Bet365 is one of the largest sports betting houses in the world. The site was created in 2000 in the United Kingdom and currently, it is estimated that it has more than 19 million registered users around the globe.
The company is licensed by the Gibraltar Gambling Commissioner, one of the most demanding regulatory bodies in the iGaming sector, which is why Bet365 is present in almost all countries where online betting is allowed.
The site covers more than 30 sports, with up to 270 markets available, and even has an online casino with more than 1200 games.
We test the entire site to provide our readers with a complete and up-to-date review. See what we think!

Bet365 is one of the oldest betting sites on the market. And with 24 years of experience, the house follows one of the most demanding licenses in the world, and offers a fast website, with the main betting markets available. However, it lacks in some central points, such as a high rollover for its welcome bonus.
The speed of loading and ease of navigation appear as positive highlights of Bet365. We realized that with just a few clicks, we were able to find all the information we needed to place our bets and discover interesting opportunities.
Once we open the house’s website, we can explore the day’s featured events in the center of the screen. In the menu on the left, we find the list of 41 sports offered by the house.
The site also has two top menus: in the first gray horizontal bar, we have links to the verticals of the portal (Sports, Casino, Bingo, etc.). With the green bar just below, we navigate through the sports betting area (Sports, Live and My Bets).
Another point available in the top menu in green is access to the profile via the person icon located in the top right corner. We found that account management is very simple: just click on the available balance at the top of the page to access the settings options.
In summary, we had excellent navigation throughout the Bet365 website . It’s an intuitive and convenient user experience, making navigation enjoyable for gamers
Registering with Bet365 is simple! Simply access the website, click on ” Register ” at the top of the page and fill in the information requested by the house.
To avoid any doubts, check out the step-by-step instructions we have prepared:
We noticed when registering that there is no option to enter via social networks, such as Google and Facebook. Although it is not yet as popular, this option tends to be faster and is already present in bookmakers such as Betano and Stake .
Another important point is that to register with Bet365, we need to provide personal data , such as CPF, address and telephone number. This type of information is required by serious bets and is necessary to avoid duplicate accounts and access by minors under 18 years of age to the platform.
All users’ information is stored on servers in the European Economic Area and is protected by the legislation in force in the territory, following the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
Follow the steps below to log in to Bet365:
Ready! You have logged in to the website.
If you don’t remember your password, click ” Trouble logging in? ” on the access panel and follow the website’s instructions to recover your login details.
During our tests, it was not necessary to go through any two-step validation or complete CAPTCHA, making entry simpler, depending only on login and password.
Bet365 requires all players to verify their identity before they start betting.
Our team has prepared a video to guide you through this process:
As we see in the video, checking the data is very simple. But if the banner requesting validation does not appear for you, simply click on your profile icon in the top right corner of the website, click on ” My Account ” and then on Verification in the left column of the new page.
We must provide the correct data as it appears in our documents. And, unlike other betting houses, it is not necessary to send proof of address or copy of any documentation.
We see this positively, as the house itself can check the information and no longer exempts its customers in this process.
According to PageSpeed Insights , a Google tool that measures website speed, the Bet365 home page load time is 1.1 seconds , on average.
Unfortunately, when using a cell phone, the site tends to be slower. In the speedometer report, the average is 4.8 seconds.
And on more media-rich pages, like casino games, loading tends to be slower.
We noticed this when accessing the Ancient Gods: The Trident of Poseidon slot , which took 3.35 seconds to load on the computer. In the mobile version, the delay is 6.2 seconds, according to PageSpeed Insights.
Bet365’s registration bonus is its main promotion, aimed especially at new customers.
We wanted to take advantage of the offer and, to do so, we needed to make an initial deposit of at least R$30.
The Bet365 bonus value is 50% up to R$500. In other words, when we deposit R$100, for example, we receive R$50 as a gift, totaling R$150 at the bank.
