Bet365 Sportsbook: the bad 👎

Aesthetics This has never been the sportsbook's strong point. Its success around the world has really been thanks to its product and not the way it looks. What's the saying again? It's what's on the inside that counts.

Bet365 Sportsbook Verdict

We know the Bet365 product inside-out at BettingScanner. In fact, some of the team have used the app for almost a decade. So, when they launched their NJ app, there were no major surprises.

With the Bet365 app what is important to remember is that it is better than it looks. Unless your colorblind it is hard not to be initially put off by the brutal green, yellow and white design.

However, the user experience past this point is simply excellent. The sportsbook offers excellent odds on every sporting event. They have adapted to the US market by focusing on the in-play function which is popular amongst American fans.

As brand awareness increases, we are certain this sportsbook will become one of the big names in the US sports betting market.

Bet365 Welcome Offer

Early Payouts & Live Betting

Bet365 has a fantastic welcome bonus (arguably the best in the entire US right now), and offers the highest ROI compared the minimum wager required.

Once you get past the welcome offer, the number of existing user promos drops off a bit, but Bet365 is still the only sportsbook to consistently offer early payouts on all major sports.

Bet365 Sportsbook Mobile App

The Bet365 app is almost the complete sports betting app.

Here are the things we love about the app:

  • Easy-to-navigate Bet365's mobile app is one of the most tried and tested out there.
  • Great odds The online sportsbook consistently offers great value odds.
  • Excellent in-play function A reliable app that is not buggy and has no glitches is extremely important when you are live betting.
  • Smooth cash-out function Again, if you are betting live, or need to cash out quickly then you need an app that you can rely on.
  • Reliable payment options Bet365 are one of the only online sportsbooks in the US that offer Skrill and PayPal as options for both withdrawing and depositing funds.

As you can see, it is simply an excellent product. However, we don't feel the way it looks does the product justice.

The color scheme is jarring and the layout clunky. This didn't put off the millions of users Bet365 has around the world, and we hope it doesn't put you off.

Bet365 Deposits

The online sportsbook had many contacts in the industry before it launched in the US. Many of these included payment platforms like PayPal which the company had worked with for many years. It comes as no real surprise then that Bet365 has one of the best selections of secure payment platforms to choose from in both New Jersey and Colorado.

PayPal 10 minute transfer time & a fee of 2.9% of the amount that is transferred + $0.30

Visa/Mastercard 10 minute transfer time & no fees

Skrill 10 minute transfer time & no fees

Online banking 10 minute transfer time & no fees

Cash at Cage (Hard Rock Casino) A few minutes transfer time & no fees

Bet365 Withdrawals

There are slightly fewer options to withdraw your funds with, but crucially the online sportsbook offers both PayPal and Skrill.

PayPal 3-4 day processing time for withdrawals & no fees

Skrill 3-5 day processing time for withdrawals & $5.50 flat fee

Cash at Cage (Hard Rock Casino) A few minutes transfer time & no fees

Payment Inspector

There are two payment methods that we can recommend for use with Bet365.

The first is PayPal which is a trusted and incredibly secure payment platform that many of you will already be well acquainted with. Not only does PayPal add an added layer of encrypted security to your transfers but it also acts as a middleman between your Visa/Mastercard and your sportsbook account which means you can get around the pesky regulations that block withdrawals from a sportsbook.

The second is Skrill which provides the same service like PayPal. It is just as secure and just as easy to use.

So what is the difference? It all comes down to the fees.

PayPal charges you 2.9% of your deposit and a small flat fee of $0.30. Skrill does not charge you when you deposit funds but instead charges you a flat fee of $5.5 when you withdraw.

We prefer Skrill's option as you only have to pay up when you actually win. It also suits those that are betting larger sums. Let's say you want to withdraw $200 in winnings, then you are looking at just under 3% as a fee, which is better than paying 2.9% of your original deposit.

Bet365 Sportsbook: Odds

We place a huge emphasis on the value in a sportsbook odds, after all that is what betting is all about right?

The good news is that Bet365's odds, rarely fall below the market average.

This is one of the reasons why the sportsbook has enjoyed such success around the globe.

In New Jersey, you can usually find the best odds for NFL and NHL matches with Bet365.

When it comes to parlays, Bet365 brings its years of experience to the table with one of the easiest to use and most reliable parlay builders in the US. Although we do not recommend using parlays regularly - as you can often win more by placing the same bets as singles - we do think that Bet365 can offer some great value parlay odds.

Bet365 Sportsbook: Variety of bets

This is where the company's years of experience really come to the fore. It is simply impossible for a sportsbook to have the millions of customers that Bet365 has without offering a massive range of bets.

What we are really impressed by is that Bet365 have not only offered NJ customers their wide selection of bets but they have also heavily invested in the betting types that US customers are particularly keen on, such as parlays and In-play bets.

With Bet365 you can bet:

  • In-game For a nation that grew up betting in a casino, in-play betting offers a more natural transition online.
  • Moneyline the bread and butter of online sports betting.
  • Point spread this form of betting is particularly popular for high-scoring sports.
  • Totals this form of betting focuses on the number of points or goals scored rather than what team or individual wins.
  • Futures this form of betting is particularly popular pre-season.
  • Parlays everyone's favorite risky form of betting. Parlays are simply a series of bets crammed into one. The risk may be higher but so is the potential winnings.
  • Teasers are effectively a parlay bet and a points spread bet rolled into one
  • Props this type of bet simply predicts whether an occurrence will happen or not.
  • Round Robins are multi-team bets between three and ten teams.

Bet365 Sportsbook: sports on offer

We might sound like a broken record, but again, Bet365 has it all when it comes to sports betting options.

The sportsbook offers an extensive selection of baseball, football, basketball and hockey bets. The majority of American punters will be content with this selection.

However, if you fancy betting on other sports then you won't find a wider selection than Bet365's. Since the sportsbook is active in so many markets, it has been relatively easy for them to pull non-US sports events into their offering. So, if it is Aussie Rules, cricket or a good old fashioned game of darts you are into, then fear not, Bet365 have your back!

Bet365 Sportsbook: Customer Service
