer. Most sites support Skrill and Neteller for payments but do not offer the welcome bonus to players who make a first deposit with these e-wallets.

Check how the bonus works. Is it a package made up of three deposits? When does it expire after activation? When can you use the free spins? Also, check if the casino is a sister site of one you’ve played on before. If you’ve received a similar welcome offer on a sister site, you might not be able to partake in it again.

Finally, check the wagering requirements. Some online casinos offer a massive welcome offer only to find out that the wagering requirements are ridiculously high. Good casino sites have 35x to 50x wagering requirements.

What is a welcome bonus and how does it work?

A welcome bonus is a reward for new players who sign up and make their first deposit, as long as it qualifies. This is usually around €10 to €20 in most online casinos and it’s normally a match deposit bonus where the gambling site adds a percentage of the deposit to the player’s account in the form of bonus money.

The bonus money comes with terms and conditions, most notably the wagering requirement which stipulates how many times the bonus must be played through before it becomes real money.

Sign up at Casumo and receive a welcome bonus with a minimum deposit of €20.

Pros and cons of welcome bonuses in 2023

Below are the pros and cons of sign-up offers in 2023:

Pros

You can play more games without depositing more money
You can win and withdraw from the bonus
New players can learn more about how casino games, promotions, and payment options work without spending more of their money
Some do not require a deposit

Cons

You have to complete the wagering requirements to withdraw your winnings

How to claim a casino welcome bonus

To claim a welcome bonus, you have to complete the registration and deposit the required amount. Once your deposit goes through, the bonus money is automatically added to your player account’s total funds.

If the casino welcome offer comes with a bonus code, there’ll be an option to enter it on the cashier tab during the deposit stage.

How to cash out the best welcome bonuses

There are two types of welcome bonuses: sticky and non-sticky. A sticky bonus means that you are stuck with it and must fulfil the wagering requirements before you can make a withdrawal. On the other hand, a non-sticky bonus and all winnings associated with it can be withdrawn whenever you want.

There is one caveat to consider, though. You must wager your deposit amount at least one time before any online casino will allow you to withdraw money. This is in line with international laws pertaining to money laundering.

Sign up with QuickSlot and get a 200% match up to €500 welcome bonus.

What are the most popular welcome offers in Ireland?

Some of the most popular welcome offers in Ireland include no deposit, match-up, cashback, free spins, refer-a-friend, and deposit bonuses. For instance, LeoVegas has a generous welcome offer that allows plenty of game time.

What are the most popular casino games that offer bonuses?

Popular online casino games that are usually featured in welcome bonuses are Starburst, Wild Wild Riches, and Book of Dead, to name a few. The bonus terms offer different rewards and prizes to members that can then be spent on these games.

However, before you claim a free spin or cash bonus tied to a particular game, read the fine print first to avoid any nasty restrictions on your winnings, for example.

What payment methods are available in Ireland for casino players?

Popular casino payment methods for Irish players include Skrill, Neteller, paysafecard, MuchBetter, ecoPayz, Visa, and Mastercard.

Can I win real money with welcome bonuses?

You can win real money with welcome bonuses once you’ve completed the wagering requirements. That’s why most new players elect to take advantage of casino bonuses granted on registration, as they represent a chance to win a fortune, provided they choose where to wager their bonus funds carefully.

Just like with a real slot machine, your bonus cash will only take you as far as the slot game’s payout percentage. If that number is low, you’re fairly likely to lose most of your casino bonus without any value in return and risk losing much more money than just the casino bonus amount.

Are welcome offers only available for new players?

Welcome offers are mainly there to attract new customers, limited to first-time depositors. Casinos do have ongoing promotions for existing players.

Final remarks

Choosing an online casino that works for you is not only about looking at the welcome bonus. It should be able to cater to players in many ways, including promotions, which are more than just a welcome offer, game variety, supported payment options, customer support, safety, and security. The 10 casinos we recommended are not only made up of generous welcome bonuses, but also the above elements.

Welcome bonuses shouldn’t only be hefty, but should also have reasonable wagering requirements so that you can access your winnings to play more casino games or cash them out.

Having reviewed many casinos over the years, we’ve learnt what to look for. We only recommend casinos that are trustworthy, can be relied on to pay out, and operate legally. Here are some of the key things we look for when assessing a casino:

Safety and Licences

One of the best ways to know if the casino is trustworthy is to check for a valid licence. These licences are issued by internationally recognised gambling commissions who ensure that the casinos operate legally and that they adhere to responsible gambling guidelines.

Reputable organisations include the United Kingdom Gambling Commission (UKGC) and the Malta Gaming Authority (MGA). If a site has a licence from the Gambling Regulatory Authority of Ireland, even better.

Bonuses

One of the first things we check is a site’s bonuses. We don’t just look at the cashback bonus, but all promotions, and their terms and conditions (T&C) to ensure they’re fair. The T&C will include the wagering requirements, eligibility, maximum and minimum deposit amounts, time limits and any other restrictions that might apply.

Variety of games

Online casinos in Ireland with cashback bonuses usually focus heavily on slots. However, players like to have various other games to play. In addition to slots, we look for all the classic table games like roulette, blackjack, poker, and baccarat. We also like to see live table games and game shows like Wheel of Fortune and Monopoly Live.

Payment methods

Making a deposit or a withdrawal should be fast and simple when you join an online cashback casino in Ireland. Casinos should have the most popular methods like Visa and Mastercard. But they should also include some e-wallets like Neteller and PayPal.

Customer support

It’s important that players are able to get the information they need quickly and easily. Having good customer support can make the difference between a good casino and a really excellent one. When we review casinos we check for live chat, a help centre and email support.

Best Online Casinos in Ireland: Play at top rated Irish casino sites 2023

Betting Reporter — Tue, 21 Nov 2023 12:00:00 +0000

Online casinos are becoming popular in Ireland. The main reason behind this is the establishment of the Gambling Regulatory Authority of Ireland. Soon, the commission will start regulating and licensing online casino gambling sites.

This is no surprise – gambling is an extremely popular activity in Ireland, with over 70% of the adult Irish population claiming they gambled in the past year. The most popular forms of gambling in Ireland include sports betting and lotteries. But what about online casinos?

Well, even though having an Irish gambling commission is good news, it doesn’t mean all licensed casinos will offer an enjoyable experience. Therefore, it’s important to rely on honest and unbiased reviews, especially since there are hundreds of casinos to choose from. Stick with us to learn more about the best online casinos for Irish players.

What makes a good online casino for Irish players?

Choosing a good online casino can be tricky if you don’t know what to look for. Fortunately, there are a few key details that will quickly let you know if signing up at an online casino is worth it, and every casino review we write keeps an eye on these factors. Here’s what you should pay attention to before creating an account:

Casino bonuses, VIP clubs and loyalty offers
You should take your time to look through the bonus section of each casino brand to evaluate its diversity. Fair bonuses will also have fair wagering requirements. Furthermore, having a VIP programme for existing casino players offers more entertainment after the sign-up bonus. Any self-respecting highroller casino will have prizes for loyal customers.
Range of games on offer
Before signing up, head over to the casino section and see what types of games are available, in every category. Bonus points if you can find your favourites in the casino game library. Check out the graphics of the best titles, whether they can be played on a smartphone, what other players say about the gaming experience, etc.
Fast payouts and payment options
Withdrawing from an online casino should be fast and easy. Check which banking methods the casino accepts and what their processing times are. Most of the time, withdrawals shouldn’t last more than a couple of days.
Customer service
It’s crucial to rely on speedy and efficient support if you run into issues. The staff should also be available 24/7, or at least during the day.
Quick sign-ups
Some casinos require players to verify their identity before signing up on their platform, which can make the registration process tedious. However, casinos with fast sign-ups are still as safe.
User experience
An engaging user interface and casino site design are important elements for your online entertainment. Therefore, we chose casinos that focus on player experience and not just game variety. Casinos should be optimized for other devices besides desktop PCs, meaning they should look good on a screen of any size. Playing on iOS and Android devices through a browser or a mobile app without having a negative impact on your gameplay is essential.
Security and licensing
It’s important that your casino account holding your payment and personal data is secure. That’s why registering at a casino site that does its due diligence when it comes to safety should be a priority. Also, see if the casino holds a license from renowned institutions such as the UK Gambling Commission or the Malta Gaming Authority.

Enter the required details, such as your email, phone number, and date of birth.

What games are available at Irish casinos?

Top online casinos in Ireland are known for their game variety, offering thousands of slot games developed by award-winning iGaming developers. For example, some of the best are Evolution, Pragmatic Play, NetEnt, Playtech, Play’n Go and Microgaming.

With such variety in Irish operators’ portfolios, there’s plenty of chance for excitement when members discover great games similar to everyone’s favourites, like Starburst. If you are one of the people that value a certain type of game or play at specific live dealer tables, you’ll find plenty of action at Ireland’s top online casinos.

Here’s a shortlist of the games you can play:

Video slots, jackpot slots
Table games – blackjack, roulette, baccarat, and others
Live casino – poker, baccarat, roulette, blackjack, craps, and game shows
Bingo, keno, and lottery
Scratchcards
Crash games

The Return to Player (RTP) rate is among the important criteria to consider when choosing an Irish casino site, as it indicates the average amount of money a player can expect to receive back from their wagers over time. Don’t get lured in by jackpot games with incredible prize pools – just like regular slot machines, these games offer very low chances of actually getting that pot of gold.

Are online casinos legal in Ireland?

Currently, there are no regulations that forbid international casinos from offering their services to Irish users. However, the Irish government recently announced the establishment of a gambling commission to licence and regulate casinos operating in the country – the Gambling Regulatory Authority of Ireland.

What is the best online casino in Ireland?

The answer to this question depends on your preferences – is the games portfolio your priority, or do you prefer a comprehensive array of payment options? Your choices might also be affected by the casino bonus an operator offers, or whether its site has up-to-date SSL encryption protecting user data and transactions. For example, if you’re looking for fast withdrawals, we recommend choosing Highroller. On the other hand, if you prefer playing on the go, consider signing up at Casumo.

Highroller sign up

100% bonus up to €500 + 200 free spins

SIGN UP

Do Irish casinos have mobile apps?

Everything – including gambling – is made more fun by the option to do it on the go. Mobile gambling apps are a huge part of that, so the most reputable online casino brands in Ireland have supplemented their desktop offering with an app. If that’s wasn’t possible, most operator websites have been optimised to offer a top-notch casino experience on a smaller screen. Either way – mobile gambling is definitely an option in Ireland!

Do I need to pay tax on my winnings?

Since 2006, betting has been subject to a gambling tax of 1%, which was usually charged to punters by the bookmakers. However, in 2015, changes were made so that the tax is now collected from the betting companies. You don’t have to worry about paying taxes on your winnings if you’re in Ireland.

Do online casinos charge fees for withdrawing money?

It depends on the casino you’re playing at. However, the best online casinos in Ireland don’t usually charge fees for deposits or withdrawals. Please note there may be currency conversion fees for withdrawals if you’re playing with a different currency.

How do I withdraw money from an online casino?

Here’s what you should do to withdraw from an online casino in Ireland:

Go to the cashier section and click “Withdrawal”.
Choose the payment method that you previously used to deposit, if it’s available.
Enter the withdrawal amount and your account information.
Review the details and confirm the withdrawal.

There you have it. By now you should have a great idea of what to expect from the best online casino available in Ireland.

Newcastle v Chelsea preview

The two teams headed into last weekend’s international break in contrasting form following the previous round of Premier League matches.

Eddie Howe’s side most recent loss halted a lot of progress the Magpies had made following a slow start to the league season which saw them lose three of their last four matches.

The Magpies’ home form remains impressive though, having won six of their last seven matches in all competitions at St James’ Park, conceding just once across those victories.

Newcastle took four points off Chelsea last season, ending a run of seven defeats to the Blues in their previous eight meetings.

Howe and Pochettino have met on the touchline eight times before in their managerial careers, with the Argentine leading 6-1 in wins over that period.

Newcastle v Chelsea betting tips

Chelsea’s last two matches have brought about 13 goals, though Newcastle have proved tough to beat at home and don’t tend to concede many goals in at St James’ Park.

A score draw could be worth a punt for Saturday’s match, which Paddy Power are offering at 3/1. For those willing to be more precise, a 1-1 draw is available with the bookie at 5/1, while a 2-2 stalemate is priced at a tempting 10/1.

UK online casinos with the best free spins bonuses

How we rated free spins casinos

There are several aspects to consider when choosing a free spins bonus. You need to take a close look at both the online casino, as well as the rules and restrictions relating to the individual bonus. This can seem overwhelming, and it’s a lot of information to digest, but we’ve made it simple by highlighting the most critical points that set apart quality bonuses from time wasters.

