Although it has been running for seven years, Netbet is still considered a newbie to the industry by many, but this is not necessarily a bad thing. Of course, it has not had as long to build a customer base, but it is gradually getting there. After bringing in Ray Parlour to endorse the site, this is only further shown.
The site is owned by Netbet Enterprises Limited, so it will not come as a shock that they are an independent bookmaker with no sister sites. Again, this is not necessarily a bad thing, and we'll get into this. Indeed, below, we take a look at some alternatives which we would recommend for fans of Netbet.
As previously stated, Netbet is a solo organisation and in my eyes, this can only be a good thing moving forward. New betting sites often come in handy for punters with welcome offers that haven't been claimed, among other things. However, with this being the bookmaker being the owner's sole focus, it can definitely improve.
On one hand, there are some nice promotions available, as well as a nice sign-up offer as NetBet offers a 'Bet £10 and Get £30' for new customers. However, there is work to be done on the sportsbook and the app for it to be a top player in the market, lacking some features that others have.
Below, we have named some of the best alternatives to Netbet in the UK and why punters should consider signing up for these.
When looking for a betting app or site, Ladbrokes will not be a new suggestion for many, as it is one of the best-rated football betting sites in the UK, at least in our eyes. Formed in 1886, the bookmaker has transitioned through each period of bookmaking in the UK, and it has shone since the shift to online markets.
There is a fantastic selection of sports available for customers, and each sport has a fantastic range of different markets meaning there shouldn't be any disappointments with the availability. Furthermore, there are several nice free-to-play promotions offered, and this adds exceptional value to joining Ladbrokes.
Sticking with promotions, Virgin Bet is another fantastic option and whilst we are once again looking at a newer bookmaker, it is not a bad thing. Although the sign-up offer might be slightly less than some of the best sign-up offers, the 'Bet £10 Get £20' offer can be appreciated.
However, customers can benefit from a very good sportsbook - which is provided by market leaders Kambi - and some more fantastic promotions. Of course, the headline promotion is 'Fives' where players can win up to £50 per goal every week, but there is a nice horse racing promotion, where if your horse places, you can get your money back as a free bet.
The final choice we would like to put forward is Betway. Although the bookie was formed 120 years later than Ladbrokes, it holds a similar reputation in the industry as one of the big players. Once again, there is a very nice range of sports and markets available on the bookmaker, but it also excels in other areas.
Most notably, Betway offers four generous sign-up offers which target four different types of customers - a sports bonus (£30 matched bet and 100 free spins), an esports bonus (£10 matched deposit), a casino bonus (125 free spins), and a live casino bonus (£50 in credit).
Below, we have collected the sign-up offers and welcome bonuses that are offered by Netbet alternatives.
