Betfred has been on the British gambling market for over fifty years. Gradually, the brand has become recognizable and the company has become increasingly sought after by customers across the country. European bettors have also become actively involved in the services the bookmaker provides.
In today's review, our project offers you an insight into the sports betting system and software components the company uses. We will give you an objective assessment of the quality of the areas Betfred offers as at August 2023.
Official website of bookie
The site's design is dominated by blue and white, which doesn't strain the eye and looks good in contrast. On the centre position of the sidebar, there's a slider showing current bonuses and promotions. The odds for a particular sport can be accessed either from the top menu or from the left-hand side of the screen. Under the list of menu categories, there are also direct links to the general information sections on the left-hand side, including education about sports betting.
Below the slider with the current banners about bonuses there is a line of odds before the match. Above all, the most popular football events are displayed, which is probably logical and justified, given the preferences of British bettors.
The performance of the Betfred online resource is at a good level. And the menu integrity is good enough for new customers to know straight away where to find interesting information.
Security methods
As well as using strong data encryption methods on its platforms, Betfred also takes care of responsible betting on the part of its users. To this end, the company has introduced a special blog with betting tips. The website and mobile app also allow users to limit their spending. The Safe Gambling Charter, set out in five pages of printed text, is also freely available. So there is no shortage of information for punters in this matter.
Welcome Bonus from Betfred
The New Player Bonus is restricted to British and Irish residents. It's a very solid reward (£60 as a freebie), but the following conditions should be strictly adhered to:
- only fund your account with debit cards such as VISA/MasterCard;
- make a qualifying wager of a minimum of £10 no later than 7 days after creating your account;
- freebet can be used within a week of receiving it, otherwise it will be burned.
On the plus side of the Betfred welcome offer, there is no limit on the odds for qualifying bets. It also does not make any difference which market you select for your first bet.
Promo codes
The access to more discounts on bonuses from the company in August 2023 is promotional code SPORTS60. All you have to do is enter it during the registration phase and new opportunities will open up. In particular, new users will get access to the Bet £10 Get £60 offer.
Offers for current clients
There are no offers for VIP's or Loyalty Club. However, there are other benefits for current clients that are worth investigating. Above all, there are daily promotions for individual sports, not necessarily football. There are also bonuses for maximum odds, improved prices, and other popular offers for existing players that will appeal to just about everyone who likes to bet.
Mobile App of Betfred
All of the functions of the official website can also be found on Betfred's mobile products. You can download the mobile betting app freely from the AppStore or Google Play, depending on which operating system you are using on your mobile. In terms of usability, mobile apps are just as good as the desktop version, and in some ways superior. At least the Betfred mobile app is not overloaded with unnecessary information - everything is clear and simple enough.
Additional features
There isn't really anything gimmicky about the company but additional features are still present. However, they are so trivial for the second half of 2023 that very soon we will consider their presence the norm for every UK bookmaker that respects itself and its customers.
Live Streaming
With its exclusive online video streaming platform, the bookmaker is ready to offer high quality streaming. This feature is one of those that elevates Betfred's bookies to the ranks of the best in the business.
#PickYourPunt function
Create a market on your own, along with a quote, here most often provides an opportunity in rare markets. For example, television talk shows or presidential elections fall into this category. However, that doesn't mean that you can't create a bet at Betfred using #PickYourPunt on football. Either way, the bookmaker has the final say in the matter.
Cash Out
The advantage of Betfred's early payout feature is that it is a partial cash out, which is of course only available if the customer wishes to keep part of the money.
Final say
The experience of this company in the sports betting market has to be paid tribute. Nevertheless, on many issues Betfred still needs to improve. One such area is the eSports line. Also the introduction of more methods of depositing a gaming account would not be unreasonable, as would expanding the picture in the matter of payments to external wallets. Of course, it is good to be able to contact the support team by phone and generally when the number of communication channels is maximised.
Among the positive aspects of the bookmaker's company we should mention the mobile app, which is equally well developed for iPhones and Android smartphones. The high level of freebies for new players also draws attention, and is higher than that of competitors, including the best in the British market.
