Fitzdares is rather well-known among horse racing punters, having been a racecourse bookmaker for over 100 years. Founded in 1882, they only moved into the digital space in 2018, but they have already been gaining a good reputation.
As would be expected since the parent company is named after the bookmaker, there are no other projects being worked on by Fitzdares Limited, which is certainly not a bad thing as it allows them to focus on one product rather than diluting their attention.
However, there are several sites with the same sportsbook, due to the partnership with FSB Tech, and this means that there are several similarities between Fitzdares and the other sites.
As someone who enjoys horse racing punting, whether that be in person on a racecourse or via betting sites, the Fitzdares brand is certainly not a new thing to see. However, the app has bridged a nice gap in my eyes.
There is an exclusivity to the bookmaker in person, where punters must be members to bet with them and this comes with high fees. However, the app allows everyone to get involved and whilst there are still membership options, they are not necessary, which opens them up to new customers.
To elaborate on the introduction, Fitzdares doesn't have any direct sisters sites, but there are similarities between the bookie, QuinnBet, BetGoodwin and Fafabet, given they all use the same sportsbook provider: FSB Tech. Below, we take a look at these three bookies.
QuinnBet is perhaps our favourite of the FSB Tech sportsbooks, largely because its focus is shared across horse racing, football and other sports. This means customers have everything at their fingertips, which they may not do with Fitzdares, although there is nothing wrong with being a niched betting site.
Additionally, there is a pretty good sign-up deal offered by the bookmaker, which gives you 50% back of your first stake and also 50 free spins. This doesn't rival any of the best welcome offers in the UK, but it's still nice for anyone who is looking for a similar bookie.
The next sister site is BetGoodwin, and just by looking at their logo, you can tell where their main focus is. The O in their name looks slightly like a finish post, and this matches their focus on horse racing, much like Fitzdares.
We are big fans of the bookmaker and their particular focus on one area massively enhances the app, so they only get bonus marks for this, which is why they find themselves on our list of the top horse racing bookmakers.
Sticking with a more focused bookmaker, Fafabet directs their sights on the football and other sports rather primarily horse racing like BetGoodwin. However, the bookmaker still offers a nice horse racing area, meaning customers can still get a good selection of things.
Although the sportsbook is rather comprehensive, we do not see Fafabet as one of the top options on the market for punters, and it is probably our least favourite option of the sister sites. There is probably a market for it, but we'd rather go elsewhere...
Below, we have collected the sign-up offers and welcome bonuses that are offered by Fitzdares' sister sites.