Bonus size – Bonuses will often sound very alluring, offering the possibility of hundreds of free spins, but things aren’t always exactly as they seem. Once you start looking under the hood, you’ll find that the bonus size is dependent on a number of factors. Check whether the maximum cashout is capped or unlimited. Most casinos will set a ceiling on how much you can win from your free spins, and it can sometimes be too little to bother with.
Licensing – Online casinos are required to operate with a gaming licence that holds them accountable and subject to a set of laws. All online casinos that offer their services to UK players are required to hold a licence from the UK Gambling Commission (UKGC). In this way the players are protected by strict laws that ensure fairness and transparency. While casinos with other licences might be open to accepting players located in the UK, playing with them falls outside the law.
Payment methods – When it’s time to fund your casino account, you should be able to choose from a range of different payment options. A great site will include bank transfers, debit cards (you can’t legally use a credit card to gamble online in the UK), digital wallets (ewallets), and even cryptocurrency. Some of the most popular options are VISA, Mastercard, Skrill, Neteller, and PayPal.
Slot variety – When it comes to using your free spins, it’s rarely a free for all. Most of the time the bonus comes attached to one or more specific slot games. The slots on offer are usually great ones like Book of Dead, Starburst, and Gonzo’s Quest. But you should watch out for offers on older games with low RTP, which reduce your chances of hitting winning spins.
Safety measures – Playing casino games online for real money unavoidably requires you to divulge personal and financial information. This is expected and generally very safe, assuming you’ve chosen a secure site. Before registering, scroll to the bottom of any page and scan the footer for information about the licence and SSL encryption against hacking attempts.
Customer support – There’s nothing more frustrating than running into a problem and not finding the help you need. Solid customer support is essential to a great online casino experience. While support comes in multiple formats, 24 hour care and a live chat option are the ideal combo.
Wagering requirements – If you ever find a wager-free bonus, we recommend that you grab it and never let go. But most of the time you’ll need to contend with wagering requirements in order to turn your bonus win into real cash. Look out for really low wagering, and try to stay away for anything that strays over 35x.
Time limits – With free spin bonuses, you rarely have all the time in the world. Most offers come with a ticking clock attached and you’ll need to meet all the requirements before the expiration date in order to reap the rewards.

How to claim a free spins bonus

If you’re already familiar with casino bonuses, then you won’t have any trouble with free spin offers since they work exactly the same way. If you’re a newbie, here’s how to get your hands on the best free spins bonuses in town:

Log in to your favourite online casino or choose one of our recommended sites
Click onto the promo section on the site after you register or log in
Browse the available offers and choose the free spin bonus
Read the terms and conditions to make sure it represents great value
Follow the on-page instructions to activate the offer and get spinning

The best free spins bonuses strategy to maximise your winnings

The main thing to keep in mind is that free spins on RNG slots are entirely luck-based. They can never be influenced by any kind of skill on the part of the player. That being said, there are things you can do to play smarter and increase your chances of success.

Be choosy about wagering requirements – Look out for wager-free bonuses that put you in a win-win situation. The next best thing are bonuses with very low wagering requirements that you’re likely to meet quickly.
Investigate the special features – When selecting the slot to play on, do some research on the different games on offer. Feature-rich games give you a greater chance of hitting bonus games and multiplier rounds for larger wins.
Look up the slot’s RTP – Your bonus will sometimes allow you to choose from a range of different slot games. The higher the RTP the better, and always go 96% or higher. As a general rule, older games tend to have lower RTPs.
Volatility matters – If you’re working with a small number of free spins, you’ll want to avoid high volatility slots as you won’t have enough spins to hit decent payouts. But if you have a big stack of spins then choose high volatility games as you’ll have the opportunity to wait out the dry spells.
Set a budget and stick to it – It doesn’t matter how good the offer is, if it requires you to spend more than you can afford it’s simply not worth the risk. Only sign up for free spin bonuses that sit comfortably within your budget. Better to take 20 free spins with a low deposit then put up more cash for 100 spins that might not translate into a win.

What are the free spins bonuses wagering requirements?

Wagering requirements are always determined by the online casino, and they can change from promotion to promotion. The wagering set dictates how many times you need to play though your bonus win before you can withdraw it as cash.

Always do your research before committing yourself to a free spin bonus as it can mean the difference between success and failure. It goes without saying that the lower the rollover requirements the better. As a general rule, we don’t recommend accepting wagering requirements over 35x.

Can you use multiple free spins offers?

Yes. If the free spins promotions are available, then you can claim as many of them as you want. Sometimes the terms will include a restriction that blocks you from activating the promo while another is running concurrently, but this is most commonly found when you’re in the process of using up the welcome offer.

As a general rule, casino promotions are created to incentivise players to play, meaning you should feel free to use as many free spin offers as the gambling site makes available to you. As a player, you can also take advantage of multiple offers at the same time by signing up for multiple casinos. This goes both for current casinos, but especially also for new casinos that tend to give out great bonusses to attract players.

Are casinos that offer free spins safe?

Free spin bonuses are amongst the most common casino bonuses you’ll find online. But a bonus is only as safe as its host site. While there’s nothing unusual or suspicious about the bonus itself, you should always be careful about which casino you choose to play at.

As long as the site has a UK Gambling Commission (UKGC) licence, you should feel secure in the fact that it’s a safe place to play and claim bonuses. You can even check out online forums where real players discuss their experience playing on a given site.

What is the best casino for free spins bonuses?

There are plenty of online casinos that offer free spins bonuses. Some offers are available all year round, while others are one-offs or launched to celebrate seasons or particular milestones. All the casinos we mention in this guide are top options for safety, game selection and bonuses.

But every betting site is free to offer promos in any way they see fit, meaning that the choices will vary from site to site. Which one is best for you depends on your preferences. Some online casinos run entirely on free spin bonuses, while others like to mix it up with bonus cash deals.

Online casinos like Winomania and Mr Vegas offer a constant flow of free spin promotions, including opportunities to win wager-free spins. For even more variety, check out talkSPORTBET and experience the thrill of sports free bets alongside casino bonuses that regularly dole out 100 free spins.

Are there any free spins bonuses for mobile?

These days, online casino operators understand that people prefer the ease and convenience of accessing entertainment via mobile devices via mobile casinos. That’s why all quality online casinos are optimised for mobile use, and many of them also have mobile apps which you can download via the App Store or Google Play.

Regardless of where and how you choose to engage with an online casino, the promotions remain unchanged. Some casinos that want to encourage players to download their app will even offer exclusive bonuses for mobile users.

In short, free spins bonuses are highly compatible with mobile gameplay, and you might even get more than you bargained for.

Are there any free spins bonuses for existing players?

Magic Red Casino is a great example of an online casino with exciting free spins bonuses built in. That means the fun doesn’t stop after the welcome bonus is exhausted.

Instead, players can access a fresh stack of spins pretty much every time they log in. Magic Red Casino is a great example of a site with a weekly free spins offer. Magic Spins Tuesday offers players the chance to collect up to 30 free spins to play on famous games like Starburst from Microgaming.

All you need to do is deposit a minimum of £20 and use the bonus code ‘STARspins’. You can deposit up to three times with the same code, for 10 free spins with every deposit.

What other bonus offers can I get from online casinos?

Online casinos are becoming more and more creative, with new bonus offers and incentive programs popping up all the time. Aside from free spin bonuses, these are the most common offers you’ll come across:

Deposit match bonuses – Deposit match bonuses are there to match your cash deposit with bonus cash. This is usually 100%, but sometimes it’s 75%, 50% or less. For example, 100% up to £100 means that if you deposit £30, you’ll get another £30 in bonus cash on top. You can deposit up to £100 for another £100 in bonus cash at the maximum. Bonus cash usually comes with wagering requirements that can attach to just the bonus, or both the bonus and the real cash.

No deposit bonuses – No deposit casino bonuses are less common, but they allow players to explore games in a risk-free capacity. Usually made up of free spins, players are generally invited to register at a new online casino and try things out with a free bonus. There’s no requirement to make a deposit. These bonuses almost always come with wagering requirements, so even if your bonus translates into a win, you’ll eventually have to deposit in order to play through the bonus win and turn it into real cash.

Cashback bonuses – No one likes to lose a bet or a spin, but it’s an inevitable part of gambling. Cashback bonuses help you to recoup part of your losses. These bonuses calculate a percentage of your net losses over a given period (usually a week) and credit the value to your balance. This is usually 10%, but it can climb higher when tied to a loyalty program. Some online casinos have cashback programs that run on real cash rewards, but most of the time you’ll get bonus cash that’s attached to wagering requirements.

Reload bonuses – Reload bonuses are how casinos reward loyal players who’ve used up the welcome bonus. They’re built on bonus cash, and activated when you make a qualifying deposit. These offers tend to be smaller, but offer a nice boost. For example, 50% up to £200 is a decent boost, assuming the wagering requirements and other terms are fair.

Swift online casino pros & cons

There are good and bad things about Swift Casino. We liked this gambling site because it operates with a licence issued by the UKGC, has amazing jackpot slots, and accepts safe banking options, like PayPal. It also doesn’t have a set minimum withdrawal.

At 60x, Swift Casino’s wagering requirements are higher than most gambling sites in the UK. In addition, the site’s live chat feature isn’t available 24/7, meaning it can take a while until you get an answer.

Pros

Portfolio with over 5,100 games
Accepts top-rated payment methods
Extensive VIP program
No set minimum withdrawal

Cons

The wagering requirements are higher than average
The live chat feature isn’t available 24/7

This offer has a default wagering requirement of 30x the combined deposit and bonus amount. However, if winnings from free spins, combined with the bonus funds, exceed the original deposit amount, then the wagering requirements jump to 60x.

In either case, the wagering requirements must be completed within 30 days. Each free spin is worth £1.

No deposit bonuses at Swift online casino

At the time of writing, Swift Casino didn’t have no deposit bonuses. However, the casino’s bonus policy states that winnings from no deposit bonuses are limited to £100 or two times the bonus amount. This implies it may occasionally release these promotions.

Luckily, this casino still has a lot to enjoy, including bonus codes, spin promotions, and tournaments. Keep reading to learn more about some of the best bonuses you can find at Swift Casino:

Swift online casino bonus codes

There were no offers that required a bonus code at the time of review, although this may change, so keep an eye on your personal promotions page once registered.

Swift online casino spins bonus

Swift Casino doesn’t have any spins bonuses besides the welcome offer. Still, the site regularly provides players with new promotions, some of which may include free spins. You can check the latest promotions by visiting the “Daily Picks” page.

However, players can still win free spins at the casino by entering tournaments. Most competitions reward the top players with 100 to 250 free spins. Sounds like a good deal, doesn’t it?

Other Swift online casino bonuses

If you’re as competitive as we are, you’ll love Swift Casino’s tournaments. The site has an extensive tournament section where you can enter numerous competitions. There are two ways to enter the casino’s competitions:

Free rolls – These tournaments don’t have an entry fee. As such, you’ll be ready to compete as soon as you click “Join”.

Live casino

The live dealer section is powered by Playtech, Pragmatic Play, and Evolution. You’ll find dozens of games, including poker, baccarat, lotto, and roulette.

Players can contact Swift Casino via email or live chat. We had difficulty finding the latter, as it’s only available on the casino’s registration page or if you’re a registered user. The staff is highly professional, providing detailed and helpful answers.

It’s worth noting customer support isn’t available 24/7. However, most live chat queries are answered within six hours. The casino also has two FAQ sections – one on the site’s footer and in the live chat.

How to join Swift online casino’s VIP program

Swift Casino mentions a VIP club before you register, but UK players will find no clear info on this once they’ve signed up. Instead, there are Levels you can climb by earning points from wagering on casino games. Each Level rewards you with exclusive bonuses, such as free spins.

How does Swift online casino encourage responsible gambling?

Swift Casino helps players stay in control. It has multiple responsible gambling resources, including deposit limits, reality checks, and self-exclusion. The site also has links to organisations like BeGambleAware, GamCare, and Gambling Therapy.

Would we play at Swift online casino?

Of course. Swift Casino offers thousands of games, safe banking options, and a generous loyalty points program. We also liked how the website doesn’t have a minimum withdrawal, although it must be requested manually.

However, there’s still room for improvement. The wagering requirements for the welcome bonus are higher than other UK casinos, which may disappoint players. In addition, the casino’s live chat isn’t available 24/7. Either way, we recommend signing up for an account.

How I ranked the best football bookies

when reviewing popular UK bookies I considered several measures and reviews to compile the best football betting sites in the UK. After several analyses and experiments on these sites, I ranked the top sites according to our criteria:

The range of football games and leagues that are available on online betting websites. Some bookies focus on the major leagues only. However, the best UK bookies include all the professional football leagues, semi-pro leagues, to the lowest-ranked leagues to give the bettors a wide range of selections.
The betting odds of each event and how dynamic they change. The betting odds are the key to attracting UK gamblers because they define how much a player will gain upon their wagers. Therefore, it’s essential to have quality betting odds.
The betting options available at each match and the possibility of having a bet builder. Besides choosing single and multi bets, the listed UK sportsbooks include additional betting types like over/under, parlays, accumulator, and others.
Live betting options. Lots of bettors enjoy the excitement of live betting as the match flows, which makes the players attached to their phones and glued to the match screen, waiting for the final whistle to check if they won as well.
The possibility to cash out during the event, where players prefer to withdraw their wagers before the final whistle and take partial cashout at a percent defined by the betting site. If cash out is important to you, we have reviewed all of the best cash out betting sites.
Mobile betting apps. There’s an increasing number of football fans who place their bets on the go, making it easier for them to gamble on different matches without waiting to get home on their PC. Fortunately for them, we have rated the best betting apps available today.
The customer service and other players’ reviews of the website, and how fast you can get help around in the website using email, live chat, and phone number. We also made sure to choose sites with an easy registration process for their new members.
Deposit and withdrawal options. Having a range of payment methods is important for many bettors. Betting sites that accept PayPal are particularly popular with UK punters. The minimum deposit is also important to some users and we have put together a list of the best £5 minimum deposit bookies especially for these people.
Finally, the last criterion we considered is the availability and diversity of bonuses. Many players choose a specific football betting site in the UK based on the bonus offered to bettors, such as the welcome bonus, as these promos can multiply their gains. When looking at bonuses, we also made sure to check out the wagering requirements for each bonus. Betting offers for existing customers is also a key consideration.