We admit that, although the value of R$500 is attractive, the offer does not shine in our eyes. This is because receiving only 50% of the first deposit is below what we usually see from the competition.
We say this because, despite having a 12x multiplier, Bet365’s rollover comes out ahead of Betano’s, as it only accounts for the bonus amount . See below what this account looks like:
Analyzing bookmaker bonuses can involve a lot of math! And it’s a good idea to always have your calculator close by to find out what the best offers are.
In the case of Bet365, we concluded that, despite the percentage of just 50%, it is still an interesting offer due to the low rollover.
Bet365 had, on average, 270 open markets for the January 8th NBA games.
Currently, the Bet365 website has 41 sports available to bettors. And football is, without a doubt, the main highlight of the house.
After all, it is a great national passion not only here, but also in the United Kingdom, where the site originates. Therefore, we found a wide variety of events to bet on.
During our tests, the house covered around 109 football championships, during a low season period, in January. During the high season in the middle of the year, the quantity tends to rise. And anyway, having more than 100 football tournaments to bet on is already a big attraction for Bet365.
Among the Brazilian competitions that the house offers, we can bet on the Brasileirão, the Copa do Brasil and the state championships . Internationally, we also find events such as:
Horse racing is also in evidence at Bet365, mainly due to the platform’s English tradition. The venue brings together competitions from different countries, such as Brazil, Uruguay, Argentina, the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and also broadcasts live all the races in Great Britain, France and Ireland.
With so many racing options, it comes out ahead of competitors like 22bet , which only covers some of the events in the United Kingdom, and Betano, which doesn’t even offer the sport on its website.
And a curiosity: we discovered that Bet365 is internationally known for sponsoring many sporting events, with more than 20 stages of British tournaments promoted in 2023 alone.
Despite not having exorbitant numbers of markets, Bet365 delivers the main options to its bettors, offering around 270 open markets in some basketball and football events, for example.
Bet365 had, on average, 270 open markets for the January 8th NBA games.
Unfortunately, this number lags behind some of its competitors, such as Betano and 20bet. See the comparative table we have organized:
From the table, we can already see that 20bet has more markets than Bet365 , a number 2.9x larger, to be exact, and it is also ahead of Betano.
In football, this is no different. See the comparison of open markets for the Premier League at bookmakers:
Once again, Bet365 appears with 9.5x fewer options available than 20bet, and less than half the number of markets as Betano.
Although the number of markets is lower than that presented by its competitors, Bet365 has the most popular options for its bettors. And here, we believe that the maxim applies: quantity does not define quality!
To see all the possibilities available in football, for example, just access the sport’s page and scroll to the Markets area.
List of some of the markets available for Football at Bet365
As we can see, Bet365 has different handicap lines , whether European or Asian. In our investigations on the site, we found 13 submarkets , including handicap versions on cards and corners.
In this regard, the house surpasses its competitors: at Bet365 we found only 8 options, and at 20bet there were 6.
We already know that Bet365 is one of the most popular bookmakers in the world. But are your odds the best on the market?
To find out, we compared Bet365 odds with other market giants.
See what we found when studying the Brasileirão 2023 odds in the 1×2 market.
Bet365 had, on average, 270 open markets for the January 8th NBA games.
Unfortunately, this number lags behind some of its competitors, such as Betano and 20bet. See the comparative table we have organized:
The most advantageous odds for each event are highlighted in bold.
As we can see, Betano appears with the best odds on the Corinthians x Grêmio, and América Mineiro x Bragantino games.
In the Bahia x Santos game, 22Bet appears with the best odds to bet on the home team or the draw.
But if your desire is to bet on Santos, Bet365 and Betano have the best option.
When making the comparison, we realized that Bet365 does not have the best odds in this market .
In Tennis, the scenario is similar. See how the comparison of houses for the WTA in Guadalajara turned out:
In this modality, 22bet does not have any of the best odds. Unless we consider Emiliana Arango’s game, all houses have equal odds for her victory. Furthermore, Betano is the one with the best options.
