User Interface

There is no denying that Bet365 has one of the prettier interfaces in the industry. Their alluring green and grey appearance looks sleek and professional. Big events, live fixtures, and promotions appear neatly on the landing page to give users an idea of what is going on. The side bar sorts pre-game bets based on sport, and the top navigation allows you to move between sports-book, casino, and other options.

Live Betting Options

I believe it has been scientifically proven that Bet365 have the best live-betting service available. Most sports-books restrict you to a few live events, where bets can only be placed on a few main markets during a commercial break. Bet365 laughs at them – providing hundreds of live-betting games each day, with sometimes up to 50 different betting markets each. On top of this, they accept live bets at any point of the match. Even during the times where other sports-books close their markets, they are taking wagers. This means you are no longer restricted to commercial breaks. They even allow you to bet on games up until the very end of the match. Most shops close up during the last few innings of a baseball game, or in the closing minutes of a soccer match. Not Bet365.

And we are not talking about small-limit bets. For example, lets pick a random obscure match. The Paraguay Reserves League will do! First of all, its incredibly that they even offer lines at all for this league. Secondly, its incredible that they offer live-betting. Thirdly, its insane that they offer 50 different markets including next goals scorer, match goals, double chances, money-lines, and alternate lines. But on top of all of this, take a look at the wager size they would accept.

Yeah, exactly. And you could even request to place a larger wager as long as it is approved by an oddsmaker. Not that anyone would want to place more than $5,700 on a Paraguay Reserve League game anyways, just proving that despite Bet365’s casual appearance, they also have plenty of features that appeal to serious sports-bettors including high limit wagers.

Bet365 also provides a dynamic cash-out option. If you would like to take the money and run on any wager you placed (regardless if it was pre-game or live), you can simply click this button to automatically hedge your bet. It compares your wager to the current live-odds, and gives you an appropriate payout. No more struggling to calculate the correct hedge value. One click and you are done.

Quality of Odds

Bet365 ranks in the upper-tier of sports-books when it comes to competitive odds. You will receive fair lines, without any off-balance to the square or sharp side. There are a few instances where certain markets may have 18-cent lines instead of 10 (increasing the house advantage). I am not docking them too many marks since this has only been observed with certain in-demand live-betting markets. Pre-game lines are always standard.

Deposit Time and Methods

Bet365 offers a ton of deposit methods depending on your location. The majority of areas supported will allow for the standard methods including credit card, debit card, pre-paid cards, bank-wire transfer, entropay, and cheque. Bet365 are one of the few sports-books that accept eWallet transfers. Using services such as iDebit and InstaDebit will act as middlemen to allow you to safely transfer funds between your bank account and your sports-book balance.

The majority of their deposit methods are instant with no fee. Here are a look at the deposit methods available for Canada:

Withdraw Time and Methods

Bet365 offers the quickest withdraw times amongst all of the leading sports-books. Their payouts will come within the projected times (in most cases, much earlier). This will depend on which withdraw method you have selected. The eWallet payments discussed earlier (iDebit and InstaDebit) are processed in under 24 hours, meaning the funds can be in your bank account in under 48 hours.

One of the few faults I have found with Bet365 is their policy that forces you to withdraw your funds in the same manner that they were deposited. This means that if you used an eWallet to deposit, you will have to use the same method and eWallet account to withdraw (or a bank-wire). This is normally not a problem, as most methods such as credit cards, debit cards, cheques, bank wires, and eWallets easily go both ways. However, this policy can be a hassle for individuals who choose to deposit using prepaid credit cards such as Vanilla Visa. In these circumstances, users will have to receive their money in the form of a bank wire. These must be done with a minimum of $60. Low-stakes bettors who wish to use a prepaid card should take this into consideration.

This is not a major fault, but something Bet365 should consider when looking to improve their service in the future. With their reliable payout history and speedy withdraws, I have elected to only dock them a few points for this policy.

The majority of their withdraw methods are quick with no fee. Here are a look at the deposit methods available for Canada:

Customer Support

Bet365 offers a range of customer support options by live-chat, e-mail, or phone. All of these options are available 24/7. Bet365’s customer support team have been very helpful and knowledgable. However, at times the queue can build up. This can sometimes create waiting times up to 15 minutes. This is not a concerning issue, but when drawing comparisons to the other leading sports-books, they are behind in this category.
