Betano is one of the best and most engaging sports betting sites in the UK. The bookmaker is reliable, as demonstrated when learning of their partnerships with Aston Villa and the Europa League, some of the most esteemed football names in history. There are bet boosts accompanied by a thunder icon to let you know the highest odds, as well as live streaming and promotions on the majority of sports, not just football.

Pros

• Live streaming on racing, basketball, e-sports and more

• Price boosts and bet builder boosts across several markets

• Join the Betano Sports Team and spin the wheel to win up to £50

• Enter the Lucky Dip to receive a bet with a random selection

Cons

• Payment methods limited to debit cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and bank transfer

UK Free Bet Offer

There are two Betano free bet offers, one for football enthusiasts and the other for horse racing.

The UK football welcome offer is worth £30 in free bets, and you only have to deposit £10. You will then receive

• One £10 free bet which can only be used on a double, treble, or higher selection

• One £10 free bet on any football market

• One £5 free bet to use on the correct score market

• One £5 slot bonus which can only be used on Big Bass Splash and expires after 14 days

On the other hand, you can get up to £40 in free bets using the horse racing welcome offer, again by betting at least £10. Place a bet on a horse racing market with odds of 2/1 or more, within the first 3 days of registering with Betano. You then have 5 days after the free bets have been awarded to use them up before they expire. This will be awarded as a matched bonus, half of which will be a free bet to use on a horse racing acca, and the other half on lengthen the odds.

Sports Markets

Of the 35 sports at Betano, football and horse racing stood out by having the most price boosts, markets, and promotions overall. Nevertheless, you can find all kinds of competitions on the website, and even opt-in on the random Lucky Dip if you are knocked sideways from all the different selections.

Football

Betano is a football aficionado's dream, as can be gathered by the UK welcome offer specifically for this sport. There is also a temporary Europa League bonus when you make your first deposit of £5 or more and bet at least £1 on an outright winner bet for Man United to claim the Europa League title. If you win, your odds will be enhanced from the normal price to 50/1.

Little building blocks will appear next to any bets that are eligible to be added to a bet builder, which we thought was unique. There are also new markets, such as early payout if you are winning your wager within 80 minutes, as opposed to the usual 90 minutes. Other markets include:

• First/ last/ anytime goalscorer

• Individual players to be carded first or at any time

• First-half match betting, total goals over/ under betting

• Draw no bet

• Both teams to score

Racing

As so many betting sites in the UK offer horse racing, it is difficult to contend. However, Betano does a great job at diversifying the markets by featuring price boosts on a number of races from Auteuil, France to Tipperary, Ireland. Not only that, there are also bet boosts on doubles, for example, two horses to win. USA races are also available, with livestreaming coverage.

Lucky Dip bets can be made by choosing an event, like Ascot, and spinning the wheel. After typing in your stake and confirming the odds, you will then get a pre-built wager for the race winner.

Ante-post betting and each-way betting are also available, plus the extra places promotion on selected races.

We must also mention the Betfinder, where punters can select a meeting and answer a series of questions regarding the horse's ability, odds, jockey, and past races. Betano will then whittle down the result to find you horses that fit the criteria!

Other

There are several more great opportunities to place interesting bets at Betano. Baseball, ice hockey, rugby, cricket, darts, Formula 1, and American football all have special boosts and are included in the Lucky Dip, plus there is live streaming for many of these sports. Altogether, punters can opt-in to the Sports Team and spin the wheel to win a free bet by placing four wagers on any sport.

Payment Methods

The available payment methods at Betano are:

• Debit card: Visa and Mastercard minimum withdrawals are £5 and the maximum £30,000 (if you deposit with Mastercard you cannot withdraw using this payment method)

• Apple Pay: the minimum deposit is £5, the minimum withdrawal is £5 and the maximum withdrawal is £50,000

• Google Pay: the minimum deposit/ withdrawal is £5, and the maximum deposit/ withdrawal is £40,000

• Bank transfer: transfers made before 3 pm are processed on the same day

Withdrawals using Apple Pay and Google Pay are processed within 1-3 days, whilst debit card withdrawals are processed within 2-5 business days.

Betano Mobile App

As of recently, Betano has developed a mobile app on iOS and Android. The app is as sophisticated as the website and promotes the same bonuses. Emphasis is placed on fast betting, by depositing in one click with Apple Pay or swiping down to cash out quickly. Using the mobile app makes it easier to see the daily super boosts, upcoming matches, and betting live. Likewise, contacting customer services using the app seems more logical, as it can be found effortlessly and you don't have to scroll through hundreds of tabs to do so.

Why Choose Betano

Betano offers more than just a one-time welcome bonus and great odds. There are an assortment of features to try out and make use of.

Betano Sports Team

The Betano Sports Team is a promotion where you could win:

• £0.50 that can be used on all sports

• £1 that can be used on all sports

• £2 that can be used on all sports

• £4 that can be used on all sports

Punters could win any of the above prizes which are randomly awarded by spinning the wheel after you have placed four bets worth at least £10 each. Just opt-in to this promotion in your account.

Premier Predictions

As Betano are sponsors of Aston Villa, a renowned team in the Premier League, it makes sense that there is a football bonus for correctly predicting Premier League matches.

• Correctly predict the score of 1 game to win 1 free spin

• Correctly predict the score of 2 games to win £2

• Correctly predict the score of 3 games to win £100

• Correctly predict the score of 4 games to win £250

Whilst we have seen this type of reward system before, Betano is one of the only bookmakers to offer a reward for successfully guessing even one game.

Lucky Dip

As we have mentioned a few times, the Lucky Dip is an interactive feature found on the menu and homepage targeted towards punters who have no idea what to bet on. Just choose the sport (football, horse racing, entertainment, darts, boxing, basketball, rugby, ice hockey, baseball, American football, F1, or MMA) and choose the betting market you want to wager on. The odds are pre-determined and appear next to the market. Then, you just need to input your stake value, and a random selection will be chosen for you!

Betano Blog

Betano is innovative and keeps up with the latest trends, perhaps why they developed a new blog with tips and tricks on how to bet. At the moment, the addition is relatively new and there are only strategies on Cheltenham betting and the Premier League, but there will no doubt be more articles in the future. If you are using the browser, a new tab launches which is useful because you can refer back to the main Betano platform and won't lose your place.

Live Streaming

It can be a struggle to find a good UK bookmaker that offers coverage on all sporting events, and not just national horse races and e-sports. To stream, punters must be logged in and have placed a bet within the last day, or have a funded account. We recommend heading to the in-play betting section, as there will be a play button next to the available matches that can be watched. A feature like this is helpful when placing live bets, but it is also enjoyable and entertaining in general.