What are the most popular football betting markets?

There are multiple football betting options for punters. Let’s go over some of the most popular ones:

Result: This is the most common type of bet to place. This is a bet on the winner of the game, with three options being available – home, away, or draw.

Goalscorer markets: Goalscorer markets focus on who you think will be the one who scores in a game. The most common type of goalscorer markets is a first goalscorer and anytime goalscorer.

Both teams to score: Both teams to score, often abbreviated to BTTS, is a simple yes or no bet on whether you believe both teams will find the net in a match.

Over/Under: Over/under markets are bets where you bet on a certain outcome being over or under a certain number. The most common over/under bet is for goals, though, you can also find them for cards, shots on target, and some other in-game stats.

Handicap: A handicap bet is when you place a team at a hypothetical disadvantage. For example, you may bet on Man City to beat Wolves but give City a -2 handicap. In this instance, Man City would need to beat Wolves by three goals for you to win your bet.

Proposition markets: There is an increasing number of proposition (prop) markets for punters to bet on. These are often based on smaller incidents in the game such as a player getting carded or having a shot.

Accas (Accumulators): Accumulators, or accas as they are affectionately known, are one of the most popular types of bets that players can place. These are bets that involve four or more selections, where all selections must come in for the bet to win. These often offer big payouts and are extremely attractive for that reason.

A qualifying deposit is a great way to get started with sports betting, as it allows you to take advantage of any special promotions or bonuses that may be available, and it also gives you the opportunity to place a money bet on your favourite sporting event with a minimum amount of risk.

How do accumulator bets work?

A football accumulator bet, otherwise known as an acca, is a type of bet which combines multiple bets, of four or more, into a single bet. Accas are high-risk bets but can offer huge returns if successful as all selections need to come in.

Example

In a football accumulator, a bettor makes a selection of four or more match outcomes: say Manchester United, Liverpool, Manchester City, and Juventus to win over a weekend, and all of those are combined into one single bet. If all of the teams win it will be much more profitable than placing 4 single bets. However, if even just one team loses the bet will be settled as a loser.

How to choose a bookmaker and sign up:

Do your research. Check reviews from both customers and experts to determine whether a bookie is right for you.
Head over to your selected bookie and find the ‘sign-up’ or ‘register’ option.
Follow the sign-up instructions. You will need to fill in a form about your personal details and verify them.
Remember to take advantage of any available sign-up bonuses.
Find your chosen sport and market and place your bet.

What are the most popular UK betting sites?

With so many sports to bet on the UK sports betting market is highly attractive to operators. However, not every brand has won over the hearts and wallets of British bettors. Here is a list of the most popular betting sites in the UK.bet365

William Hill
Ladbrokes
bet365
888sport
Unibet
Betway
BetVictor
Betfred

Is bet365 the best betting site?

bet365 is one of the best betting sites with the best football odds available to players in the UK. Whether it is the best or not will come down to personal preference and what you are looking for from a bookie. The range of markets at bet365 is fairly unrivaled, and it has some of the best specials and features on the market. If, for example, you prefer more gamified betting content, then a household name like Betway may appeal more, but bet365 definitely ranks among the best. Both Betway and bet365 have excellent reputations and offer various sports bet promotions, so you really can’t go wrong with these sports bookmakers.

How easy is it to deposit and withdraw money from the best football betting sites?

Depositing and withdrawing money from the best football betting sites is generally very easy. Most UK betting sites accept debit cards like Visa, PayPal, e-wallets like Skrill, Neteller, prepaid cards, and bank transfers.

In order to make a deposit you simply select the payment method you would like to use, enter the amount you would like to deposit, and then confirm the transaction.

When it comes to bonuses, bear in mind that each welcome offer will have a minimum deposit requirement in addition to wagering requirements. Check whether the website has any payment restrictions and whether it supports the payment method of your choice. For example, some websites will only let you pay with a debit card so make sure you have all the right information before choosing your operator.

Which bookmaker has the best odds for betting on football?

This will depend on the market you are looking for. bet365 tends to offer the best odds on prop markets, and it also has one of the biggest selections of these around. When it comes to matching odds, it is tricky to narrow down, with all of the sites we have listed offering competitive odds. We recommend comparing odds before you commit to a bet, with some bookies, such as Unibet, often offering enhanced odds on specific matches.

My top 5 tips for betting on football

Do your research: We can not stress the importance of research enough. Placing a bet on a game you have no idea about is a very bad idea, and is one that is going to result in you losing money. Making the correct game predictions isn’t easy. Taking the time to research the games you are betting on will reap rewards in the long run. Getting into the habit of checking stats, following football odds with various bookies, and watching games will increase your chances of landing big wins.
Make sure you understand betting markets: As well as having a sound knowledge of the game you are betting on, you will also want to make sure you understand what each bet means. There is nothing more frustrating than thinking you’ve won a bet, only to find out that you hadn’t bet on what you initially thought. As a rule, if you don’t understand what something means, don’t bet on it.
Keep track of your bets: There are two reasons you should do this – the first, and most important, is that it will help you monitor your online gambling habits. If you feel as though you are losing control, you can reach out to one of the many responsible gambling tools available. Secondly, it will help you monitor what kinds of bets have worked for you, and which ones haven’t. This allows you to gamble more responsibly and improve your chances of a win.
Take advantage of bonuses: With so many bookies offering football markets these days, there is no need for you to stick with one that doesn’t reward your loyalty. There are plenty of bookies with bonuses for both new and existing customers, including the ones we have listed above. These promotions can be a great way of boosting your bankroll and saving yourself a bit of cash. Most bookies will offer a conveyor belt of updating promotions, ensuring that there are always new ones to enjoy.
Don’t bet with your gut: The idea of certain players or teams being due a win, or that certain teams and players are cursed in certain stadiums are the kind of things football fans love to get superstitious about. It’s all part of the game, and while you may believe in certain superstitions or gut feelings, you should never bet on them. When it comes to betting, stick with your research and cold, hard stats. Keep your superstitions for chatter down the pub.

Final thoughts on football betting sites

Just as no two football matches are the same, no two football betting sites are the same. We would always advise bettors to shop around in order to find the best bookie for them to place their bets. After all, sports betting markets are varied so make sure to vet everyone carefully before you make a list of your favourite picks. Also, keep an eagle eye out for any interesting Free Bet offers for new customers (especially no deposit free bets) as these are a great way to test out if a football betting site is for you or not.

Best new online casinos in 2023 – Online casino guide for UK players

Betting Reporter — Tue, 21 Nov 2023 09:30:00 +0000

New casino sites in the UK appear with predictable regularity, but which casino site is really worth your time and provides great value for money?

We took a look at some of the top contenders on the UK new casino scene and put them in a handy ranking, along with a mini-review, so you’ll be able to make an informed choice about where to play next.

Top new UK casinos for November 2023

Take a look at our top list of online gambling casinos and start playing your favourite online casino games:

How we rated the best new online casinos in the UK: Our approach

Welcome bonus

Welcome bonuses are a casino’s way of helping a new player settle in. They will differ from casino to casino, but all follow a similar blueprint. We have analysed the welcome bonuses provided by each of the new casinos listed and ranked them accordingly. The things we factored in are the deposit amount required to claim the bonus, how high the wagering requirement is, and how many games can be used for the wagering contribution.

Existing player offers and promotions

It’s not just new players that need looking after at an online casino. The best casinos are the ones that offer bonuses and promotions to their existing customers as well. All of the new casinos we have listed offer a diverse range of casino bonuses and promotions, and we have taken them all into account when ranking them.

Payout speeds

There is nothing more frustrating than landing a big win at a casino and then having to wait for an age for your winnings to appear in your bank account. We have assessed the payment methods of each of the casinos listed and checked to see which one offers the most efficient ways of getting your money back to you.

Casino games available

Filling up a casino lobby with slot games is easy, but doing it with ones that offer real quality is not. The casinos we have selected work with some of the best developers in the iGaming world to offer their players innovative and enjoyable gaming options. They also offer reasonable RTP and house edge.

Customer support

If you run into a spot of bother when spinning the reels or at the card table, then you want to know that it will be dealt with efficiently. We have contacted the customer support teams of all of the casinos listed to see what quality of service they offer, and how quick they were to deal with our problems. A significant part of the ranking depends on how responsive the client support team was to our enquiries.

Responsible gambling features

One of the things we’re certain of is that responsible gambling should be at the forefront of every casino’s operations. Casinos licensed by the UK Gambling Commission have a responsibility towards their players to offer support when needed. We have taken a look through all of the resources available at the new casinos listed and this has influenced our rankings.

How to select a new online casino

With so many new casinos popping up, it can be tough to know which ones are worth playing at. However, if you follow some of these criteria, you will find a casino that suits your needs:

Range of games: Game selection is one of the most important aspects of choosing the right casino. Good casinos use gaming platforms with fun slots and have plenty of tables with live games such as live blackjack and live poker. You will want to check out a casino’s slot selection before you decide to signup and play with real money. Of course, the types of slots and games you want to play will come down to personal preference, but it’s good practice to spend a few minutes looking through an operator’s selection before you get started. Do they have the latest software releases and live dealer games or does the games lobby look a bit old and tired? You might also want to go for a casino that offers a sports betting option along with its cards and reels. Some operators offer horse racing, football, cricket, and similar betting options with excellent odds for punters who like to combine casino games with sports betting. A lot of welcome bonuses are tied to sportsbooks as well, so it’s entirely possible to find a bonus offer that gives you free spins and some bonus bets all in one go. Having all the right information will make it more likely that you’ll select a casino that really suits you.
Selection of bonuses: What kind of bonuses do you want from an online casino? A comprehensive loyalty program? Regular free spins? No deposit bonuses? Do you want to be able to play against other people for prizes? And what’s the wagering requirement like? Make sure you spend a few minutes looking through a site’s promotional offering before you signup, as this can really affect your whole gaming experience. If it’s a match bonus package, check the min and max bonus amount, withdrawal restrictions, and whether it’s tied to specific games (e.g., Book of Dead, Starburst, megaways games) or game providers.
Mobile play: You don’t want to just be stuck to your laptop when you are spinning the reels. All of the casino operators we have listed offer mobile play for play-on-the-go access, but some will have easier-to-use mobile sites than others. Some new online casino brands will also offer mobile casino apps, which can add an extra level of convenience to the playing experience.
Banking options and limits: If you’re a particularly conservative player or a high-roller, then the amount of money you are going to be able to deposit and withdraw at one time is going to be important to your casino experience. The methods you can use to do so are also going to be a key factor, so look out for the list of payments that the casino platform accepts, generally listed at the bottom of the homepage.

Types of bonuses available at new UK casinos

While each casino will offer players different promotions, there are types of promotions that will appear again and again at gambling websites:

Welcome Bonus: A welcome package is credited to new players when they sign up for a casino – in fact, it’s often known as a registration bonus. Such promotions will often be a matched-deposit casino bonus or bonus spins-style promotion.
Matched Deposit: A matched deposit bonus is when the casino matches a player’s deposit up to a certain percentage. For example, a bonus may say ‘100% up to £100’. This means that the casino will match any deposit you make up to £100. If you deposit £10, the casino will add £10 to your accounts as a bonus fund.
Bonus Spins: Due to changes in UK gambling regulation, you won’t see casinos offering players free spins anymore. Bonus Spins, however, are the same thing. These are spins that players can use on online slots that are at no extra cost to them. Watch out in case you need to enter a bonus code in order to take advantage of this offer – although many casinos nowadays simply add the bonus on with no extra effort from your end.
Loyalty Programs: Casinos like it when players are loyal to them. Many casinos will offer loyalty or VIP programs that players can opt into to really take their gambling experience up to the next level. These will provide players with all sorts of perks and bonuses for sticking around and spending more money.

How to sign up at a new casino

Visit your chosen casino and locate the ‘sign-up’ button. This is usually found in the top corner.
Fill in the details requested. This includes name, e-mail address, address, and age.
Make sure to enter any promo codes or claim welcome bonuses before completing the form.
Verify your e-mail address and phone number if necessary.
You may be required to send further details to verify your age and identity. This will typically involve a form of a photo ID and/or proof of address.
Once everything is verified, make your first deposit, find your favourite slot or game, and cross your fingers. After all, anything can happen!

What’s the difference between playing at a new casino vs a more established site?

The casino industry is evolving at a rapid pace, and opting for a newer casino over an older one may offer some unique benefits. The graphics on the website will certainly be more appealing and ahead of the trends than those of a crusty old gambling site that hasn’t had a facelift since 2002. Newer casinos are more likely to offer great bonuses and features as they attempt to make themselves stand out in an oversaturated marketplace.

They will also be more experimental with what they offer in a bid to be more unique, and that includes the choice of games – from video poker to scratch cards, these young guns will have it all. And perhaps most importantly, they will put the safety of the gaming community as a priority with state-of-the-art security measures to keep your information safe.

Which new casino has the best bonuses?

As casino experts, in terms of winning potential, we found that Mr Q offered the best promotions. It has an excellent sign-up bonus and all promotions are wager-free, which makes them excellent value for the players, who are more likely to see their bonus funds. We are also big fans of the bonuses at All British Casino, with the site using its unique theme to promote tournaments and prize draws.