But Bet365 is not far behind: the odds for Kostyuk and Kenin to win are the same in both houses.
We therefore conclude that the standard quotes on the Bet365 Winning market are within what is practiced in the market , but we can find better options in some of its competitors, as shown.
We find Bet365’s increased odds on the betting site’s home page. But we can also filter Boosted Bets on the event pages themselves, if any of their markets participate in the promotion.
Increased odds at Bet365
We note that these odds are available for creating multiple bets and we did not find increased odds for single bets.
Therefore, we have an important caveat: the selections made by the bookmaker are quite specific and may not correspond to the bets we want to place. Therefore, before taking advantage of the promotion, it is essential that we are up to date with the players and teams, ensuring that the bet is truly advantageous.
Despite not having exorbitant numbers of markets, Bet365 delivers the main options to its bettors, offering around 270 open markets in some basketball and football events, for example.
Also known as ” Early Withdrawal “, this tool allows you to minimize losses by closing a bet before the sporting event ends if the results are not in your favor. It’s a way to have control over your bets in real time.
At Bet365, we find cash out in betting tickets, in management options.
When you click on ” Close Bet ” in the ” My Bets ” menu , you will see a list of guesses that can be withdrawn, in whole or in part.
And to avoid making any mistakes when canceling a tip, it is important to be aware of the Terms and Conditions:
The process is simple and quick, however, unfortunately, the house does not inform you in advance in which markets it offers this option. Therefore, it is only possible to check whether the cashout is available after placing the bet.
This feature consists of live broadcasting of sporting events , allowing bettors to follow matches in real time.
This can be valuable for placing bets during the event, following the game’s progress on the betting site.
Identifying whether a match has a livestreaming feature is easy: when you see a play button next to an event on Bet365, it means you can watch it live directly on the platform.
We found that in Football, it is more common to find live streaming in smaller championships, due to the rights to broadcast the competitions on TV channels and streaming services.
However, in Basketball, you can find several NBA games available , including big matches!
Most live streaming events are broadcast in high definition. We tested a tennis broadcast and the experience was positive: we watched the video without any hiccups and with excellent image quality.
The biggest problem is that, generally, the narration takes place in the language of the country hosting the event , or of one of the participating teams or athletes. Therefore, it is not common to find narrations in Portuguese for international events.
Statistics provide detailed data and information about sporting events. We believe this tool helps us make decisions based on technical evidence and facts rather than assumptions.
At Bet365, you can access player and match history on the right side screen of the event page.
From what we tested, the data is well updated, with real-time edits on live events. So, even when there is no live streaming coverage, we can follow every step of a game or competition using the statistics tool.
We identified that Bet365 has been investing heavily in its online casino to deliver a high quality experience.
Currently, it has original games and also from renowned providers in the iGaming market, including Evolution and Pragmatic Play.
Thus, the house is able to offer an impressive selection of more than 1,200 games for gamblers to enjoy, such as slots, roulette and live rooms!
From the home page, you can easily browse featured games and also search for specific games.
The Bet365 Casino has more than 1,000 slots available to entertain its bettors. To check out all the options, access the site’s Casino page, click on the ” All Games ” tab and then on ” Slots “.
In this selection you will find games from original games to large iGaming producers. You can also access well-known games such as the Age of the Gods franchise, or slots with other themes, such as TV shows, various legends and sports.
To test the casino, we decided to play the original Bet365, Ancient Gods: Apple of Discord, and we had a great experience, despite the loading delay.
Bet365 original slot
The game took about 7 seconds to fully load, but once it finished, it had no glitches. The graphics are excellent and the spins happen quickly.
The minimum betting amount is R$1.25, and part of the amount spent by home bettors is accumulated for the weekly jackpots.
It’s worth remembering that there are no secrets or strategies in this type of game: you can only count on luck! Therefore, be cautious with your bets.

