Review by Dave Manuel
Bet365 Overview
This is my own personal review of Bet365, based on my 5+ years as a customer of the company.
I signed up with Bet365 in the winter of 2011. At the time, I was looking for an online gaming company that could provide me with access to sports betting, casino games and poker, as I especially enjoy playing poker and betting on sports, with an occasional desire to play roulette and blackjack.
Bet365 seemed to fit the bill perfectly and I haven't been disappointed, as I continue to be an active customer of the site to this day.
Over the course of this review, I'll discuss my experiences with the company, including my interactions with their customer service staff and some of my favourite things about the site.
Again, I actively use Bet365 still to this day and recommend them to anybody that is looking for a reputable online gaming company to join.
I especially like Bet365 for their wide variety of offerings, quick and responsive customer service staff and easy withdrawal/deposits.

Sports Betting
I would say that I am a sports bettor first and foremost.
I enjoy betting on the BIG events, such as the Super Bowl, World Cup and big MMA fights. Fortunately, Bet365 offers betting on everything that I have ever wanted to bet on.
For football games, I always enjoy betting on unusual props such as total number of corner kicks throughout the game. I often use Bet365's in-play betting feature, which allows me to place bets after a game has already started. By doing that, I get an idea of the flow of the game (which teams look strong, how the game is being played) and can place bets once the contest has already started.
For American football games, I love taking advantage of prop bets such as total number of yards rushed by a certain player or total number of completions by a QB. I feel like these props give me a bit more of an edge compared to the traditional totals/spreads.
For big MMA fights, I will usually stick with outright winners, though I will also do some round betting wagers, especially if I feel like there is a high chance of a fight ending early.
I also enjoy betting on the horses, and Bet365 has all of the biggest horse racing events in the United Kingdom available via their sports book.
Overall, I have done well betting on sports on Bet365, though it obviously helps to have an intimate knowledge of the sports that you are wagering on.
In-play betting is one of my favourite features that Bet365 offers, as I am never shut out of a game, even if it has already started.
June is going to be a very busy month in the sports world after months of inactivity.
A number of soccer leagues, including the Premier League, La Liga and Serie A are all planning on return to action in June.
In addition, leagues such as the NHL and NBA are continuing their plans to return, likely in the second half of July.
On top of that, the UFC is planning on hosting their next numbered event, as UFC 250 is scheduled to feature Amanda Nunes vs Felicia Spencer in the main event.
PokerIf I want a break from sports betting, I like to move over to Bet365's poker offering. I'll move money from my sports betting wallet to my poker wallet and be sitting down at a game within a couple of minutes.
I enjoy playing No Limit Hold'em cash games and I never have any trouble finding games on the site. I'll typically sit at some of the larger cash games and there is never any issue with finding a willing opponent.
I don't typically have a long period of time to play poker on the site, so I'll usually avoid the tournaments (of which there are many), though SNGs on the site provide the perfect substitute if I want to play a shorter game in a tournament format.
I enjoy Bet365's poker offering and it is visually appealing to me while being easy to navigate.
Casino
Let me be honest - I'm a tall guy that can't stand sitting on airplanes.
For this reason, I usually avoid places like Las Vegas and Macau, as the flights will typically leave me in pain.
To substitute the Las Vegas experience, I like to play Bet365's offering of casino games. Bet365 offers me everything that I want from a casino experience - I can play blackjack and roulette (my two favourite casino games) from the comfort of my own home, or from my iPhone when I am away from home.
In addition, Bet365 offers a live casino experience for a number of different games, including blackjack and roulette. With the help of cameras and cutting edge technology, I am able to play roulette or blackjack with a real dealer, with my decisions being updated in real time. Live casino action is one of the greatest innovations of the online casino scene, in my opinion, and I love playing with Bet365's live dealers.
Bet365's casino offerings allow me to play my favourite casino games at home without having to brave the airplanes and crowded hotels of Las Vegas.
Registration Process
The sign up process was super easy and took just a couple of minutes.
I needed to enter my particulars such as my full name, address, country, date of birth, etc.
In addition, you will need to create a user name, password AND a four digit security number so that you can properly secure your account.
For your bonus code, you can enter THEKING. By doing so, you will be supporting this site.
Once you have finished the registration process, you will need to confirm your email address so that Bet365 can reach you to alert to you any bonus offers that you might be eligible for.
Again - this entire process is quick and streamlined.
Deposits and Withdrawals
I have used my Mastercard to fund my Bet365 account without any issues. The money is always credited instantly to my account.
When it comes time to withdraw, I have my winnings deposited straight to my bank account via a bank wire. All I had to do was provide Bet365 with my banking details and the money was deposited into my account within 48 hours.
In addition, Bet365 allows me a window of time to cancel my withdrawal after I request it, just in case I change my mind and want to wager on another game.
I have never had an issue with a Bet365 deposit or withdrawal.
Customer Service
Whenever I sign up for an account at an online gaming site, I like to send an email to test their customer service response.
Well, in the case of Bet365, I emailed and received a response within a couple of minutes. In addition, Bet365 does a very good job of letting me know about big upcoming events, as well as other promotions that they might be offering at the time.
I have never called in for a customer service phone call, though I would imagine that Bet365 is as responsive over the phone as they are via email.
Mobile App
I have an iPhone 7 and currently have Bet365 installed on my phone.
Bet365 has clearly spent a great deal of money on their mobile app, as I have used many other apps from the leading online gaming companies and I would put Bet365's offering at the top of the list.
I had zero issues installing their iOS app and I have found it to be intuitive, nice to look at and stable.
I will often use Bet365's mobile app to place bets when I am out of the house, so I'm never removed from the action.
For instance, if I am watching a World Cup game at a friend's house, I can use the Bet365 app to play a bet on the second half using the company's in-play betting service.

Why I Signed Up To Bet365
Here are some of the other things that I enjoy about Bet365:
1. Streaming. If you have an account on Bet365, you will be able to watch a number of different sporting events every day via the site. For instance, I will often watch tennis matches or soccer games via the company's streaming offering. This really adds to the enjoyment of betting, as you will be able to track your bets in real time while watching the games that are being streamed. Please note: geo-restrictions apply and a funded account is required to use the live streaming service.
2. Responsiveness. If I have an issue with the site, things are always resolved in a very prompt manner. This is very important to me.
3. Early cashouts. If I'm not feeling good about a wager, sometimes I'll use Bet365's early cashout feature. In certain instances all I have to do is click a button and I will have the adjusted amount of my bet (the amount will be adjusted depending on how the game is going) refunded back to my account.
-
All in all, I am a big fan of Bet365 and the product that they put forward to the world.
The site remains my go-to for placing sports bets, playing poker or playing my favourite casino game and I don't see that changing anytime soon. The bonus to playing at Bet365 is that they also have great customer service and they process withdrawals and deposits very quickly.
As mentioned, I have been a customer for over 5 years and have played a large number of bets over that time, as well as playing thousands of poker hands. I continue to be impressed by the company and can see why they are one of the most reputable online gaming firms in the world.