Are new casinos fair?

Yes. All of the casinos that we have explored in this guide are 100% fair. The casinos we have ranked have a license from and are regulated by the United Kingdom Gambling Commission (UKGC). Among all the countries that issue gambling licenses, the UK has some of the most stringent policies in the industry, so players can rest assured that they are safe and that everything is in order when playing. The UKGC also doesn’t allow cryptocurrency in its financial transactions, which is why you won’t find any casinos that accept Bitcoin on this page.

All games at these casinos, except for the live casino ones, use a random number generator (RNG) to determine the outcome of their spins/hands, and all payment methods are encrypted using the latest technology.

When playing at any online casino make sure you read and follow the rules carefully so that there are no nasty surprises down the line. Only use licenced bookmakers and operators with proper casino software.

Can I win real money at new casinos?

Yes! All of the new casinos we have listed on this page allow players to play for and win real money. After all, there wouldn’t be that much excitement otherwise. The amount that can be won will be determined by the individual slot machines or table games. Players can deposit and withdraw their funds into their casino account using a range of safe and secure banking methods.

How we rated the best casinos with free bet no deposit offers

We’re here to help you get started with the best bets that are free with no deposits for UK customers. The operators featured in this review were tested according to several criteria. See how we picked the top brands:

Bonuses and promotions

The first step in our reviewing process is looking into the bonuses offered. This includes the bonus amount, the conditions, and potential restrictions. We also consider other bonuses available for existing customers so eligible punters can keep the fun going once their free bet offer ends.

Payment methods

Ensuring operators facilitate payments is one of our priorities. Therefore, we only recommend operators with fast and safe payment methods. A good bookmaker will offer instant deposits and withdrawals, usually processed in under 24 hours. Bookmakers that accept PayPal are particularly appealing options for UK punters due to the smooth and easy payout experience that they provide.

Licensing and security

Licences are crucial because they help keep customers safe. To receive a licence, operators must undergo extensive testing regarding fairness, financial transparency, and security measures. This helps prevent fraud, data breaches, and other fraudulent activities.

Customer support

If issues arise, your best is to contact support. As such, top-rated sites must excel at solving their customers’ issues. They usually offer 24/7 live chat or phone support so punters can quickly reach out to the staff. Additionally, some brands offer extensive FAQ sections and detailed terms to help customers get around.

As the name implies, free bets no deposit let you place bets on games or wagers for free. They’re one of the favourite bonuses for UK sports betting punters. Free bets typically have a set cash value assigned – for example, £5. Punters can use free bets to win real money rewards if they complete the casino’s requirements.

The bonus credit is usually given to players following registration on the website, but there are exceptions. Casinos sometimes credit free bets as part of a promotion around a specific game, software provider, or holiday.

Key things to look out for in a casino free bets offer

You should take your time to learn everything you can about casino free bets before getting started. Here are the four key aspects to pay attention to:

Wagering requirements: Bonuses with fair wagering requirements attract more people as they’re easier to complete. Bets free no deposits UK bonuses typically have stricter requirements.
Maximum winnings: Since they’re free, operators usually limit the maximum winnings players can obtain with a free bet no deposit bonus. In this case, the terms and conditions should clearly state what the max win is.
Time limit: Sites require players to get started with their free bets as soon as possible. Otherwise, they risk voiding their bonus.
Country restrictions: Some free bet no deposit offers may only be available to players in certain markets. With the no deposit offers on our list, you can rest assured that all are available to players in the United Kingdom.

Can existing players claim free casino bets?

This depends on the bonus being offered. If free bets no deposits are part of a welcome package, then they’ll only be available to new players, and already valid players will, unfortunately, be excluded. Fortunately, some sites are known for occasionally launching exclusive promotions for existing players. Other promotions, such as tournaments, can include free bets as rewards.

What’s better – casino free bets or no deposit bonuses?

The answer to this question depends on your preferences. If you’re playing on a budget, it’s best to resort to no deposit bonuses. But these are subject to higher wagering requirements, making them harder to complete. These bonuses are subject to a maximum winning limit. If it’s a question of funds, you may want to check out our top low-deposit betting sites instead.

On the other hand, traditional casino free bets are typically more generous in what they offer to players.

Sometimes you will need to enter a promotional code to claim your casino free bets – other times it will be applied automatically. Always check to make sure that you’re fulfilling the terms and conditions tied to the bonus bet.

Top 10 bookies with fast withdrawal in the UK for November 2023

Betting Reporter — Tue, 21 Nov 2023 08:40:00 +0000

Funding an online betting account is quick and easy, and playing and betting on your favourite sports is exciting, especially when you’re winning. However, withdrawing those winnings is another story.

After the hassle of meeting wagering requirements, you then often have to wait days to get your hands on the money you’ve withdrawn from a sportsbook.

It seems like gambling sites have been listening to the complaints of many bettors and are now acting to ensure there are faster withdrawal payments. More top UK betting sites feature withdrawal methods where your funds are processed and sent to you within a day or even less. If you’ve been looking for a fast withdrawal betting site, you’ve come to the right place.

Best fast withdrawal betting sites in the UK

How we test the fastest withdrawal bookmakers

The elements that make up a good sportsbook are trustworthiness, security, game variety, promotions, payment options, customer support, and of course, withdrawal speed. We’ve looked for and found these elements in the ten betting sites featured in this piece. These elements make a good betting site, but what makes a fast withdrawal bookmaker?

We tested the speed of each bookmaker by checking the list of their supported payment methods first. We had to check if they include methods that allow instant withdrawals, including Google Pay. Most online wallets will reflect funds you’ve sent to them from a betting site as soon as the bookmaker sends them.

Bookmakers can take a long time to process them and send them to you. Yet the sportsbooks we’ve chosen have a dedicated team dealing with processing withdrawal for 24 hours daily. When you request a withdrawal with Google Pay, for instance, it will be processed quickly so that you receive your funds instantaneously, within a few or up to 24 hours.

We’ve tested this by checking if when making a Google Pay, Trustly, PayPal and other fast e-wallet withdrawals to see if they’ll reflect within a day. The fast withdrawal betting sites listed here live up to this option.

Our favourite betting sites for fast withdrawals

Spreadex – Has many speedy payment options, including PayPal and ecoPayz.
Parimatch – Offers a FastFunds feature that enables withdrawals to enter a player’s account within 30 minutes.
kwiff – Most withdrawals are processed instantly and paid out within 15 minutes.

What are the best payment methods for fast withdrawals?

Fast withdrawal payment methods are something that bettors have always wanted from betting sites. Gambling sites have made it their goal to meet fast payment options halfway by having teams that help keep processing time shorter. Even central banks have joined in by offering fast transaction processing options.

Debit cards (Visa, Mastercard, Maestro)

Debit cards including Visa and Mastercard are supported by almost every betting site in the UK and globally. They aren’t known as the quickest way of receiving your funds, but they’re the most common way for most people to deposit and withdraw. The recent introduction of Visa Fast Funds or Visa Direct has drawn punters back to using Visa. That’s because the processing time ranges between 30 minutes to 4 hours.

E-wallets (PayPal, Skrill, Neteller)

PayPal, Skrill, Neteller and Trustly are some of the most popular payment methods UK bookies support to ensure faster withdrawals for customers. Withdrawals with e-wallets usually take up to a day to process, but depending on the site, they can happen even quicker.

Cryptocurrencies

Since their introduction to gambling sites, withdrawing your funds through crypto meant having them reflected in your wallet instantly. Cryptocurrencies including Bitcoin, Ethereum and Litecoin are some that you’re most likely to come across on betting sites.

What are the slowest payment methods for withdrawals?

There are certain withdrawal methods that players need to be aware of because they can take days to process funds. This is usually because the betting site does its processing and the bank also takes time to process the transaction. Remember, most financial organisations work only Monday to Friday if there’s no public holiday. So, don’t be surprised that some payment methods can take over a week to process withdrawals.

SIGN UP

Bank wire

Bank transfer or bank wire is one of those payment options where you forget about your withdrawal request for a while, remember it, check your bank balance, and it’s still not there. If you think waiting for five days is long, you’ll need more patience here, as it can take up to ten days.

Cheque

Not many bettors know, but you can request your withdrawal via cheque in a bookie. However, you’ll have to be very patient as the process is lengthy. You must first request the cheque and then wait for it to arrive. Upon arrival, you’ll have to visit the respective bank, deposit it to your account or cash it in. If you’re lucky, this process can take five days. Yet there’s also a possibility of it taking up to 28 days.

How can I improve withdrawal times?

There are a few ways to ensure that you don’t contribute to your withdrawal request delay. They include the following:

Verifying your account: Go through the KYC procedure right after you’ve joined a betting site so that you aren’t asked to do it while requesting your withdrawal. To verify your account, you’re typically asked for a proof of identity document like your government ID card, passport or driver’s licence. Some bookies can ask for proof of address documents like your utility bills or bank statement that isn’t older than six months.
Choose a fast withdrawal method like Google Pay, PayPal, Neteller, Skrill or Visa Direct. These are usually processed within a day on top UK betting sites.

Ladbrokes sign up

£20 in free bets

18+ New UK+IRE Customers only. Certain deposit methods & bet types excl. Min first £5 bet within 14 days of account reg at min odds 1/2 to get 4x £5 free bets. Free bets available to use on selected sportsbook markets only. Free bets valid for 7 days, stake not returned. Restrictions + T&Cs apply.

SIGN UP

Final verdict on fast withdrawal betting sites

Nowadays, there are several fast and trustworthy betting sites in the UK that bettors can take advantage of. E-wallets and cryptocurrencies have always been known to be the faster payment option, but banks are now rethinking their offerings and joining in with fast withdrawals.

When looking for a payment option that processes withdrawals within a day or less, you won’t only find e-wallets and cryptos, but there are also Rapid Transfers such as Visa Direct, which can be processed within 4 hours. Crypto withdrawals are instant, while most e-wallets vary between instant, 4 hours, 8 hours or 24 hours. Please don’t settle for a site that cannot process your withdrawal within a day; there’s plenty out there which will cater to your needs.

Best live betting sites and in-play bookmakers in November 2023

Betting Reporter — Tue, 21 Nov 2023 08:35:00 +0000

Live sports betting has become a big part of the online betting experience in recent years.

How we rank in-play betting apps:

In-play betting features

Top online bookmakers will compete with one another to offer the best features for punters. A key factor is the range of statistics that an operator has to offer. For example, BetUK offers tons of in-game statistics to help players make informed decisions.

A variety of sports and markets

In-play betting is becoming increasingly popular, and bookies are expanding the number of sports that they offer it in. Almost every bookmaker will offer in-play betting on football, but the best ones will offer it on more obscure sports and in some cases, non-sporting events.

User interface

In-play betting has a different look and feel to it than normal betting. As such, getting the user interface right can make or break an experience. The real-time betting sites we have chosen all offer a great user interface that makes place inplay bets as straightforward as possible.

Promotions

In-play promotions have become increasingly popular, especially during big events. Many of the betting sites we have listed will offer promotions and features such as enhanced odds or free in-play bets for punters to take advantage of. For more promos, take a look at our best existing customer betting offers and no-deposit free bet offers.

Payment methods

Users always need many options to deposit and withdraw their funds, and most will offer Visa and Mastercard debit cards, as well as PayPal, but many will also have Skrill and Neteller.

Streaming

Streaming and in-play betting go hand-in-hand with following races and the top football tournaments. The best way to keep up to date with the action is to watch it unfold using a live stream. Many of the bookmakers will provide alternative options if they are unable to offer a live stream. This often involves some sort of visual representation of the match accompanied by text commentary.

Pauses and delays

With in-play sports betting, every second counts. We analyse the speed at which a bookmaker updates its odds in its live betting section. Some sites are able to update their odds without players even realising, while others may have a slight delay.

What is in-play betting. 18+ BeGambleAware.org Please play responsibly.

What is in-play betting and how does it work?

In-play betting does as it says on the tin. It allows punters the opportunity to place in-bets on sports. This is a great way of keeping involved with the action, with the odds adjusting to the event in real time. Most bookies will offer in-play betting across all of their markets, with some of them even mixing it up and allowing you to bet in-play on TV shows and other events.

What are the advantages of live betting?

The biggest advantage of live betting is that allows you to make a decision based on what is currently happening. For example, if you are watching a football match and a key player gets injured, you will be able to react to this and bet accordingly. Betting before the match doesn’t offer you the same level of insight. You can also send changes in momentum and attempt to get ahead of the bookies when betting live.

What are the risks of live betting?

Live betting can be hugely advantageous, but you should also approach it with caution. In-play betting can often lead to people doubling down on their bets, and potentially losing more money. It is also not the best option for players that tend to be more impulsive, as it can lead to some bad decisions being made.

We recommend that players make sure to check through the statistics and not just place a bet the moment there is a price shift. As with most forms of betting, discipline is the key.

How do I place an in-play bet?

Placing an in-play bet is nice and simple. When you log-in to your preferred bookmaker, head over to the the menu at either the top or the right-hand side of the screen. Click on the section marked either live or in-play. You will then see a range of live events.

Click on the live event and you will open all of the betting markets available. From here, you can just follow the typical procedure for placing a bet. If an event has a live stream, it will typically be marked by a little TV or camera icon.

In-play betting tips:

Master your timing

In-play betting is all about mastering your timing. Keeping your eyes on the odds is essential as this will allow you to capitalise on any good swings. You should also use your knowledge of a sport to know when a good time to pull the trigger is.