Bet365 offers a variety of roulette types, including European, American and themed games such as Diamond Bet Roulette.
Our tests with these games were positive. Loading was quick, and the graphics are of high quality and without crashes, providing a very pleasant gaming experience.
Unfortunately, we have not identified demo versions of most Bet365 roulette games . Therefore, it is not possible to test the games without paying from your balance.
Have you ever thought about playing bingo at Bet365 ? Well, know that it is possible! We tested the house’s exclusive website for this type of online game, and we had a lot of fun.
The platform offers cards with different themes and free games throughout most of the day. In addition, we can also communicate with other players through the website’s online chat.
The quality of the Bet365 Live Casino is excellent , regardless of whether you are playing on mobile or desktop.
During our testing, images loaded quickly and there were no stutters , allowing for a fluid gaming experience.
We were drawn to the possibility of interacting with dealers and other players through live chat.
Furthermore, while we were testing the platform, Bet365 offered 5 room options in Portuguese , with Brazilian dealers. Most tables are still English, but there are also other language options, such as Spanish, Arabic, and even Japanese!
This is information that is highly sought after by gamblers, given that the so-called ” Jogo do Aviãozinho ” and other Crash-type games have become very popular in Brazil.
However, Bet365 does not seem to be ahead of the trend, and unfortunately does not yet offer Aviator to its bettors.
You can find it on other platforms, such as Betano and BC.Game.
We consider Bet365 to be very reliable!
The house has been operating in the betting market for 24 years and is currently licensed in countries such as Malta, Spain and the United Kingdom. The last two, in particular, are among the most demanding regulations in the online betting market, with strict standards for sites, such as:
The website has SSL encryption, which guarantees protection of user data, following the guidelines of the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
Bet365 also offers security in transactions: it is only possible to make withdrawals to accounts held by yourself. This prevents malicious people from transferring funds to third-party accounts.
Furthermore, as we saw at the beginning of the text, the user must confirm their identity before even starting to bet.
We analyzed what bettors have to say about the brand in Brazil, exploring one of the largest company evaluation platforms in Brazil: Reclame Aqui.
Bet365 original slot
This happens because Bet365 does not use Reclame Aqui as one of its support channels.
This positioning is common among betting sites, and does not indicate anything wrong with the house’s conduct.
But we cannot fail to check which are the most common complaints among Brazilian bettors and suggest possible explanations:
Bet365 has clear responsible gaming policies in place to promote healthy betting practices and prevent addiction.
Here are the tools offered by the bookmaker in this initiative:
To access these tools, simply click on your profile icon and then select the ” Responsible Gaming ” option.
You can then explore and utilize the aforementioned measures to ensure a healthier gaming experience.
We bring good news for bettors who prefer to play on their cell phones: Bet365 has an app for Android and iPhone!
This is one of the house’s advantages, as many betting sites are still unable to offer apps to the Brazilian public, especially iOS users.
But Bet365 has managed to make its app available for major operating systems , making it accessible to a wider audience.
We tested the application and found that it offers good loading speed and supports all the features of the main website.
Downloading the Bet365 app is very simple. Just follow the steps:
You will now have the Bet365 app installed on your smartphone! You can now start betting and take advantage of all the features offered by the house.
Bet365 uses the main payment methods for Brazilians when making a deposit, such as PIX , bank slip and card!
When withdrawing, there is a limitation: it is only possible to withdraw via bank transfer .
Check the values of each option:
After logging in to the Bet365 website, you will see the ” Deposit ” button next to your balance in the top corner of the page.
Click on it and, in the new opened panel, choose your preferred payment method. Define the deposit amount, which must be equal to or greater than R$30.
Depending on the method chosen, the bookmaker may request some personal data, such as your Astropay login or card information. Indicate what is necessary to complete the deposit.
Processing time varies depending on the payment chosen. In the case of bank slips and transfers , processing can vary from 1 to 2 business days.
