Best Football Betting Sites in the UK: 2024 Reviews

Bet365 claims to be the biggest betting website in the world, and given the sheer range of available football markets, that assessment is hard to argue with.

The Bet365 site also offers extensive live streaming and special options, such as its bet365 bet builder, which allows users to place custom bets.

In our independent tests, you will find high odds at 4.85%, a large collection of football matches from around the world, hundreds of betting markets, and live streaming.

Also, Bet365 has a fast, simple, and user-friendly mobile betting app and site for players who want to bet on the go.

Next up in our list of the best football betting sites in the UK is Unibet, a mobile-friendly sportsbook that is an ideal choice for those who want to place football wagers when away from home.

Unibet has plenty of special offers and promotions aimed at football fans, including a bet builder similar to Bet365's, which offers players the chance to earn a free bet on football.

The football bet builder on Unibet is good because it offers a wide range of markets to create custom bets. These include player foul markets, corners, player shots, shots on target, cards, and much more.

Unibet TV offers free live streaming across a number of sports (if you have a funded account), including football.

Overall, Unibet is best for live streams, pre-market betting, low betting margins, and outright odds for a wide range of football competitions and leagues.

William Hill regularly offers enhanced odds on football. Due to its long history in the gambling industry, the company is a highly trusted betting brand.

Unfortunately, without the enhanced odds boosts, William Hill's margins for football betting markets were 6.8% in our tests. Still, with the odds boosts, you get a massive range of football betting markets and some good value. But it's a shame their margins are so high.

Will Hill compensates for its high margins in the promotions category. You will find acca boosts, "TPG," a Top-Price Guarantee on match betting for Premier League fixtures, a free prediction game called "Stat Attack," in which you can win free bets and much more.

Finally, William Hill also offers a wide range of live streams on its Betting TV, covering football, racing, greyhounds, and more.

Ladbrokes is another top football betting option in the UK, and it could easily be your go-to bookmaker. In our tests, the football margins came in at a respectable 6.41%, which is not the best, but not bad either.

The number of football betting markets is comparable to the other top sites higher in this list, and there is an extensive bet builder feature, too. You will find some odds boosts, but only 3-5 for select games.

But where Ladbrokes really stands out in their promotions offering. There is a free weekly predictions game called 1-2-FREE" where you can win £100 in cash for correctly predicting the scores in three selected Premier League games.

There is also a new promotion called "Lucky Dip", in which you can get massive odds on random goals, corners and card bets. You will also find other football promotions like Acca Insurance, Early Payout and more.

Betway is a safe and trusted online betting site that has been in the industry since 2006. In terms of football betting, Betway offers a solid product with high odds of 5.87% in our tests, 100's of betting markets, a bet builder and daily odds boosts.

There are a few football-related promotions to enjoy, such as the free prediction game "4 To Score", in which you can win up to £25,000. You can also earn €10 each week through Betway's Free Bet club.

Sadly, there is no live football streaming on Betway aside from esports football games. But, Betway is a solid choice for the low margins, user-friendly design and football promotions.

Coral is another fantastic football betting option for UK punters. It is also one of our top picks for horse racing, but we will focus on the football product here.

If you are not already a Coral customer, the welcome bonus offers one of the best value sign-up offers you can find. But, that is not all. There is also a wide range of promotions (mostly covering horse racing, though), including free daily games like "Shake Up Free Rewards and Football Super Series.

Live football streaming is also available, covering a wide range of matches around the world, including the Spanish La Liga at the time of this review.

Certain football matches have boosted odds for select bets and there is a great bet builder with a wide range of markets to choose from.

Overall, Coral is one of the best football bookies to join, but it clearly prioritizes horse racing.

BetVictor is another top football bookmaker for UK punters, especially in mobile betting, which BetVictor is clearly focusing on.

However, the football margin in our tests came in at a whopping 9.13%. The only bookmakers higher than this are Paddy Power and Betfair, which are missing from our list.

However, BetVictor compensates for this with a wide range of daily odds boosts on traditional football markets and even bet builders. In fact, there were bet boosts on almost every game during our tests, which is maybe why they have increased the margin on the rest of the markets.

There is also a new feature called "Lucky Dip," which we have seen launch on a few bookmakers recently. With this, you choose your Lucky Dip market, spin the wheel, and receive a randomly generated bet and odds. It's an RNG model, which we tend to avoid as we like to pick our own bets carefully. But it could be fun if you want to try it.

Finally, there is a free-to-play football prediction game in which you can win free bets and cash by correctly picking the correct scores of 6 different matches. You win prizes from 2 correct picks up to 6 with a massive £50,000 cash prize pool.

Quinnbet might be a newer bookmaker, but the site is already becoming very popular for betting on football.

The football odds at Ireland-based Quinnbet tend to be very good, coming in at 4.08%, the best in our tests. Football price boots are offered daily, and you can also earn plenty of free bets by gambling on the Quinnbet sportsbook.

Quinnbet offers a wide range of football betting markets, but most options are hidden with a dropdown filter in the Bet Builder, making it difficult to compare the odds of different markets.

There is also a good range of football promotions, including Acca Bonuses, Red Card Insurance, Crossbar Insurance and much more.

The BoyleSports mobile betting apps are some of the best around, making this bookmaker highly recommended. No-lose bets are among the special football betting offers currently available on the BoyleSports sportsbook.

However, the football betting odds came in at 6.53% in our tests, which is higher than most other bookies on this list. Fortunately, BoyleSports offers a wide range of daily odds boosts to compensate for this in certain markets.

Boylesports also excels in the promotion department, with 15+ at the time of this review. They are not all football-related related though, with around 3 focusing directly on football betting.

Spreadex Sports is our last pick for the best football betting sites in the UK. It might be a surprise inclusion to some, but they offer a great product if you can get past the outdated and cluttered design.

To start, Spreadex offers above-average football margins at 5.30% in our tests. But, they also claim to be the best value bookie for the 1x2 Premier League market last season with an average margin of 2.1%. They use Oddschecker as a source, and it's likely correct, although we did not see these low margins in our tests for the current PL season.

You will also find daily price boosts on a huge range of matches and markets, including in-play and pre-match bets.

There is a bet builder with a good range of markets available, including player fouls committed, cards, player shots on target and many more. You even get a "Popular Bet-Builders" section which shows a wide range of "popular" bet builder picks and the odds. It's a nice touch if you are looking for quick inspiration.

There is also a new "Stats" betting section which is one of the main highlights for Spreadex Sports. You can bet on a wide range of "Stats" based betting markets, including player shots on target, player tackles, player attempted passes, player fouls committed and more.