For example, if a football match is 0-0 and the statistics are leaning towards one team winning, you should try and hold off as long as possible on this in order to get the best odds available. Of course, if you wait too long then you might lose your chance, but that’s all part of the fun.

Use live streams

Watching an event unfold in real time is one of the best ways to enjoy an in-play event. All of the bookmakers we have listed offer live streams of selected events, with some offering more than others. Seeing an event unfold, as opposed to just reading text commentary, can give you a much better idea of what is happening and help you make a more informed decision.

Read statistics

Almost all sports betting sites will offer up to the second statistics of events. Teaching yourself how to analyse statistics for different sports will be hugely advantageous for in-play betting. This can help give you an idea of what could happen next and help you get ahead of the bookies.

Which sports have in-play betting?

The majority of sports will offer in-play betting markets for punters – you will find live betting for basketball, baseball, hockey, golf, tennis, MMA, rugby, snooker, darts, volleyball, handball, even niche options like curling, table tennis, water polo, auto racing, and futsal; if there’s a sport out there, odds are there’s a platform offering live wagers for it.

The toughest sports to place in-play bets on are horse racing and dog racing. This is because the events only tend to last for a matter of seconds and the option to bet in-play is very quickly suspended. Football, boxing, and combat sports are among the most popular in-play betting options. You can also find plenty of cricket betting sites.

Some bookies may even allow in-play betting on novelty and TV markets. The Academy Awards, for example, may allow betting up until a few minutes before a result is read out. Likewise, popular reality shows like Strictly Come Dancing and Britain’s Got Talent may also have live odds.

bet365 PROMO CODE

Can I cash out an in-play bet?

Yes. If you were to place an in-play bet and you sense that the bet might not come in or you are happy with what the bookies are offering, then you may be able to cash out. Of course, not all in-play bets will have a cash-out option, especially if you have placed an in-play bet where the result may become immediately apparent.

Which bookies have the best in-play betting offers?

Many of the bookies we have listed offer great in-play betting offers to their players. In our experience, bet365 is the most consistent across the board and regularly has price boosts and other offers available for players. Paddy Power is another site that tends to offer great bonuses, especially for football and horse racing. If you want enhanced odds, kwiff is right up there, with the Supercharged Cash Out bonus being a favourite among bettors.

Final verdict

Betting in play can be a great way to maximise your online sports betting experience. The live betting game is always being improved upon, with operators finding new ways to engage punters with bonus offers and other in-play features. In-play betting can be an exciting way to bet and enjoy a bit of sporting action at the same time. As always though, we encourage our readers to gamble responsibly.

How we rank safe betting apps

Knowing how to identify a safe sports-betting site is a skill that all punters should develop. The following are some of the criteria we have used to choose the safest sports betting apps for our readers.

Licence: When you sign up for a new bookie, the first thing you should check is its licence. All sites providing betting services in the UK should be licensed by the United Kingdom Gambling Commission (UKGC). This information should be clearly on display. All of the sites we have listed are fully licensed by the UKGC.
Third-party testing: As well as licensing, there may be independent, third-parties that have tested the site and approved it.
Security features: We have checked the security features of all of the mobile apps we have listed. They all offer SSL encryption and secure ways to deposit funds. You can rest easy knowing your data is safe with the operators listed.
Transparency: As a punter, ambiguity is always something that is going to make you uncomfortable. All of the providers we have listed provide clear terms & conditions and make sure customers understand every they are signing up for.

Anti-fraud measures: Many of the top bookmakers will have anti-fraud teams dedicated to stopping fraudsters from scamming their players. With lesser operators, scams can be quite ubiquitous. Thankfully, the ones we have selected all have anti-fraud teams in place.

How to choose a safe betting site

Once you have checked the safety of a sports betting site, the next stage is to determine which one is the best for you to use. We apply the following criteria when choosing our preferred bookies.

Great customer care

Making sure that a player is looked after when they visit an online bookmaker is paramount to us. We analyze all aspects of the customer care team including its response time, availability, and knowledge.

Easy to understand terms and conditions

No one wants to spend hours reading through pages and pages of terms & conditions. It is, however, important that you take the time to understand what you are signing up for when you join a betting site. As such, we only recommend bookies that are clear and concise. The best bookies keep their terms & conditions short and sweet, with no hint of ambiguity.

Competitive odds

Of course, punters want to get the best odds available to them. The safe betting apps we have selected offer some of the most competitive odds in the sports-betting industry. We have also taken into account the speed at which the bookies update their markets and odds.

Check out betting sites with the best odds guaranteed

Trusted payment options

The biggest concerns bettors have around safety involve depositing and withdrawing money from the bookmakers. All of the bookies we have recommended offer a range of safe and trusted payment options. They also use SSL encryption technology to protect the financial data of their customers. It should be noted that players in the UK will not be able to make deposits and withdrawals using credit cards as per UKGC guidelines.

Easy sign-up process

There is nothing more frustrating than a drawn-out sign-up process that asks you every single detail about your life. We look for operators that provide a quick and easy sign-up process that only asks you about your basic information. Privacy is a big concern for many online sports bettors and the betting apps we have selected all offer secure and private sign-ups.

Safest betting method. 18+ BeGambleAware.org Please play responsibly.

Why make sure a betting app is safe?

The UK has one of the most secure betting markets in the world. The UKGC has strict guidelines and a zero-tolerance approach to any wrongdoing. By choosing a betting app that is licensed and regulated by the UKGC, you know that you can deposit your money and bet without worrying about where it is going to end up. Being able to gamble safely ensures not only the protection of your data but also that you can have a stress-free experience.

Even if a sportsbook app offers all the sports promotions and betting markets for sports like Premier League football, basketball, baseball, hockey, golf, horse racing, etc., it won’t be worth your time if it doesn’t have a UK Gambling Commission license, ensuring people are covered from the legal side of things.

The same rules apply with casino gambling sites that double as sportsbooks and vice-versa: Whether you’re playing poker, slots, bingo, craps, blackjack, roulette, keno, lottery games, or betting on any sport found on a bookie’s betting market list, check the reviews to ensure a gambling site is legit, has a good reputation, and has the UKGC’s verification.

Why you should only bet on safe betting sites

There are plenty of reasons you should avoid a shady bookmaker. The two biggest ones are your money and your details. Betting with an unlicensed bookmaker could lead to your money going missing or your details and data being sold to third parties.

What makes this worse, is that if you are using an unlicensed operator, you will not be able to dispute any of these issues. Betting with a UKGC-licensed bookmaker ensures that you have a governing body that you can contact to tackle any disputes that may arise.

How can I keep my betting account safe?

All of the betting apps we have listed here are safe and secure and hold licenses from the UKGC. However, there are still steps that bettors can take to ensure their account is kept safe.

Firstly, make sure your password is secure. Choosing password123 probably isn’t the best way to protect your betting account if you were to lose your phone or computer. Going for something that is a mix of numbers, letters, and special characters is the best advice we can give. Even better, get hold of a password generator and manager to deal with this for you. Updating your password every 90 days is also a smart move.

If the app offers it, we always recommend using two-factor authentication. This will require you to enter another code or answer a question before you can access your account. You can also add this to the depositing option on a lot of apps.

Finally, we recommend not saving your financial data in the app. If your phone is lost and someone manages to get into your account, you don’t want them to have instant access to your card or e-wallet. Inputting your information each time can be laborious, but it is one of the smartest ways to protect your money.

How can I check my online betting account balance safely?

Checking your account balance is a quick and easy process. All you need to do is log in to your sports betting app and click the display balance button. This is typically located in the top corner. Most of the bookmakers we have listed will have the option to hide your account balance. We recommend taking this, as having your balance on display, especially in public, can attract a lot of attention.

Is it safe to bet when using public WiFi?

While all of the betting apps we have recommended use SSL encryption technology to prevent hackers, we do recommend that bettors approach using public Wi-Fi with caution. Many of the early-day concerns about public Wi-Fi have vanished but there is still an argument that you are more at risk when using a public network than a private one.

It should also be noted that some public Wi-Fi may not allow players to access casinos or bookmakers.

Which payment methods are the safest to use when betting?

All of the payment methods you will find on the bookies apps we have listed are safe and secure. The payment method a player chooses to use will come down to personal preference. For example, some players may prefer to use an e-wallet like PayPal over debit card options, as they don’t want to share their banking details directly with an operator.

Just because all of the payment methods are safe, doesn’t mean that players shouldn’t take some precautions. We recommend that players don’t save their financial data in their betting accounts. This ensures that you will not have your funds taken if someone else gets into your account. What’s more, pay attention to which payment restrictions apply for bonuses, as you often won’t be able to claim a deposit bonus using e-wallets, and this will also limit your withdrawal options.

What should I do if I think my betting account has been hacked?

If you think your betting account has been hacked, you should contact your betting company immediately. They will be able to provide you with all of the information you need regarding log-ins and money transfers.

We also recommend contacting your bank straight away if you have concerns about money being taken out of your account. It is also a good idea to remove any cards or financial information linked to your account. If you feel as though you are unsafe, then closing your account and starting a new one is also a good option.

What to look for when choosing the best sports betting apps

There are many things that can help one sport betting app stand out from another. We found that these were the key features that all of our listed bookies had.

Competitive odds: One of the biggest factors that can set an app aside from the rest of the pack is the quality of the odds. With so many bookies covering major events, the ones who can make themselves stand out with quality odds are going to have an advantage.
Betting market variety: Another key factor is ensuring that the bookie you register with covers the sports you want to bet and has all of your desired markets. If it’s football you’re after, be sure to read our guide to the best football betting sites to help inform your choice. You can bet on anything from the Premier League to Bundesliga with top-rated operators. Otherwise, your sportsbook of choice should have all the biggest sports and sporting events included, like tennis, basketball, rugby, cricket, baseball, hockey, golf, etc. Simply choose the sporting event you bet on and make a deposit before the bonus bet expiry.
Security: Above all else, players want to feel safe when they are betting online, and that extends to making bets on an app. The gambling apps we have listed here are all up to speed with the latest and best security developments. This includes the use of SSL encryption software, and in many cases, two-factor authentication for security purposes.
Modern features: The sports betting world is incredibly competitive, especially when it comes to football and other top sports. As such, having useful features such as cash-out and boosted bets, as well as benefits such as acca insurance is something that can really make one operator stand above the rest. In-play betting sites are also in high demand as it adds an extra layer of excitement.
Bet calculator: For the modern bettor, having access to a bet calculator on sports betting apps is incredibly convenient. This tool calculates the potential payout, risks, and stakes of a wager, saving time and effort for the user. With just a few clicks, the calculation is done, and the bettor can decide whether to take the risk or not. This feature makes it easier to make informed decisions and maximize potential payouts while minimizing risks.
Live streaming and coverage: There is nothing more exciting than watching the action unfold when you have a bet riding on it. All of the sports betting apps we have listed here provide top-quality streams of major events. If they don’t have an actual stream of an event, they will still offer live coverage in some capacity or another.
Customer support: As well as feeling secure, bettors also like to feel like the operator has their back. Our top UK sports betting apps all offer top-quality, around-the-clock customer service to help you every step of the way. Good customer service agents can also help you with SMS verification or any other part of the sign-up process, explain payment restrictions for bonuses, and provide any type of support you might need.
Betting bonuses: Bonuses offering bet tokens if you make a qualifying 1st deposit, bonus bets based on your first bet stake, specials targeting racing bets, price boosts, etc. are commonplace with all household name bookmakers now. What’s more, there are mobile-specific promotions, as well, offering to up your winnings on say, a racing pool bet made on your phone, or a partial refund of singles or placement bet losses made on mobile devices paid out to your balance. This bonus amount is rarely spectacular, but it might just cover your betting needs for a specific leg of a bet, or bets on point spreads, for example.
Other bonuses: A good betting platform often has weekly and even daily promotions, but if you need more than just football app and want to try out casino games, then look for operators that also offer casino bonuses. If you like games like poker and blackjack, bingo, scratch cards, and even slot games and jackpot slots, you’ll be able to find an operator for you.

What are the common payment methods supported on betting sites and apps?

A bookmaker can offer everything, but if you can’t get your money in and out of your account with ease, then it is a waste of time. Thankfully, most top online bookmakers make it nice and easy to deposit your stake and withdraw funds with various payment types.

The most common method for depositing money is using Visa or Mastercard debit cards. It is important to note that players based in the UK are unable to use credit cards to make deposits for any gambling purposes. Card payments are also rarely part of payment method exclusions within sportsbook bonus terms, so you should have no trouble bypassing restrictions and getting your hands on those free bet credits as soon as you make a qualifying bet with a debit card deposit.

On mobile devices, it is also common to be able to use Apple Pay or Google Pay to make speedy deposits. These payment options can offer convenience and are also one of the fastest deposit methods available. Check out our guide to bookmakers that accept Google Pay.

Talking of speed, e-wallets like PayPal, Skrill and Neteller are also extremely common for sports betting. These allow players to make a deposit using a third party. Players who prefer to not enter their personal details often find that this is one of the best ways to deposit cash. E-wallets also tend to be one of the quickest methods for withdrawing funds from online sportsbooks.

Find the best PayPal betting sites here

Are bonuses still available on sports betting apps?

Yes. If a bookmaker is offering a bonus, you will be able to claim it on both their desktop site and their mobile app. In some cases, operators may run a bonus specifically for players on mobile devices so be sure to check out the promotions page when you first download the app.

