Paddy Power

The ‘cheeky chappies’ of the betting business, Paddy Power have been on the rise for some time. You may have seen their hugely entertaining and surreal adverts on TV. For a further taste of what they’re all about, you can take a peek at their blog. Paddy Power was created in 1988 from the merger of three Irish bookmakers. They haven’t looked back since and now have well over 500 betting outlets across the UK and Ireland. They are an innovative company and are big on social media (Twitter). They have all the offerings you would expect from a big industry player and ‘bonkers fun’ too. We love ’em!

Coral

Coral are a massive player in the online gambling industry, with a high street presence to match. With over 1750 betting shops they have a history going back to the 1920’s. A really good looking site offers every sports under the sun and like many of the big bookmakers they offer all the casino, poker, slots, lotto and ‘virtual’ action that you can handle. With their own radio show, loyalty program and ‘Connect’ card, Coral are one of the ‘must have’ accounts for punters. Cash bonuses or, for example, free football shirts are often part of the sign up package.

Bet Victor

Victor Chandler sold his stake in the company in 2014 but BetVictor retains the same ideals as it used to. BetVictor are well known for accepting successful players and consistently offer some of the most competitive odds of any bookmaker on the major European football leagues. With a pedigree going back to 1946, the company now boasts customers in over 145 countries, with offices in Gibralter, London and Budapest. Betfile have long held accounts at BetVictor and we have been very pleased with the limits and odds on football and UK horse racing.

Bet 365

Founded in 2000, Bet 365 is now the world’s biggest gambling company. With a staff of just 3000 they reportedly have a customer base of 22 million worldwide. In our personal experience Bet 365 odds are very competitive but they really only cater to recreational bettors. We have on occasion been limited on horse racing bets but have not had a problem with football. There live streaming of sports is excellent and range of markets first class. Bet 365’s ‘one wallet’ system gives you access to Sportsbook, Casino, Games, Vegas, Poker and Bingo rooms, with the minimum of fuss.