In our case, we made the deposit via credit card. As with any online purchase, you must inform the card number, code, expiration date, name of the card holder (must be the same as the account holder) and CPF.
After making the deposit, the credits dropped into the account within a few minutes.
To withdraw at Bet365, follow these steps:
When we made our first withdrawal, we were disappointed as we could only withdraw via bank transfer .
We request that the money be sent to a digital bank and provide the account details. As it is a virtual bank, it was not necessary to provide the branch address, but we note that this is required in the case of traditional banks.
The transfer deadline also disappointed us: it took almost 2 days to reach our bank account! This deadline is within the deadline stated by the bookmaker, but as we are used to the efficiency of PIX, we ended up worrying a little about the delay.
We investigated Bet365’s service, and overall, the experience was positive . The website has different communication channels:
Click ” Help ” in the top menu of the website or in the profile area. On the new page, we find a complete panel with answers to users’ most frequently asked questions.
In general, we found the topics to be very complete, with tutorials and relevant information to answer bettors’ most introductory questions.
To access, click ” Contact Us ” in the Help section in the footer of the site. This is a chat with initial assistance via a “virtual attendant”, that is, a robot.
If Bet365’s Artificial Intelligence is unable to help us, it directs us to a human attendant.
In our experience, this type of service was frustrating . For example, we asked something simple, like whether there is cash out at the house, and we didn’t find a satisfactory answer from the bot. He directed us to a human attendant who answered our questions, but the simple process that could have lasted 5 minutes ended up taking longer.
In case of difficulties at Bet365, we have the option of sending an email to support-por@customerservices365.com and speaking to the site’s support team.
However, we emphasize that the response may take time! When we contacted you through this channel, our response took about two days.
Bet365 does not usually provide services on its social networks.
Therefore, we do not recommend trying to contact the brand via networks. If you want to follow the brand’s profile on Instagram, its username is @bet365 . But, at the time of our analysis, the Instagram account was restricted in Brazil.
We emphasize that it is important to be careful when searching for the house on Instagram or Google, as there are unofficial profiles that try to impersonate the betting site. Therefore, we recommend paying attention to the website’s official URL: bet365.com and only following the official profiles on the networks.
On Twitter, for example, the Bet365 official profile has a gold verified symbol, showing that it belongs to the brand.
A fake profile, even though it has the brand name in the profile and as part of the user, does not have the golden verified seal:
In addition to the verification badge, other signs we can look for to determine whether a page is legitimate or not are:
After a complete analysis of Bet365, we concluded that the bookmaker is an excellent option and worth signing up for.
It’s not perfect, but there are certainly more positives than negatives about this traditional bookmaker.
As we have seen, Bet365 follows strict regulation, being licensed by the United Kingdom, Malta and Spain, whose official bodies monitor the site whenever necessary.
This means that it meets security and suitability requirements that guarantee greater peace of mind for bettors, and a respected reputation for the house.
Furthermore, we identified a welcome offer for new bettors with a value of R$500, very competitive among sports betting bonuses.
See other advantages of the house:
In addition to the advantages of the house, we also identify areas that can be improved.
The lack of investment in Reclame Aqui, resulting in unresolved comments, is a notable gap in Brazil.
In sports betting, we found the 12x rollover too high for a bonus of just 50% on the first deposit, both unusual practices in a market that tends to be more generous with promotions.
Furthermore, within the casino, the lack of games like Crash, such as Aviator, which is quite popular in the country, also disappointed us.
And when making our transactions, we were shocked to find only bank transfers as a withdrawal option. Not even PIX was available.
Despite the negative points, we still hold Bet365 in high esteem and have determined that it is an excellent option for bettors, especially those who are just starting out and prefer safer, more traditional bookmakers.
However, if you are looking for more casino game options, with crash games and live casino, we recommend betting on Bodog , considered by us to be the best online casino
And, if you prefer houses with more payment options and more competitive odds, we recommend Betano, and you can check out our review about it right now!