This is true for welcome bonuses and no deposit free bet offers, as well as betting offers for existing customers, so don’t worry, you won’t be missing out!

Also, if mobile betting sites also double as casino operators, you might be able to get your hands on a casino bonus to use on slots, bingo, table and live dealer games, etc.

Which betting app has the best cash out?

Almost all of the betting apps we have listed offer players the chance to cash out their wagers. Having a good cashout option can be a lifesaver when you have a sense that a result that is currently going your way is about to turn on you.

The best cash-out options tend to be on William Hill and bet365. These two apps both offer up-to-the-second updates and keep you right in the thick of the action. As such, you can time your cash-outs really well and can quickly turn a potentially losing situation into a potentially profitable one.

bet365 PROMO CODE

We have done the research to find the best cash out betting sites, so take a peek at our handy guide to learn more.

What is the fastest betting app?

In our experience, William Hill is the quickest of the sports betting apps listed. However, this is very marginal, with all of the bookies offering a top-quality mobile betting experience, both on iPhone and Android smartphones, from registration to cashing out. The operator has a really easy user interface that allows instant access to depositing options and sports betting markets.

William Hill sign up

Bet £10 get £30

18+. Play Safe. From 00:01 on 18.10.2022. £30 bonus. New customers only. Minimum £10 stake on odds of 1/2 (1.5) or greater on sportsbook (excluding Virtual markets). T&Cs apply.

SIGN UP

In terms of payments, it will depend on which method bettors choose to use, with debit cards and PayPal being among the most efficient available.

Are betting apps free to use?

Yes. Betting apps are free to download in both the App Store and the Google Play Store. Of course, if players want to win any money at an online bookmaker, then they are going to need to deposit their funds and bet with them.

Instant withdrawal casino sites: Top 10 fast withdrawal casinos

Betting Reporter — Tue, 21 Nov 2023 08:20:00 +0000

Nothing is more frustrating than landing a big win and waiting days for it to appear in your bank account. The times are changing, though, and the days of waiting 3-5 business days to see your casino withdrawal in your account are getting further behind us.

Most top online casinos in the UK will now offer a variety of different payment methods which support fast withdrawals. These withdrawals can be as quick as a day and, in some cases, even less. Let’s look at what payment methods can be used, what casinos support them, and how they can help you in this fast withdrawal casinos guide.

Fast payout casinos

What is a fast withdrawal casino?

A fast withdrawal casino or a fast withdrawal betting site is a website that pays players out instantly once their payment request has been verified. This means the winnings can be back in your bank account quicker than ever. It used to be that casinos would make players wait between 3-5 days for withdrawals to be processed, but the process at fast-withdrawals casinos is much faster, with many withdrawals taking place in less than 24 hours and in some cases, near-instantly.

How to choose the best fast-payout casino

With so many online casinos to choose from, it can be difficult to choose which is the best for you. Follow this handy guide to find one that suits your needs.

Check the licensing information: The first thing you should do on any website is check the licensing information provided. Any online casino in the UK should be licensed and regulated by the United Kingdom Gambling Commission (UKGC).
Explore the games selection: Check that the site has the slots or games you want to play and works with top developers.
Head to the cashier: Next, take a look at the payment methods that the casino has. You will want to find one that offers a selection of fast payment methods to ensure you can easily get your funds in and out of the casino.
Sign-up: Once you are happy with your choice, sign-up and make your first deposit at the casino. Don’t forget to claim your welcome bonus!

Fastest casino payment methods

The following are the best methods to use at fast-payout casinos. Each of them has its pros and cons, with the best one simply being the one that suits your needs the best.

Skrill

Skrill is one of the most secure e-wallets on the internet and is a popular choice for both deposits and withdrawals at online casinos. It has minimal fees for use, and can process payments within 24 hours.

Neteller

Neteller is an e-wallet that has become popular among online casino players. The company is part of the Paysafe Group, which also owns Skrill. Signing up for Neteller is simple, and it offers a speedy checkout at the cashier and equally fast withdrawals. There are plenty of sites that support Neteller banking.

PayPal

Paypal is the most popular e-wallet on the web. It offer speedy withdrawal times, with payments often finding their way into your account in less than 24 hours. PayPal is popular because of its easy use, and it is often eligible for promotions and bonuses. If you’re a fan of sportsbooks, you can also find PayPal betting sites.

Visa/debit cards

Visa debit cards are still the go-to method for depositing and withdrawing funds with most online casino players. In order to keep up with the e-wallets, Visa has developed its own fast payment method called Visa Fast Funds. This is appearing in more online casinos and is likely to become the most popular quick payout method.

How to cashout at a fast withdrawal casino

If you have been lucky enough to land a win, head to the cashier section to withdraw.
Enter the amount you want to withdraw and choose the method you want to use.
You may only be able to use a method to withdraw if it has already been used to make a deposit.
Confirm your payment details and finish your request.
Sit tight and wait for the casino to verify the payment. Once this has been done, the withdrawal will be made.

Magic Red casino bonus

Do I have to pay fees at fast-payout casinos?

None of the fast payout casinos we have listed have any withdrawal fees for players. That said, some others may do, and individual banking methods may also have their charges, so we always recommend checking before you sign-up for a casino.

What is payment verification at online casinos?

All online casinos will have a Know Your Customer (KYC) policy. This involves verifying your identity and age before making any deposits or withdrawals from the site. You may also be asked to provide proof of funds. These are all responsible gambling and safety measures designed to protect you, so do not be concerned if a casino asks for more information.

How long does it usually take to cash out at an online casino?

This will depend on the withdrawal method that you choose to use. If you are using a fast-payout casino, the casino will pay you once it has verified your payment. Depending on your chosen method, this is typically less than 24 hours and, in many cases, is almost instant. If you are not using a fast-payout casino, payouts can take up between 3-5 days.

Under one-hour withdrawal casinos

For online casinos, efficient transaction processing is crucial for players seeking a seamless and hassle-free experience. Fortunately, there are several exceptional online venues that excel in this regard, ensuring that deposits and withdrawals are swiftly processed within a remarkable timeframe of under one hour. Here are some of these exceptional casinos known for their speedy transaction processing:

talkSPORT BET
Duelz Casino
MrQ
VegasLand
32Red
Betway
Luckster

Can I avoid withdrawal fees?

No. If an operator has withdrawal fees, you will not be able to remove them. Of course, the best way to avoid fees is to use casinos that do not charge them. You should also check to see if fees are charged for every type of payment method, as this may not be the case, and you may be able to use one that won’t charge you.

If I don’t have an e-wallet, can I still get fast withdrawals at an online casino?

Yes. While this used to be the case, many top online casinos in the UK will use methods like Visa Fast Funds. These allow players to make quick withdrawals using their debit cards. This method is becoming increasingly popular and will no doubt be available at more casinos sooner rather than later.

Which casino has instant withdrawal?

None of the casinos listed can offer instant withdrawal because the casino will need to verify the payment. Once this has happened, the withdrawal will happen straight away. Most casinos will allow customers to use PayPal and other popular methods to make fast withdrawals. All of the casinos from our list offer fast withdrawals. One of our favourites is Duelz.

Duelz Casino

Get up to £100 bonus + 100 bonus spins

18+ new players only. Min deposit: £20. Max £100 bonus. Max bet with active bonus: £2. Wagering required 100% match bonus: 30x deposit + bonus. Max win from welcome bonus: £500. 100 Free Spins are given out 20 per day on Book of Dead for 5 days in a row. Max Free Spins winnings: £100. Free Spins winnings credited as bonus money with 45x wagering & 3 days expiry. Full T&Cs apply.

SIGN UP

What casinos do same-day payouts?

None of the casinos listed guarantees a same-day payout for players, but many of them might be able to do it. For a payment to be made on the same day, the casino must verify it very quickly. Many e-wallets offer a payout time of 24 hours, but there is never a guarantee it will be the same day.

What is a minimum withdrawal amount?

The minimum withdrawal amount at a casino is the smallest amount you can withdraw. This will vary from casino to casino, and some will also have different minimum withdrawals depending on which method you choose.

What is a maximum withdrawal amount?

A maximum withdrawal amount is the most you can withdraw from a casino at one time. Most operators will have daily and weekly maximum withdrawals. The amount you can withdraw will change depending on the casino you are at and your banking method.

Our Tips for getting fast payouts at casino sites

Use e-wallets: Generally, e-wallets are the quickest way to get your winnings out of your casino account. Most top online casinos will offer e-wallets like PayPal, Skrill, and Neteller for payments. You will want to make sure you make your initial deposit with this method, as you may otherwise be unable to use it for withdrawals.
Check bonus terms: One thing you will need to be careful of when using a fast withdrawal method, is that certain payment methods are not eligible for promotions and bonuses. As such, you will either want to find a bonus that allows them, or just not claim the bonus. Of course, the former is preferable.
Avoid withdrawal fees: The listed casinos do not charge withdrawal fees, but that doesn’t mean this is the case for every casino. There are a lot of casinos out there that do not charge fees, so there is no need to sign-up with one that charges you for faster withdrawals.
Make sure your account is verified: There is no point in using a fast withdrawal site if you are going to slow the whole process down with identity verifications. The best casinos will verify everything they need when you sign-up, but sometimes you may need further verification for using certain payment methods. Ensure you have everything at hand if you need to be verified to speed up the process.
Check the minimum withdrawal: As well as banking methods, you will also want to check the minimum withdrawal amount. Casinos often have different minimum withdrawals for different banking methods, so don’t just look at it for one and assume they all have the same limits.

Wagering requirements

A wagering requirement is the number of times users need to stake and win back the bonus amount (as a sum total) to be able to claim any real money winnings from it. Obviously, the lower the wagering requirements, the better it is for the player. We have gone through the wagering requirements, as well as the other terms & conditions, to find the ones that are the most beneficial for our readers.

Ease of use

Not all mobile sites are created equal, with some being much more difficult to navigate than others. The best UK mobile casinos are the ones that make a seamless transition from desktop devices to mobiles.

How do mobile casinos work in the UK?

Mobile casinos allow players to access their favourite slots and games from anywhere. The UK mobile casinos we have listed all offer desktop versions of their sites. To access the mobile versions, simply head over to the website’s homepage using your preferred mobile device and browser. Players will find that the majority of the experience remains the same, with most operators simply minimising their site to fit on the smaller screens and be touch-friendly.

How to sign up at mobile casinos

Signing up for a mobile casino is an easy process. Of course, all of the mobile casinos we have listed also allow players to sign-up using their desktop devices. In 99% of cases, players can sign-up by completing the following steps:

Head over to the casino’s mobile site and find the ‘Register’ or ‘Join Now’ button.
Fill in the requested details. This will include name, date of birth, and address.
Enter your e-mail address, phone number, and chosen password.
Verify your details.
You may need to further verify your details with a form of ID and proof of address.

How to choose the best mobile casino in the UK?

With so many mobile casinos available, knowing the best one to choose can be a real headache. You can relax though because we’ve done the hard work for you. All of the mobile casinos we have listed above offer excellent service to players, with each one having its own strengths. In the end, the choice of which is the best is going to come down to a player’s personal preference.

Mobile casino games are sometimes made exclusive, with special graphics that wouldn’t work on a PC, and the gaming experience includes features that make playing on the move much more convenient.

Are there any fees when playing at mobile casinos?

No. You will not have to pay to use a casino’s mobile site or app. Every mobile casino app is free to download from the Google Play or the App Store if you’re using an iPhone or iPad, and all mobile sites can be instantly accessed using popular browsers like Chrome or Safari. Mobile casinos work in the same way as their desktop counterparts.

Casino reviews will also warn you if there are any scammy features at a casino, so read through them before you transfer your casino account to one of the available mobile casino options.

What is the best mobile casino in the UK?

All of the casinos we have listed offer their own pros and cons. Our personal choice is Duelz Casino. Duelz has a unique theme and is home to over 1,000 different games. The operator works with some of the top developers in the industry including veterans like Microgaming and NetEnt, as well as innovators like Hacksaw Gaming and Nolimit City. The mobile site is easy to use, and the casino’s unique battle-system feature makes it stand out from the rest of the pack.

What is the best mobile app in the UK?

Many of the top mobile casinos we have listed also have mobile apps that can be downloaded for free from the Google Play or App store. In our opinion, the best mobile casino app in the UK is 10bet. 10bet is one of the most recognisable betting brands in the country, and it provides top-quality service across the board. Its mobile app is user-friendly and it offers a huge selection of slots from some of the best developers in the industry (e.g., Playtech, Spinomenal, Yggdrasil, etc.). On top of that, you can also get your hands on an array of exciting bonuses and promotions.

Are mobile casinos safe for UK players?

Yes! The mobile casinos we have listed for you are all licensed and regulated by the United Kingdom Gambling Commission. The UKGC is one of the most stringent regulatory bodies in the iGaming world, putting customer safety and security above anything else, and you should always check your casino’s footer for the UKGC license logo before depositing any cash or engaging in gameplay to ensure your account will be kept safe.

How to withdraw money on mobile casino sites?

Withdrawing money from a mobile casino site is a simple process. When players have been lucky enough to land a win, they will need to head over to the cashier section and select the withdraw option. They can then choose their preferred withdrawal method and enter the amount. The speed of the withdrawal will depend on the method used, and players will typically only be able to withdraw with a method if they have used it to deposit.

However, if your mobile casino bonus was restricted to deposits from a specific payment method, you might face those same restrictions upon withdrawal of any bonus funds you may have won. For example, payment options for bonuses often allow all card deposits, but exclude e-wallet candidates such as Skrill and Neteller. Surprisingly, alternatives such as Apple Pay and Google Pay are often allowed, even though not many gamblers use them.

What payment methods are available when playing mobile casinos?

Each of the casinos we have listed will have its own selection of payment methods available. These will often include debit cards, e-wallets, pre-paid cards, and bank transfers. Players in the UK will not be able to make a deposit using credit cards as per UKGC regulations. The most common payment methods are:

Visa/Mastercard
PayPal
Skrill
Neteller
paysafecard
MuchBetter
Boku
Trustly
Bank transfer

Is iOS mobile casino better than Android?

No. Both iOS and Android offer excellent mobile casino experiences for players. The decision of which to use is going to come down to personal preference. The same applies to mobile browsers, with both Google Chrome and Safari having great mobile casino capabilities.

Top tips to improve your mobile casino playing experience

Don’t chase losses: This is the most important tip. Make sure that you do not chase losses and that you always gamble responsibly. It is important to remember that you are never due a win and that you should never bet more than you can afford to lose.
Experiment with different games: Mobile casinos will offer a great variety of different games, and if you want to get the most from your experience, we recommend trying out as many as you can. Sticking to one type of game can make the experience repetitive and dull, so why not mix things up a little and take different titles for a spin?
Take advantage of bonuses and promotions: Casinos love to attract new customers and keep existing ones happy. As such, you can always find a selection of bonuses and promotions to take advantage of and enhance your mobile casino playing experience.
Keep your phone charged!: Okay, so this one might seem obvious, but take it from us, there is nothing more frustrating than triggering a bonus round only for your phone to just shut off. To get the best out of your mobile casino experience, make sure you have your phone charged when you are playing. In fact, take a portable charger with you if you really need to. Trust us, it can be a lifesaver.

Different types of casino bonuses

The best bonuses come in different forms, and no one bonus type is exactly more rewarding than another. Below are some of the most common casino bonuses:

Deposit match

The casino gives you extra funds equal to a fixed percentage of your deposit. For instance, a casino that offers a 50% match ends up giving you an additional £50 for a £100 deposit.

Cashback

Here, you get back a percentage of your losses over a set period. If a casino gives 10% cash back on all losses during the week, you could expect to get £10 if you lost £100 on your bets within that time.

Bonus spins

This is a special offer for slot machine lovers, as it allows you to spin the reels of selected casino slots without touching your bankroll, hence free spins is the name.

Betfred casino welcome bonus

Stake £10 get up to 200 free spins

SIGN UP

No deposit bonus

This is usually a casino welcome bonus offer with no deposit requirement. In essence, new customers can use the bonus funds for free, but they still have to meet wagering requirements in most cases. Customers can use a bonus code to redeem their no deposit bonus funds, while meeting the requirements in order to withdraw any winnings from the bonus prizes.

Reload Bonus

A casino reload bonus is a promotion for existing players. Players deposit a specified amount, receiving a percentage bonus. Wagering requirements apply before winnings can be withdrawn.

These bonuses aim to reward loyalty, boost player engagement, and provide extra value for continued play at online casinos.

How do I find the best online casino offers?

You can find online casino offers by checking our site for all the latest bonuses for new and existing customers. Don’t forget besides being a useful marketing tool to attract new players, casino bonuses can be used to reward loyalty. If existing member depositors spend enough money in lifetime deposits, they might fulfil the eligibility requirements for turning their cash stakes into additional bonus bets, or much more valuable rewards that translate to real life, such as travel vouchers, casino lounge access, etc.

Table games are a great way to reward loyal customers, as they provide an exciting and entertaining experience, while also offering the potential to win big prizes and bonuses for those who play their cards right.

If you’re unsure how bonuses on some casino sites work, you can always contact customer support on a given platform and find out everything you need about account creation, cancellation, offer duration, wagering contribution rules, and how much you can expect to get from your bonus tickets.

Top casino bonus and promotion tips

If you’re looking to boost your casino experience by taking up a casino promotion, here are our top tips:

Always read the terms (never just opt-in)
Check the wagering requirements (we would advise walking away from anything over x40)
No deposit bonuses are king
You can always refuse a casino bonus or promotion
Look around for any bonus codes

Casino bonus terms and conditions explained

Casino bonus terms and conditions are the rules and requirements you must meet to be eligible for the offers and to withdraw your winnings eventually. These often include the minimum deposit, minimum bet, qualifying casino games, validity period, and wagering requirements.

The average wagering requirement in the UK for a casino bonus is 40x the bonus amount
The average size of a casino bonus is £100.
The average minimum deposit required to trigger a casino bonus is £10
Most UK casino bonuses require a minimum deposit of £20
The average time limit for a casino bonus before it expires is 7 days.
Most casino bonuses are made to be used on slots, so if you’re more of a table game player and prefer to gamble on games with a deck of club, heart, spade, and diamond cards, you might be out of luck with most casino bonus sites.

How to maximise casino bonuses

If you want to maximise your chances of winning during your gameplay, make sure to look for bonuses with low wagering requirements and good odds that can be used on the casino games you love.

Even though it might seem enticing, be wary of any deposit offer that gives hundreds or even thousands of percent in boosts on your qualifying deposit – anything above 200% or 300% is likely to be more trouble than it’s worth in terms of bonus wagering and weighting requirements, so avoid a wager bonus promising 400%, 500%, 600%, 700%, 800%, 900% in bonus wins, and especially steer clear of those giving out 1000%, 2000%, 3000%, etc.

Also, pay attention to the spin value in a bonus spins offer, and check if the spin winnings are withdrawable as real money at the cashier. Make note of any withdrawal restrictions on your games bonus winnings, minimum and maximum deposit amounts, a potential staking requirement, etc., in the casino site user agreement.

Q&A session about UK casino bonuses

Not all bonuses were created equal, and not all of them work the same. To help you choose, let’s cover the most important questions UK players have about their potential promos?

1. Can I win real money with a casino bonus?

Bonuses don’t provide any guarantee of a win, but it is definitely possible! Although bonuses may provide some extra incentive to play, gambling is still a risk-filled activity and there is no guarantee of a win, so it is important to remember that when playing games like live roulette, blackjack, video poker, craps, bingo, keno, or slots, you are taking a risk with your money.

This is even more true due to the game weighting included in every deposit match bonus – wagering bonuses always have to be redeemed on specific games (e.g., Big Bass Splash, Big Bass Bonanza, Aliya’s Wishes, Assassin Moon, Aliya’s Wishes, Big Boom Riches, Arena of Gold, Monopoly Paradise Mansion, Double Bubble, etc.), or you won’t receive as many redemption points as would be equivalent to your stake contribution.

For example, card games almost always have a contribution restriction, or aren’t eligible at all, while every slot game will usually contribute something, just not as much as the game options listed in the bonus offer.

If you’re hoping to hit a payline on a fruit machine, you’re in luck, as most casino bonuses are designed to be used on slots. If you want extra cash to use on something a bit more exotic, like dice games, you’ll have to make deposits on your own. These differences in game availability aren’t the same across all sites, however, so you might find a number of venues that allow you to take part in a promotion and spend the bonus sum as you like.

2. Which casino has the highest welcome bonus?

Different casinos have different welcome bonuses, so it’s impossible to tell which of them has the highest. Still, you can compare the offers featured on our site and try the ones that look most attractive to you. Out of the casino bonuses we listed Dream Vegas has the highest bonus amount on offer.

Bonus funds expire within 30 days; bonus spins within 72hrs. Full T&C apply. Please gamble responsibly. BeGambleAware.org.

CLAIM HER E

3. Can I withdraw my casino bonus?

Casino bonuses must be used to play games on the site. Only winnings from using the bonuses can be withdrawn after the wagering requirement is met. You will normally only be able to withdraw your winnings with the same payment method used to deposit funds into your account, such as Skrill, Neteller, PayPal, or a debit card.

However, many deposit offers have initial player restrictions on the methods a depositor can use to claim a bonus – debit card deposits (e.g., Visa, Mastercard, Maestro) are almost always allowed, but e-wallets and prepaid cards are often excluded from the eligible deposit types. In addition to these e-wallet exclusions and card restrictions, the bonus policy might also have country restrictions, and therefore withdrawal requests for winnings from the wagering bonus will also have to abide by these rules.

Other possibilities include app restrictions, required SMS validation for card payments, time limits, poorly distributed wagering contributions, game restrictions, and other measures set in place to prevent abuse by people who don’t actually want to be members of the site.

4. How do I claim casino bonuses?

To claim casino bonuses, you must first sign up. Once registration is complete, customers should read the bonus terms to ensure they are favourable, and then make a deposit if required, in order to take full advantage of the bonuses offered upon sign up. Many of the best casino offers available in the UK come with favourable withdrawal terms, meaning players can easily access the winnings in their balance without any hidden fees or restrictions.

Most bonuses are aimed at online slot machines (often with progressive jackpots) and occasionally live casino games, and some can be specialized for mobile casino play. Make sure to look the casino offer terms carefully to ensure you don’t miss any important details. For example if a debit card deposit is the only way to claim the bonus.

5. What makes a good casino bonus?

This is what we need to see in order to say that a casino bonus is good:

Fair wagering requirements
A low minimum deposit
At least 30 days to fulfil wagering requirements
No limits on how much you can win
Opt-out option exists

Casino bonus round-up

Bonuses can give you a good start to your gambling experience at an online casino whether it is from your desktop or mobile phone. Still, not all bonuses are worth the trouble, especially those with high wagering requirements. You can take advantage of our best picks, as we’ve carefully reviewed each one for your convenience.

Live casino games – Best live dealer games 2023

Betting Reporter — Tue, 21 Nov 2023 08:05:00 +0000

As live sports betting, live dealer casino games have become one of the most popular ways for players to play at online casinos in the UK.

On your screen, you can watch the dealer shuffle cards or spin the wheel from the comfort of your own seat, making the experience even more immersive. Plus, the chat function allows players to communicate with the dealer and other players, adding a social aspect to the games.

Our live casino game of the month for August 2023 is Cash or Crash – read our Cash or Crash review and start playing at Duelz!

It gives players the opportunity to deal with live dealers in real-life casino settings with their favourite games. These live games offer an authentic experience, complete with real-time information shared among participants to ensure fair play.

The pool of live casino offerings continues to grow by the day, and as such, knowing which are the best can be tricky. We’ve rounded up a list of the best live dealer games and casinos for UK players to help make that decision a little easier. With so many different options and new things to try, you’re sure to find a live casino game that suits your preferences.

Top UK live casinos 2023

Best live casino games

Roulette

No live casino section would be complete without some live roulette action. Roulette is one of the oldest casino games in the world. You know the drill – a ball is dropped around a spinning wheel that is partitioned into 37 spaces, depending on the version of the game being played, and you place a bet to decide where it is going to land. You can bet on various different outcomes, with the classic red/black bet being the most popular, although jackpots aren’t a common outcome for these wagers.

The most common versions available at every casino roulette table are European roulette, American roulette, Lightning roulette, and a few others. These games are often provided by Playtech, Microgaming and Evolution Gaming, as these companies are one of the biggest software providers for virtual casino tables and mobile games.

Play roulette at Mr Vegas

Blackjack

Blackjack is the most popular card game in the world, and a big part of its attraction lies in its simplicity. It stems from a French game called “vingt-et-un” and the goal of the game is simple: Players need to beat the dealer by scoring, or getting as close to, the number 21 using a combination of cards. At blackjack tables, be they live dealer tables or virtual, players are dealt two cards, and then need to make the decision to stick with what they have, or hit and receive another card. Besides the classic game, there are also numerous variations and exciting side bets to appeal to every player’s taste.

Among its variations, aside from regular blackjack, you can find Spanish 21, Super Fun 21 (a branded version of blackjack), pontoon, etc.

Play blackjack at 10bet

Poker

On the front of live dealer table games, we have poker. Poker is the chess of card games. Both in video poker and the live version, players pit their wits against one another in every round, attempting to achieve the best hand by using a combination of the cards in their hand, known as hole cards, and cards on the table, known as community cards. Of course, the game requires a lot of patience and judgement, with players trying to outmanoeuvre the others at the table to win. Like many of the other games on this list, there are plenty of variations, like three-card poker, four-card poker, Mississippi Stud, and Caribbean Stud poker, Let It Ride, but Texas Hold’Em is still the king of poker.

Poker sites are a great way to enjoy the thrill of playing online poker for real money, as they offer fast payouts that can be completed in a matter of minutes, allowing you to enjoy your winnings right away.

Play poker at Pokerstars, where you can enjoy everything from the classic style of Texas Hold’em to Omaha and more. With just a stable internet connection and a mobile device in your hands, you can participate in the exciting world of online poker, competing against players from all around the globe.

Baccarat

In the game of baccarat, players are betting on which player will have the hand closest to 9. In the game, both the player and dealer are dealt two face-down cards. Players then bet whether their hand or the dealers will win. If cards dealt are higher than 9, then they are added together and the first digit is dropped. For example, a hand of 9 and 3 comes to 12, so you remove the 1 and the hand is worth 2. There are various standing rules that can be played in the game, with different casinos playing in different ways. Be sure to check the rules of the game and the variation being played before you place your bets.

Play baccarat at 10bet

Craps

Craps is a popular casino game that is played with two dice. Players make bets on the outcome of the roll or a series of rolls. In these dice games, the players take turns rolling the dice and the whole game can get very fast-paced and intense. Since the rules are very simple, it’s fairly easy to pick up because of straightforward odds and numbers, but hard to master.

Dream Catcher

Live casino games don’t have to all be about cards or roulette wheels. Evolution’s Dream Catcher live game has become one of the most popular on the internet and it involves neither. The game is based around a giant money wheel. The wheel has 54 segments. Players then bet on a segment, and if they win, their bet is multiplied by that number.

Play Dream Catcher at Videoslots

Game Shows (Deal or no deal)

Ever wanted to feel like you’re in your favourite TV show? Live casino game shows give you the opportunity to do just that. Many TV shows have been adapted for live casinos, but our favourite is Deal or No Deal. The game plays out exactly as it does on TV, with players attempting to land the biggest win possible by beating the banker and making strategic choices.

Monopoly Live

Monopoly Live is an exciting live casino game that combines the classic board game with the thrill of a live dealer, giving players the chance to experience the thrill of a real-life Monopoly game without having to leave the comfort of their own home, while also having the opportunity to win big with instant payouts.

Play Monopoly Live at Magic Red

Alternative games

Although not common, live casinos sometimes include live versions of popular virtual titles, such as sic bo, bingo, pai gow, keno, lottery games, Big Six and other Wheel of Fortune variations, etc. Progressive jackpot games are also a staple at most online venues offering substantial payout opportunities in the form of cash prizes.

Why are live casino games so popular?

Live casino games provide players with an authentic casino experience from the comfort of their own homes. It allows you to have interactions with real-life dealers and other players, all while sitting on your sofa or at your desk, giving you the best of both worlds. For many players, playing virtual card games and slots just doesn’t do justice to the casino experience, and that’s where live casino games step in. It can also offer the chance to interact with other players and watch different games get played.

This is similar to the appeal live betting on their favourites at a sportsbook holds for casino players who are also fans of greyhound racing or horse racing, for example. The feeling of being plugged into the action and seeing your cash stakes multiply in real time is like no other.

With so many casino options available and ample game variety, players have the chance to customize their gaming experience to their liking, from choosing the type of game they want to play, to selecting the difficulty level, to even deciding the platforms they want to play on, making it an exciting and rewarding experience for everyone.

Our top 5 tips for playing live casino games

Aside from choosing a live casino establishment to open an account with based on standard factors like customer service, bet multipliers, choice of banking options, mobile apps, safety, the VIP reward programme, house edge, etc., here are some tips oriented towards playing live casino games specifically.

Learn important strategies

There are different methods that players can use when playing specific games. For example, Basic Strategy in Blackjack will help you make quick decisions about what to do with each hand. Likewise, in a game of poker, players can use Game Theory Optimal to help them make decisions. It is not possible to learn every strategy for every game, and none of them will ever guarantee a win, but they can help minimise losses and boost your enjoyment of the game.

Manage your bankroll

The key rule to gambling is to never bet more than you can afford to lose. Managing your bankroll is a vital skill that all players should master. Becoming bankroll savvy will serve you well and help you enjoy your live casino experience. Pay close attention to game weighting on deposit bonuses and the spins’ value in any offer you take, as you might end up wasting time and money if you don’t keep your bankroll in mind at all times.

By understanding and adhering to your limits, both in terms of the amount of money you are willing to spend and the amount of time you are willing to play, you can ensure that your live casino experience is both enjoyable and responsible.

Take advantage of live casino offers

Many of the operators we have listed in this guide will offer their players a selection of bonuses and promotions geared towards live casino games. Taking advantage of these can be a great way of enjoying some live casino action courtesy of the casino operator. It can also be a useful way to try out different live casino games, so be on the lookout for a bonus code, promo code, or reload offer, aside from the usual welcome bonus.

Casino promotions are a great way to get extra value from your gaming experience, as they can provide players with additional funds to play with, as well as special offers and promotions that can be used to increase their chances of winning big at the casino. However, be on the lookout for high wagering requirements for bonuses that build on your deposits, as they are a staple in the industry – this applies to live dealer casinos as well.

Other eligibility and collection details related to your casino bonus to pay attention to are whether it’s tied to a specific platform (e.g., the casino’s Android smartphone app), whether it’s a deposit bonus or a no-deposit option, or cashback, whether there are any deposit or withdrawal restrictions based on the payment methods used (usually you can only claim bonuses on deposits made with Visa, PayPal, and Mastercard), and whether the match bonus is tied to slot games (e.g., Book of Dead, Starburst, etc.). You can find this info on the promotional page in the bonus terms, and check out casino reviews to see how beneficial an offer really is.

Watch others play

In some instances, you may be able to watch other people play live casino games. Watching other players can help you understand the rules, and in games like poker, even improve your gameplay as well.

Table games, such as poker, blackjack, and baccarat, are a great way to have fun, as they provide an opportunity to practice strategy and hone your skills while also providing a chance to socialize and learn from other players, who can help you understand the rules and, in some cases, even improve your gameplay.

Mix it up

All of the casinos we have listed offer a range of live casino games for you to play. Trying out new games can be a great way of enhancing your online casino experience. The option to play tv-show games and bonus-wheel offerings like Dream Catcher is unique to the live casino world and it’s something we recommend players take advantage of.

If you’re looking for a fast-paced, exciting game of chance, then three-card poker is the perfect game for you; with its simple rules and quick payouts, you can play and win in no time at all, and with its three-card draw, you can enjoy the thrill of the game and the potential for big wins in just a few short rounds.

All in all, for a satisfying gambling experience at live dealer casino sites, always keep track of game availability for every bonus package, make sure you can easily reach customer support if there are some payment option compatibility issues (or any other reason members might need help), remember the spins value and ticket value when making wagering contributions, and check that there’s a link towards at least one gambling help body with your establishment of choice.

Benefits of playing live casino games

Live casino games are becoming increasingly popular among online gamers. With the advancement of technology, players can now experience the thrill of playing in a real casino without ever leaving the comfort of their own home. Live casino games offer a unique gaming experience that is unlike any other.

Players can interact with a real-life dealer and other players in real time, giving them the feeling of being in a real casino. The dealer will be in the same virtual room as the players, and they can communicate with each other through the chat feature. This makes the experience more immersive and realistic. Players can also observe the dealer’s movements and reactions, which adds to the feeling of being in a real casino.

Casino sites offer a variety of features that provide players with an immersive experience, such as realistic graphics and sound effects, making it a great alternative for those who can’t make it to a physical casino, even if they’re playing on mobile devices.

What to avoid when playing live dealer games

Like a real casino venue, there are certain rules and etiquette you should follow when you play at a live casino.

Customers should always be respectful of the casino staff and other players, be aware of the house rules and etiquette, and follow the instructions of the dealers; additionally, they should be mindful of their own behavior and conduct, as well as that of their fellow players, in order to ensure a pleasant and enjoyable experience for all.

First and foremost, it is important to respect the dealer. Live casinos have zero tolerance for abuse and you will be instantly removed. The same applies if you are interacting with other players or using a live chat.

Another thing we should stress is to never chase losses and make decisions based on superstition. Managing your bankroll is the key to having a good time when betting online, and players should never bet more than they can afford to lose. It is important to remember that you are never ‘due’ a win. Finally, make sure your payment options allow for fast withdrawals, so you don’t end up waiting a week for your winnings.

How do live dealer games work?

Live dealer games are streamed directly to a player’s desktop or mobile device from either a live studio or mobile casino. The location the game is streamed from is going to depend on which casino you opt to use, though, in most cases, game providers use studios.

Players will join a live casino game where they will be able to see a high-quality stream of the table, roulette wheel, or game set. They will then place their bets as normal and watch the game play out. When the result has come in, they can leave the game.

Are live casino games rigged?

No. All live casinos in the UK are regulated by the United Kingdom Gambling Commission.

The outcome of the United Kingdom Gambling Commission’s regulation is that UK operators must adhere to the industry’s highest standards of fairness, ensuring that players can trust that the results of their gambling activities are fair and that their overall gaming experience is a positive one.

Any casino caught cheating would immediately lose its licence. The best live casinos are also tested and approved by third parties, just to add that extra level of security and assurance for their players – look for the UKGC logo in the casino’s footer if you want to ensure the highest standard of safety at your venue of choice.

Which live casino has the fastest cash-out?

Obviously, you would always prefer to get your money sooner rather than later. If this is a particular priority for you though, we would recommend Mr Mega. Quite simply, it provides the fastest cash-outs around, with the processing time often being instant for all methods except bank transfers.

Payouts are often incredibly fast, with most methods offering instant processing times, meaning you can enjoy your winnings right away, while bank transfers may take a bit longer to complete.

Betting Reporter — Tue, 21 Nov 2023 08:00:00 +0000

Welcome to the UK’s premier casino guide! Find the best online casino sites with the biggest bonuses and most exciting games.

Fun Fact: The UK is the largest online casino market in Europe, accounting for 11.3% of the global market share.

We’ve done our part to take the sting out of virtual casino site hunting by dissecting them under our expert microscope to find the best of the best.

Here, we explore what makes or breaks an online casino site so you can choose your favourite based on our recommendations and simply sit back and enjoy the experience. Read on to discover the top online casinos in 2023.

Our list of the best online casinos to play at in 2023

If you enjoy gambling online, then take a look at our list of the best UK casinos that offer everything you need for a great experience:

How we ranked and reviewed the best online casinos for you

When an online casino features our stamp of approval, you can rest assured we have evaluated it from all angles. We use a set of systematic criteria to examine the best online casinos for gambling enthusiasts to enjoy a variety of casino games and activities.

Security

While it’s easy to give in to the excitement of a new casino, there are things you need to consider before playing. Your personal and financial information must rest in safe and secure hands. That’s why we check an online casino’s security, fairness and legitimacy to assess its risk level.

Any legit casino displays its license from a legal authority. This means the casino has a legal right to run online gambling activities. Some of the world’s leading recognized authorities include the UK Gambling Commission and the Malta Gaming Authority.

Independent regulation is just as important because it shows that an online casino comes under the lens of regulators such as eCOGRA. These bodies carry out periodic checks to ensure all online casino game and wagering offers run fairly. We also test-drive games repeatedly to ensure you get a trustworthy gaming experience.

An SSL encryption certificate shows you there are adequate safety measures in place to protect data exchanges. This means you can safely transact, make a deposit, or withdraw your cash or bonus funds without someone stealing your details.

Smooth gambling experiences

When you gamble online, you’ll want nothing less than all the bells and whistles. A great and expansive gaming library is crucial.

On top of a huge selection of slot machine games, and live dealer games, lots of players are seeking impressive progressive jackpot slots to chase the chance of a win. That’s why online venues that carry casino slots such as the well-known Book of Dead, Big Bass Bonanza, Big Bass Splash, Gonzo’s Quest, and Megaways jackpots immediately catch our eye. Other games that are popular with UK players include lottery, scratchcards, craps, and keno.

Free play is another important factor. Demo versions of popular slot titles let you take games for a test drive on your computer, tablet or other mobile devices to discover the ins and outs and see how you like them.

Using a phone, customers can easily access online casinos and make deposits and withdrawals quickly and securely through debit cards or PayPal and enjoy generous bonuses and a wide selection of more than 1,000 fun games from prominent game providers.

Hosting games from top software developers helps an online casino stand out from the crowd. These games also guarantee high-quality performance on a desktop and mobile device.

Sites running like well-oiled machines on Android, iOS, and desktop gadgets speak volumes. No one wants a glitchy gambling experience that demands frequent reboots or other actions. Mobile casinos need to be top-notch, as more and more modern players are accessing online casino sites from the comfort and convenience of their phones.

In the past, most online casinos had a downloadable version of their software and an instant play version to be accessed in a browser. With the advance of mobile phones and tablets, this distinction has been rendered obsolete and it’s hard to find a casino that still offers software to be downloaded to a player’s computer.

Welcome bonuses

Nothing beats a juicy bonus to boost your bankroll. The best online casinos offer lucrative casino bonuses and promotions, no-deposit bonuses, free spins, loyalty points, and exclusive rewards to engage and keep their players interested.

Our top-rated casino sites tempt new players with an attractive welcome bonus – no codes needed. They also feature regular promotions and VIP loyalty programs for existing players. Their VIP program may include a reload bonus, cashback offers, or even an exclusive no-deposit package. If you take advantage of no-deposit bonuses, you can win money without having to worry about any of the associated requirements, as you won’t have to make a qualifying deposit or playthroughs, and you can keep any winnings you make.

The terms and conditions linked to these deposit bonuses and offers are fair and don’t put players through the gauntlet to get them. This means aspects such as required playthroughs, fee spins value, wagering requirements, cash stakes, and deposits won’t put you out of pocket.

Secure payments

Secure transactions, speedy withdrawals, and instant deposits signify a high-quality online casino site. We take these processes for a spin so you know what to expect when putting your money down for a bet at one of our recommended casinos, and of course when you wish to withdraw your winnings. Before starting the withdrawal process, gamblers need to make sure their money is secure whether they’re using a mobile device or other way to gamble.

Great customer support

Having a good customer support team is paramount, especially since you can’t just walk up to a brick-and-mortar counter for an answer. We ensure our top online casinos have support solutions in place to tend to all the queries that their customers have.

Easy access and timely responses are essential. We know you don’t want to wait a week for a response. A customer-centred online casino takes your safety and data protection seriously.
